Blanes

The coastal town of Blanes extends across 18 square kilometers at the southern edge of Costa Brava in Catalonia, bordering the Mediterranean Sea.

The settlement dates back to Roman times when it was called Blanda, developing from a fishing village into a significant administrative center over centuries.

The Santa Anna festival in July features international firework displays that draw more than 500,000 visitors to experience this regional celebration.
