Blanes<\/strong> and its landscape have been a source of inspiration for artists, poets and writers whom the city has welcomed and from whom we have been able to capture its artistic legacy.<\/h2>\n

The Costa Brava has welcomed many outstanding literary artists, either because they were born here or as a host after discovering the area on a business, sporadic or tourist trip.<\/p>\n
