overzicht Catalonië Blanes
Meest zuidelijke plaats van de Costa Brava. Noordelijk ervan ligt Tossa
de Mar. Er is hier een botanische tuin, Marimurta met 4000
plantensoorten.
The municipal district of Blanes is situated at the mouth of the
river Tordera, in the extreme south of the province of Girona.
Its northern boundaries are the districts of Maçanet de la Selva,
Vidreres and Lloret de Mar; in the east, Lloret de Mar, in the south,
the Mediterranean, and in the west, the river Tordera serves as a
dividing line from the municipal districts of Tordera, Malgrat de Mar
and Palafolls.
The district, with a surface area of 1.784 hectares is hilly in the
north and east with a flat plain in the west beside the river Tordera.
The town is situated beside the sea at the foot of the Mount Sant Joan
and facing the great natural bay formed by the Sa Palomera rock in the
south west and the Santa Anna promontory in the east.
The most prominent peaks in the district are the Turó del Vilar, 269
metres, and the above mentioned Mount Sant Joan, 169 m, crowned by a
hermitage and the ruins of an old tower about 20 metres high. The most
important river is the Tordera, which springs from an almost
inexhaustible underground source and whose shallow waters depend on
rainfall to achieve any significant flow.
