Barcelona Apartment to Blanes

Barcelona is a great city destination, especially in the summer because of the great weather and it being on the coast. Although a Barcelona apartment is easily available near the beach, the beaches are not all that great in the city. There are four beaches in the city and finding a Barcelona apartment near them is quite easy if you find the right website, but generally the best beaches are either south towards the Costa Dorada or north towards the Costa Brava. One of the most popular beach destination in the Costa Brava is the town Blanes. So if you feel like travelling to a beautiful beach town one day from your Barcelona apartment then Blanes is highly recommended.

Getting There
At the moment there is a problem with the Renfe trains from the central city station Plaza Catalunya, but you can take the metro on the red line to train stop , Clot.
From Clot there is a train every 30 minutes to Blanes. A return ticket costs €7 and the journey lasts 1.15 minutes.
The train route travels along many stops, and every stop is actually a beach, so if you cannot be bothered travelling this far, then you can get off earlier at stop such as Canet, Badalona, Mas Nou etc..
However if you decide to got to Blanes, then from the train station you take the bus directly to the beach which costs €2 return.
Also there are many Blanes apartments available too if you would prefer to spend some time there.
Here you can enjoy a fantastic beach town but also are close enought to return to the hustle and bustle of the city and your Barcelona apartment.
