Blanes travel guide & transfers

About Blanes

Blanes is a real town first and a resort second. Its fish auction still runs every afternoon, the Sa Palomera rock officially marks the start of the Costa Brava, and two botanical gardens — Marimurtra and Pinya de Rosa — sit on the cliffs above the sea. It is the closest Costa Brava beach town to Barcelona airport.

Top attractions

• Marimurtra Botanical Garden and its Mediterranean viewpoint

• Sa Palomera rock and the town beach

• The fishing port and evening fish auction

• Cala Sant Francesc, a pine-fringed cove

Travel tips

• Visit Marimurtra before noon; the cliff terrace has no shade in the afternoon.
