Blanes is the little cousin of Lloret de Mar and it is very popular among young people who have just graduated from high school and are looking for a place to relieve stress. Sun, cocktails, beaches, and parties till the sun comes up is the perfect solution for that. Blanes is not massively big, which is a huge plus for the nightlife, since most, if not all clubs are within walking distance from each other. Especially for the Dutch teenagers, Blanes is one of the most famous holiday destinations and so there are a number of Dutch bars too. Read on to find out what to do in Blanes once the sun goes down!
There are plenty of options in Blanes for a delicious bite to eat. You can choose from almost 100 restaurants with various cuisines, from tasty burgers to delicious Catalan dishes and tapas.
