Blanes is the start of the Costa Brava in the South. This town has a heavy fishing industry.

There is a long stretch of sandy beach and boat trips can be arranged up and down the coast.

In Blanes, the magnificent botanical gardens covering 5 hectares and the remains of a tenth century castle and the fourteenth century church are all points of interest.

Blanes is a town inhabited by locals and although tourism is important, it is somewhere that is alive all year round.

The train station is situated a little inland making easy access to Barcelona.
