Nativity Scene in Blanes

VisitBlanes.com — It’s like this: if you haven’t had some tapas and something to drink at Cafe Terrassans, you haven’t really been to Blanes.

It’s a wonderful place both inside and outside.

Located just one block from the beach — on Passeig de Dintre, where the daily fresh fruit and vegetables market takes place — Terrassans caters to tourists and locals alike.

It’s terrace is nearly always full. (Tip: when it’s not — and in particular when you do not see any locals there — do as the locals do: wait till the siesta is over. That’s when the kitchen opens again — and the tapas will be at their best).
