Sa Palomera and the Gateway to the Costa Brava
Highlight • Natural Monument
Sa Palomera and the adjacent islets can be visited, since a viewpoint has been set up from which you can see a wide perspective of the town and the delta of the Tordera river that flows about 2 kilometers below, following the beach of Sabanell.
This rock is part of the scene of the renowned Blanes Fireworks Festival that is held every summer as part of the activities of the patron saint festivities in honor of the saints Santa Ana and San Joaquín (July 26).
In front of this mound there is a metal arch in the shape of an inverted “V” that symbolizes the door and welcomes you to the Costa Brava.

Monument to Karl Faust
Highlight • Monument
Having already passed the age of fifty, he decided to recover the illusions of youth and dedicate himself to science. He invested his fortune in the construction of a botanical garden that was to be, at the same time, a research and educational center for Europeans from the center and north of the continent, who would find, in Blanes, the favorable conditions for numerous plants from arid and tropical climates. that in their countries of origin they could grow only in greenhouses. He named the garden Marimurtra, uniting in a single word one of the characteristic Mediterranean plants that grows in these lands, the myrtle, with the Mediterranean that bathes the feet of the garden.
A board of trustees manages the Private Foundation which, from the moment of his death, has guaranteed the continuity of his altruistic project.

Starting in March, I recommend La Gaviota restaurant if you want fresh fish from the store. The rock of Sa Palomera, where the Costa Brava begins, opens its doors to the fishing district of S'Auguer and to a city that is home to one of the most important fish markets in Catalonia, with daily sales of fresh fish.

Monument to La Puntaire
Highlight • Monument
It is accompanied by two beautiful poems, one by the same sculptor and the other by Marta Cortada.
In Blanes there were many "Puntaires" at the beginning of the last century. That is why every year for its main festival a meeting of fans is held, which was an important task.

A modern port equipped with all the necessary services to carry out any maritime activity you need.
