Es Blanc, Mediterranean restaurant in Blanes, Spain
Es Blanc is a beach restaurant in Blanes, on the Costa Brava coast, with several areas for eating and drinking arranged across different levels and settings. One section opens directly onto the sand, another offers a covered terrace facing the sea, and there is also an indoor cocktail bar.
Blanes is considered the starting point of the Costa Brava, and the rocky formation called Sa Palomera, which sits just in front of the restaurant, has long served as a reference point for sailors and travelers arriving along this coast. The spot where the restaurant now stands has been a gathering place for locals and visitors for many decades.
The name Es Blanc means "The White" in Catalan, which reflects the light, open feel of the space facing the sea. Visitors often notice how the setting draws people who come as much for the view as for the food.
The restaurant is easy to reach on foot from the center of Blanes, as it sits right on the promenade along the beach. On warm weekends and during summer, the outdoor areas tend to fill up early, so arriving before peak hours helps.
Sa Palomera, the rock formation just in front of the restaurant, is officially considered kilometer zero of the Costa Brava, the point from which the entire coastline is measured. Sitting at a table here means looking directly at the symbolic starting point of this stretch of coast.
