Blanes combines a working Catalan town with a long beach, harbour and traditional family tourism. It feels less dominated by international nightlife than Lloret and offers everyday shops and restaurants throughout a compact centre.
What is there to see and do?
The promenade, harbour, local market and botanical gardens are principal interests. Elevated gardens and viewpoints require access and transport checks.
A useful accessible itinerary leaves space for unplanned café stops and rest periods rather than treating every attraction as compulsory. Opening times, accessible entrances, toilets, companion arrangements and mobility-aid policies should be confirmed with the attraction shortly before visiting.
Terrain and getting around
The central waterfront is easiest, while routes towards headlands and some outer accommodation climb. Paving changes around older streets.
Trace both directions of every important journey. A gentle downhill trip to a beach can become a demanding return, while heat, wind, crowds and battery condition can materially reduce comfortable range.
Best areas to stay
A central or seafront base gives the most independent routine. Campsites and outer hotels may be distant from town services.
Ask for the precise building and accessible entrance, then check the route to reception, the room, restaurant, pool and public street. Request doorway, lift and bathroom measurements rather than accepting a general accessibility label.
Airport transfers and local transport
Nearest airport: Girona–Costa Brava or Barcelona Airport. Both Girona and Barcelona airports are used. Confirm transfer duration and adapted-vehicle availability before selecting flights.
Tell the operator whether the traveller transfers into a vehicle seat or remains in their wheelchair. Provide equipment dimensions and weight together with passenger and luggage numbers.
Mobility equipment hire
Arrange the model around user weight, posture, intended distance, gradients and the accommodation. Confirm delivery, collection, charging, damage terms, breakdown hours and replacement arrangements in writing. Mobility Abroad supplies independent guidance and referral links; bookings and payments are made directly with the selected provider.

Use Blanes as a practical base and arrange specific transport for elevated attractions rather than attempting unsuitable routes.
