Blanes. My town
At the south east of La Selva, there is a town in front of the sea with a big rock and a castle, this place is called Blanes. My name is Emma and I live in this beautiful place.
In Blanes there are a lot of cultures, mainly is a fishing town, me have a port with many fishing boats, also is a tourist place.
We have Botanical gardens, too. They are Pinya de Rosa and Marimurtra garden, is considered the best Mediterranean garden of Europe.
We have many historical monuments, for example: the Saint Joan castle built in the XII century, it is the higgest side in the town. From there, you can contemplate a wonderful landscape.
The Gothic Fountain, built in the XV century, is an octogonal fountain decorated with animals and necklaces. It’s located on the main street, next to the theater. There we can see contemporany theater plays.
There are a lot of beaches and each one more nicer than the last, they are transparent and turquiose waters, the best place to spend a perfect day. Like the Sabanell’s beach, Blanes beach, Santa Anna’s tip, Treumal’s cave and Saint Feancesc’s cave. For me, Saint Francesc’s cave is the best beach in the world, because I go with my family and often with friends every day in the summer. We have lunch there, we laugh and play… I love these days.
Long time ago this town was called Blanda, Romans gave their name. They created a strategic place in the Catalan’s coast.
50 years ago was built one factory, it was called Safa, all the people went to work there, migrants from the rest of Spain, too. Like my mother’s family.
There are a lot of traditions in Blanes, but highlifts the competition of firecrackers on the sky. We are “famous” because it’s an international contest,we celebrate this on twenty fourth of July and me finish on twenty eighth of July. The most special day is twenty sixth because is Saint Anna’s Patron’s Day. That day there are dances, performances… It’s a big festival!
In Blanes we are specialists in naiming our schools. We love our beaches and tips names, I say that, because most of the schools, have reference to these sites, for example: Sa Palomera, is the big rock located on the middle of the beach and it’s a secundary school too. Sa Forcanera, another cave, it’s a secundary school, too. And finally S’Agulla, my secundary school, is called like that for one shaped rock between Blanes and Lloret de Mar, the next town to the north.
You are all welcome to my town, the most fantastic town in the universe!
