Serviced Apartments in Blanes

Blanes is a small city on the Costa Brava of Spain, best known for being a seaside resort with a beautiful seafront and excellent beaches. The city is only an hour's drive from Barcelona and only half about the distance from Girona Airport where many budget airlines fly into. Serviced flats and self-catered apartments in Blanes are typically found within a few minutes’ walk of the beach and are becoming increasingly popular with visitors to the area. The city is also becoming a known as alternative destination to better known beach destinations such as Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar, just along the coast.

In total the city has 4 km of beaches, most of which is found on either Blanes Beach (Platja Blanes) and S'Abanell Beach. Both of these beaches are quite spacious with plenty of golden sand on which to choose your spot. There is a picturesque rocky outcrop separating the two main beaches which essentially creates two bays in front of the city itself. With the city not being overly large (it has a population of about 40,000 people) even Blanes city centre (center) apartments are within comfortable walking distance of one of these beaches.

If you fancy taking some time away from the sea and sand there are plenty of attractions to visit. The first of which is the Castle of Sant Joan, a 13th century fortress built to repel Barbary Coast pirates and various other marauders. Another interesting building is the church of Santa Maria; this famous place of worship was built in the 14th century with additions by the famous architect Antoni Gaudi. Other great attractions to visit from your Blanes holiday rental are the 15th century Font Gotica (Gothic fountain) and picturesque botanic garden of Mar i Murtra.

For a very unusual excursion during your stay, try to catch city's roller hockey team in action. The Blanes Hoquei Club competes at the highest level in Spain and to see these professional athletes in action is certainly spectacular. The team competes in the Pavelló d'Esports de Blanes which is a short walk from any Blanes apartment rental, and regularly has over 1000 spectators.

Blanes also has its fair share of bars, nightclubs, tavernas and cafes to choose from; providing you with all the entertainment and delicious tapas you could hope for. If you prefer to save some money by eating back at your holiday apartment in Blanes there are mini-markets in which to stock up on supplies.
