🇪🇸 Spain｜Blanes vs Tossa: Which One to Choose?

🌿 Blanes (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) – The Hidden Gem 📍 Jardí Botànic Marimurtra – A cliffside botanical garden with crystal-clear turquoise waters that will leave you speechless! ✨ Why it’s special: Cacti 🌵 + Mediterranean Sea in one frame – a surreal combo! Less crowded than Tossa, more authentic coastal beauty. Stunning viewpoints & hidden photo spots beyond the famous staircase. 🎟️ Ticket: €12 (9AM-2PM) / €10 (2PM-6PM) ⏳ Recommended time: 2 hours 💬 Verdict: "Blanes’ sea is NEXT LEVEL—true ‘jellywater’ Mediterranean vibes!" 🏰 Tossa de Mar (⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️) – The Instagram Hotspot 📍 "Dog’s Hole" (Municipal Museum of Tossa de Mar) – The most famous photo spot (expect queues, mostly Chinese tourists). 📍 Torre d’en Joanas – A scenic uphill path around the castle with great coastal views. 🎟️ Free entry! ⏳ Recommended time: 1-2 hours (if just for photos). 💬 Verdict: "Tossa’s beach is average (pebbly, crowded), but the medieval castle & ‘dog hole’ make it worth a quick stop." 🚗 Transportation Tips From Barcelona → Blanes (1h) → Tossa (30min) Best option: Private car (10-hour rental) to visit both in one day12. Bus alternative: ~€27 round-trip to Tossa (from Estació del Nord)3. 🏆 Final Decision: Blanes Wins! For nature lovers & photographers: Blanes is unmissable—its botanical garden + turquoise sea are breathtaking. For quick IG shots & medieval vibes: Tossa is cute but overhyped (unless you really want that "dog hole" pic). 💡 If short on time? Blanes 100%! Tossa is skippable unless you're a hardcore fan of Blue Lagoon filming spots7. #Spain #Barcelona #TossaDeMar #Blanes #TravelGuide #MediterraneanVibes
