Blanes Shopping
First-time visitors to Blanes tend be pleasantly surprised when they discover that the town includes a fantastic shopping district.
Located in the old, down-town part of Blanes, is a labyrinth of narrow streets lined with shops, restaurants and Tapas bars.
Added to the mix are small squares, as well as the broad Passeig de Dintre. During the mornings — Monday through Saturday — the latter is the scene of a fresh fruit and vegetables market (check out the size and flavor of the tomatoes, bell peppers, melons, and more).
In the afternoon and evenings the tree-lined Passeig de Dintre transforms into lane filled with terraces — including that of the famous Terresssans tapas bar.
There are many fashion shops, most of which are surprinsingly upscale. And if you are into shoes, bring an extra suitcase.
We plan to soon add information about specific shops to this website.

My boyfriend and I were very surprised to see how many upscale shops there are in Blanes. We certainly did not expect that, so the next time around we brought more money :)
The prices are quite reasonable though, especially the shoes. It is a pity that you can bring so little luggage when you fly. Our solution was to mail several pairs of shoes to ourselves. Doing that costs far less than having to pay the airline for having overweight luggage.
