Hi,
Just wondered if there was anyone out there who has been to this campsite. We have booked one of the bungalows for end of May, the site looks good and is right on the beach according to their website, but you never can tell. I would appreciate any information on the area (places to see, restaurants etc things for kids to do i have a 6 year old boy and what will be an 18 month old little girl) What are the water parks like in the area, and how is the local transport. Also we are flying with ryanair and noticed that there is a bus for ryannair passengers which has a drop of in blanes, does anyone know if this is a free service or how much it costs. We have 3 adults and two children in total so i am just rying to figure out the cheapest and easiest way to get to the site. We have stayed in Sanguli nr salou which is also a camping/bungalow parc on several occasions and have been very happy there but thought we would try somewhere alittle different this year, hope we have made the right decision.
Regards
Tracey
I've added this campsite to our review site.
The campsite is right at the end of the town where the main road ends at the beach.
To get into the local centre of town you have a 15 to 20 minute walk. To get to the main centre of town at the port you have a 45 minute walk along the pleasant promanade.
There are plenty of places to eat although we found the better restaurants are towards the port on the seafront. Try the Bahia which is about 100yds past the big rock (you can't miss it) as you walk towards the port. The food is good and the Head waiter/owner (Abundio) is very entertaining especially if you have young children.
The beach is gritty rather than sand and the sea shelves very quickly to about 6 feet deep a couple of strides out from the surfline.
We enjoyed Blanes because it has not been taken over by the Brit 'Fish, Chips and Carling' brigade. There is a good mix of nationalities in the town and on the campsites. There is a small fun fair a short walk (5 mins) from your site and plenty of shops.
The railway station is at your end of the town and trains run regularly to Barcelona, worth a day out. The site will probably also run coach excursions there and you can see all the sights including the Camp Neu if you are a soccer fan. I would not consider driving round Barcelona!!
Girona is a pretty town and you can walk round the walls and explore the narrow streets.
There are regular ferries that run up and down the coast that pick up along the beach so you can get to Tossa and Lloret and many other smaller resorts if you wish. If you are driving then you can also get to them by car. In May it should be easier to park in these resorts. We went in high season and after driving there had to return back to Blanes as there was just nowhere to park! The ferry was much easier! The beaches in these places are more sandy and the sea shallower as well.
I'm sure you will enjoy it.
