You can come here by train from Barcelona, it takes around 2 hours. Cleaner and more peaceful beaches, relaxed atmosphere is waiting for you after chaotic Barcelona. We ate at different places near the beach, there is a variety of cuisines. You cant rent a car there, as there isn´t any car renting unfortunately. However, Lloret del Mar is only 30-40 min walk from there or 15-20 minutes by bus, where you can rent a car and explore other hidden beaches. Lloret del Mar is much more touristy, has more clubs and entertaiments.

Spanish version of Cannes. Trains run down the Costs Brava from Blanes and continue into Barcelona. Lots of independent shops and usual supermarkets. Local buses to Lloret and Tossa , which are a bargain price. Boat trips from the beach up and down the Costa Brava. Street markets on once a week. Frozen yogurt is to die for, with white and dark chocolate and four or five pieces of fresh fruit.

One of the best cities in Costa brava , spacious enough to take long walks along the beach and yet compact with all necessary shops restaurants etc located in walking distance from any point in the city . Good choice of coffee shops and restaurants

I loved the beaches and the old town. There is a useful map I got from the tourist office showing historic walks round the town and surrounding area. When not on the beach, I followed these to see the sights in the old town, the Marimurtra botanic gardens on the headland, the little beach beyond, and up the hill to the Castell de Sant Joan with spectacular views up and down the coast. There are also great markets: craft, produce, fish and clothing. As the beach is across the road from the town, you can take a dip during your sightseeing. I will be back.

The city's main attractions were great: beach was beautiful and clean, Sa Palomera (the rock), the botanic garden with the views were magnificent and Castell de Blanes offered great views to the city and the coast. Definitely recommend to visit 'Racó Sa Palomera' and 'Pizzeria Dolce Vita Blanes' for a great food. Otherwise nothing to do besides visiting the aforementioned attractions and laying on the beach. The food was very very mediocre to say the best (except for those two aforementioned places). Hard to pick a place to eat, because they were opened or closed at random times which are not indicated in Google or on their website. Often during the evening the places closed many hours before the usual closing times even though they were filled with customers. No basic tourist activities: wasnt even able to rent a bike or scooter or do any wateractivities (boat trips, parasailing, jetskis etc). Local teenagers were really affectionate about fireworks, so expect a jumpscare every 20 minutes when another cracker is set on fire and thrown around in the main tourist spots. Nightlife was nonexistent. Zero nightclubs and we found 1 or 2 bars which were opened longer than 00.00 on a Friday night.
