Top things to do in Blanes for a perfect getaway

When organizing your itinerary, you will find countless things to do in blanes to make the most of your days off. This city is full of contrasts, where the blue Mediterranean Sea blends with the green of its hills. Here are the absolute must-visit spots:

Sa Palomera Rock

This is, quite literally, the exact point where the famous Costa Brava begins. Sa Palomera is an imposing rock formation extending into the sea, dividing the bay in two. Climbing to its viewpoint is mandatory to get a spectacular panoramic view of the promenade. It is also the main stage for the prestigious International Fireworks Competition, a magical event that lights up the city's sky every July.

San Juan Castle (Castell de Sant Joan)

If you are looking for the best postcard view of the region, you must climb up to San Juan hill. At over 170 meters above sea level stands this 11th-century castle. The effort of the climb is rewarded with breathtaking 360-degree views; on clear days, you can see the entire coast and even the Barcelona skyline. It is, without a doubt, the most romantic spot to watch the sunset.

The Botanical Gardens: Marimurtra and Pinya de Rosa

The town is a global benchmark for botany lovers. The Marimurtra Botanical Garden is considered one of the most beautiful gardens in the Mediterranean. Strolling along its cliffside paths, surrounded by over 4,000 plant species from five continents, is a truly magical and relaxing experience. Its Linnaeus Temple, overlooking the sea, is one of the most photographed sights in Catalonia.

Just a few kilometers away is the Pinya de Rosa Botanical Garden, a different paradise focusing on tropical flora. It features one of the most impressive and extensive collections of cacti and succulents in all of Europe.

The Old Town and Fishing Port

Lose yourself in the narrow streets of the historic center, where you can still feel the unhurried pace of traditional villages. Later, head to the fishing port on a weekday afternoon to witness the fleet's arrival. Right after, the traditional fish auction takes place—a frantic and authentic spectacle that connects you with the town's true roots.

Beaches and Gastronomy

For restless travelers, the options range from total relaxation to active tourism:

Sun-soaked Beaches and Coves

The coastline offers over 4 kilometers of beaches for all tastes:

• S'Abanell Beach: The longest and most lively, ideal for families and water sports lovers.
• Blanes Beach: Comfortable and accessible, right in the city center.
• Cala Sant Francesc (Cala Bona): Surrounded by lush pine trees with crystal-clear waters, it's the perfect setting for snorkeling and disconnecting.
• Cala Treumal: The wildest and most picturesque cove, set in a highly protected natural landscape of extraordinary beauty.

Hiking the Coastal Path (Camí de Ronda)

You cannot leave without walking a section of this famous coastal trail. You will be able to walk right along the edge of the cliffs, connecting beautiful beaches while breathing in the scent of pine and the sea breeze.

Taste the Local Gastronomy

The privileged location of the area translates into exceptional Mediterranean cuisine. You must try the famous Blanes Prawn, renowned for its intense flavor, or enjoy a comforting Suquet de peix (fish stew) made with the catch of the day.
