Getting around on your Costa d'en Blanes holidays
Because this village is literally built into a mountain, navigating it requires a bit of savvy to ensure your jollies stay stress-free.
Hire Car - We’d say this is a no-brainer win; the hill is a whopper and you’ll want wheels to hit the nearby coves.
Palma Zip - You’re only 15 minutes from the capital via the Ma-1, making it a cracking choice for city day-trips.
Coastal Ma-1C - Take the lower coastal road instead of the highway for a more scenic drive with gorge views of the Mediterranean.
Walking - Perfectly fine for a downhill morning jog, but unless you're training for an Ironman, you'll want transport for the uphill return.
