As you know, the entire coast of Spain is divided into resort areas. Each of them is characterized by a unique climate, type of coast, and water temperature regime. For example, the Costa Brava (in translation "coast of the brave") is very similar to the Crimean rocky coast, with many secluded coves with pebbles and sand. The water here quickly warms up, but also cools quickly, so the beach season on this coast lasts until the beginning of October.
But located just a few kilometers south of the Costa Maresme zone ("sea coast") is a sharp contrast with its neighbor. Wide sandy beaches, a flat landscape (mountains recede deep into the mainland), a sharp sunset in the sea are characteristic features of this section of the country. You can swim and sunbathe here until the end of October. The town of Blanes is officially located on the Costa Brava. But he is the southernmost settlement of this area. Therefore, rest in Blanes (Spain)
will give you the opportunity to swim in two
climatic zones at once
. We’ll get to know this resort better by analyzing the feedback of people who have already been there.
Description of the resort and reviews: Blanes, Spain
Most resorts of the Costa Brava were unlucky: in order to get to them, you need to change from a train to a bus. Blanes is "lucky" in this regard. There is a direct train from Barcelona. As the mountains begin further, in Blanes the railway line ends. Tourists arriving in Spain at the Girona airport can get to the resort by regular bus. What about accommodation and what are the local hotels? Blanes (Spain) reviews describe in very different ways. Here, if you wish, you can find both luxury hotels and hostels for unpretentious customers. There is no shortage of resort and private apartments, which are rented by local residents for rent, for a week or a month.
Beach reviews: Blanes, Spain
The most well-groomed, cultural, but at the same time the most crowded (especially in season) is the sandy beach of S'Abannel. Its length is three kilometers, a width of 60 meters. There are changing cabins, a fresh shower, beach ammunition rental, slides for children and all the conditions for practicing various water sports. Nearby is a pier with yachts and tourist boats. Crowds of Russian-speaking tourists will not develop nostalgia for their homeland. Despite their presence, the beach is awarded the Blue Flag every year for the cleanliness of the coast and facilities. If you want a more relaxing holiday, then endless secluded bays (San Francesc, Treumal, Santa Anna) begin to the north of the port.
Tips and reviews: Blanes (Spain) and surroundings
This town, despite its modern appearance, is very ancient. It was inhabited by the Romans. And the city was founded by the Catalan Blanes family, which gave it its name. The feudal tower (near the botanical garden) and two churches remained far from ancient times. However, history buffs don't have to sit in Sydney Blanes. Excellent bus connections will make possible self-guided tours in Lloret de Mar, where the remains of a Roman villa have been preserved. An indelible impression will be left by visiting the unique city of Tossa, about which tourists write exceptionally enthusiastic reviews. Blanes (Spain) has other attractions in its vicinity. In the suburb of Santa Susanna, there is the Marineland water park, where dolphins, sea lions and parrots perform. The water park can be reached from Blanes on a free shuttle.
