Blanes is a town in the region of Selva, in Gerona, Spain. Originally a fishing and farming village, it is a famous place especially for its international events such as the competition of Focs d’Artifici during the Santa Anna festival but also for its good communications with Barcelona. Blanes attracts tourists thanks to its botanical gardens, coves, beaches and mountains. However, this tourist-centered town always keeps its traditions such as its vegetable and fish markets, and the fish auction.
