Blanes, apart from being a well-known tourist destination around the world, also receives a very important number of visitors thanks to the sport.

This fact is partly due to the great offer of first class facilities that are suitable for the practice of different disciplines that the town offers and for the mild climate enjoyed by our town, which allows to train and compete throughout the year.

The building is divided into four floors that allow you to practice any sport and host events of any type, whether artistic, business or cultural.
