Blanes from Sa Palomera to Marimurtra

Why go

This is a day for visitors who enjoy a town walk followed by a substantial garden visit. Sa Palomera introduces the shape of Blanes bay from the rock, while the central town stop leaves time to explore the waterfront and streets rather than treating Blanes only as a gateway. Continue to Marimurtra for its Mediterranean planting and views over the coast. The garden approach adds an uphill walk, so keep the town wander compact if you want longer among the plants. All three stops form the main route. Check the garden’s current visiting arrangements and allow separate time for meals and your onward journey.
