Worth the trip

  • Cala Santa Cristina, Cala Treumal and the nudist-popular Cala Boadella, quieter coves off the Blanes road
  • The Cementiri Modernista, a striking 1901 cemetery with mausoleums by modernista greats, funded by Indianos returning wealthy from the Americas
  • Jardins de Santa Clotilde, tranquil modernista ornamental gardens (1919) with Mediterranean views
