For nature lovers, no holiday to Blanesis complete with a visit to the Mar i Mirta Gardens, housing 4,000 plant species. Ancient sites of the old town include the palace of the Viscounts of Cabrera and the medieval castle of Sant Joan. For a great family day out on your Blanes holidays, try Europe's biggest water park, just up the road. South of Blanes is Marineland with dolphins, sea lion shows and a reptile house.
Culture
The bustling daily farmers' market sells fruit and vegetables on weekday mornings, while souvenirs, leather goods etc can be found at the Monday market. The town has fiestas throughout the year, the biggest of which is the Festa Major from 24 - 28th July. The streets become a riot of music, dancing and entertainment, but the highlight is the fireworks contest. Even by Spanish standards, it's a sparkler of an occasion. But no matter whatever you get up to on your Blanes holidays, you'll enjoy taking it easy in true, relaxed Spanish style!
Nightlife
You won't be bored after dark on your Blanes holidays! Choose from nearly 100 restaurants, from burger bars and cheap Chinese eateries to more upmarket establishments offering international fare and local dishes. Blanes is strongly geared to holidaymakers looking for fun, and this means traditional fiestas, folk dances and Spanish music, good news for those with a taste for different cultures. After dinner, music bars, half a dozen clubs, and hotels offer live entertainment in the summer. If you're feeling lucky, there's also a casino between Lloret de Mar and Blanes.
Blanes' four kilometres of coastline means a variety beaches with everything from long, wide stretches of sand to small, secluded rocky coves. With enough space for everyone, beaches here are well-maintained, clean, safe, and have plenty of facilities for people on Blanes holidays.
Join the locals for a stroll along the wide, palm-fringed promenade, watch the fishermen come in and the daily auction of their catch, or meander by the marina. For the best view in Blanes, climb the Sa Palomera promontory half way along the main beach.
