Blanes is known for being the gateway to the Costa Brava, but it is also notable for its great gastronomic variety and its important fishing activity.
Blanes’ fishermen offer daily fresh, quality seafood products. Thanks to these wonderful products, this seafaring village offers 3 culinary workshops of first hand: fish suquet, red prawn and oliy fish.
Each of these days will be held on different dates, where many of the restaurants of the town will have a special menu related to the star product of the day that is played at that time.
