Tribute to "La Dona Marinera"
Highlight • Monument
It is a statue carved in bronze that rests on a rounded granite block, located in the southern part of the large beach (platja gran) of Lloret de Mar and accessible by a cobbled path that runs along the coast to the castle of San Juan of Lloret. It is located in a small cobbled square and surrounded by benches, where pedestrians can rest and enjoy the view of the sea.
The Venus, 2.40 meters high on the pedestal, represents a female figure looking towards the sea as if greeting or saying goodbye to someone. Barefoot, with perky breasts and wearing a fine, tight-fitting suit, she looks towards the sea, raising her right hand as if trying to communicate with someone or something from the sea.

Sant Joan Castle of Lloret de Mar
Highlight • Castle
The fortification is located on the cliff of a small elevation popularly known as Cerro Castell, about 60 meters above sea level, which separates Lloret beach from Fenals beach. From its position you can perfectly see both the area near the center of Lloret and the castle of San Juan de Blanes, which is part of the same line of fortifications (hence they share the same name).
The castle is accessible both by car and on foot, with a path that starts from one of the main promenades of the town and runs along the sea side, until reaching the promontory on which it is located from the east.

Fenals Beach
Highlight • Beach
On one side of the beach, in the form of a very open bay with deep waters, stands a promontory (which is the highest point on the coast of Lloret) where the remains of the Castle of San Juan are.

Sant Francesc Cove
Highlight • Beach
Sant Francesc cove is a beautiful and very well equipped beach. The surroundings are urbanized, but no buildings stand out above the abundant trees. It is located just over a kilometer from the urban center of Blanes, in front of a quiet, tree-lined residential area. It has a length of 170 meters and is made up of coarse-grained sand. The entrance slope to the sea is quite steep and the seabed is sandy, except for a rock on the shore, on the right side of the beach.
It has showers, a small parking area, a beach bar and rental of sun loungers, parasols and pedal skates. It also has a tourist cruise service, which tours the town's beaches and reaches neighboring Lloret de Mar. It is delimited, to the west, by the tip of La Roqueta, in front of which they are located, about 120 meters from the sea. Inside, some rocks known as the Niell de Cala de Sant Francesc.
To the left of the beach extends a rocky area very suitable for diving and angling. A small coastal path runs along part of this stretch of coastline. Halfway to the tip of S'Agulla, which is less than a kilometer away, is the beautiful rocky cove of Sa Llapissada, which is difficult to access on foot.

Camí de Ronda of Blanes
Highlight • Trail
The Camino de Ronda is the name by which the route that ran along the quiet Costa Brava was known and was used by the Civil Guard to control the Spanish maritime border and prevent smuggling. Nowadays it is also known as an attractive walk through which we can travel along the Costa Brava and its respective beaches. In recent years, renovations have been made, thanks to which they have turned the walk into a tourist route.

Monument to Karl Faust
Highlight • Monument
Having already passed the age of fifty, he decided to recover the illusions of youth and dedicate himself to science. He invested his fortune in the construction of a botanical garden that was to be, at the same time, a research and educational center for Europeans from the center and north of the continent, who would find, in Blanes, the favorable conditions for numerous plants from arid and tropical climates. that in their countries of origin they could grow only in greenhouses. He named the garden Marimurtra, uniting in a single word one of the characteristic Mediterranean plants that grows in these lands, the myrtle, with the Mediterranean that bathes the feet of the garden.
A board of trustees manages the Private Foundation which, from the moment of his death, has guaranteed the continuity of his altruistic project.

Trail Reviews
We probably don't walk as many steps as we did on our entire holiday in Spain all year round. 😅 It was another great final tour with a magnificent view of Blanes. We did not visit the botanical gardens on this tour, although they are certainly beautiful to look at. We need a reason to come back. (HM total approx. 400)
We mainly follow the GR 92 and the Camí de Ronda Just right for winter. It's still a bit chilly in the morning, but as soon as the sun comes out it's fine. I'm going to test Bergfex on this tour and then transfer the tours to Komoot afterwards. So it can happen that the photos are mixed up.
Today we go from Lloret to Blanes👣.. First to Playa de Fenals and on to Playa Cala Sa Boadella. We like it there and we'll stay right away for 🏊♀️🏖️☀️🍻 and stuff😅. We then continued along the Way of St. James for a bit... we actually wanted to continue along the coast, but unfortunately here too 🖐️ Everything was cordoned off privately with a fence... Well, that's apparently the case everywhere or the path simply doesn't exist anymore 😠. The road went to Santa Christina, so we didn't dare go down to the beach...if there wasn't a path along the coast. So we continued to Cala de Sant Francesc, then up and down again until we reached Blanes😰...It's a shame we should have gone further along the coast...but Komoot doesn't know everything after all😉. With the bus it goes back to Loret....
Today we hiked the last stage of the GR 92 -Cami de Ronda 🙂 In the morning we started from Fenals beach. First we passed one or the other bay ⛱️😍...until we could see the skyline of Blanes from above. Several stairs and steps lower we arrived in the city. Unfortunately, the path was road-heavy in many areas 🥾... and not nearly as beautiful as other stages. We ended up walking back to Fenals from Blanes to spend two more days of rest at the end of our wonderful trip. What can I say: 1 vacation countless beautiful bays and beaches ⛱️ great places🏘️ a dreamy way delicious food 😋 (okay drink too 😂 🍇🍷🍺) ...and unforgettable the no idea how many 1000 steps 🙈 It was nice 🥰
You can have a beach holiday in Lloret, but you don't have to. We decided to visit Blanes first. Quickly ripped open on Komoot and accidentally caught 90% of the G92. The beginning was great, but in the middle it was a very long walk down a busy street. But more on that later. Nevertheless, it was wonderful and this route, with a detour, has my recommendation for hiking afterwards. But you have to know that what feels like 1000 steps adorn this path. Luckily mostly in the shade. But the narrow ones are mostly downhill, so I wouldn't recommend this route in the opposite direction. A path paved with stones went along rocks from the beach to the Dona Marinera (bronze mermaid statue) this path went to the next bar, then uphill over a wonderful forest footpath with great views to the ruins of Castell de Sant Joan. We gladly paid the entrance fee of 3 euros. The tower has been restored and can be climbed. In order to stay on the sea side, leave the G92 for a moment and the first steps on the G92 were not long in coming. Shortly thereafter, the 2nd beach of Fenals greeted us. Of course, a root path could not be missing and it went steeply uphill. The beautifully landscaped park Jardins de Santa Clotilde has our recommendation again and costs 6 euros. Then we continued on the G92 along wonderful paths until we came to the road. There is a sandy path here, but apparently this abbreviation is very busy - and not slow. It's a bit dusty, but then it's a paved road, it's very hot on the side of the houses, the opposite side is a little more pleasant. The Cami de Santa Cristina road is without a footpath and also well traveled and still runs via the G92. Here I would now ask at the botanical garden Jardi Botanic Pinya de Rosa whether you can also get out on the other side at the gate. From what I've seen it will mean no. So, after passing the height, we left the G92 again, apparently through a holiday home, we went down steps to the beach of Sant Francesc. We didn't see any other restaurant in the whole area and the queue on the beach to get in was longer. There was also a small counter for ice cream and drinks for the beachgoers that was fairly empty. I quickly climbed the chapel on my own, but apart from a nice shady forecourt with this building and a wonderful view of the beach and our path, there was nothing to marvel at. So back to the beach and up a forest path to the Jardi Botanic Marimurtra, for which I planned this detour. Unfortunately, these doors were closed and you didn't even realize that it was public. At the 2nd gate in the way Carrer del Jardi said on a sign that you could call a phone number in case of groups. But maybe we just caught lunchtime. On the other hand, the further way gave us fabulous views on the ascent to the Turo Sant Joan Unfortunately, you can't visit the tower there either, but the views of the land and sea make up for it here, too. Then again over narrow steps down to Blanes. This recording ends here on the Sa Palomera lookout rock. We then took the bus back to Lloret for 2.4 euros.
Great hike with contrasts. In between, a long stretch is on the road, especially since the "bypass" is now closed in one place. It is also impossible to get through on foot. So you can save yourself the detour. You have great views of beautiful bays and get to know the party mile from a completely different and beautiful side. Therefore, highly recommended, despite the stretch along the road.
Along the Catalan coast - on the Mediterranean route (GR 92) from Lloret de Mar to Blanes - Stage 12 This morning I watched the people and the action on the promenade in Lloret while drinking a coffee at the beach bar. The party town, as always. Then we went up the first headland, steeply uphill as always. Every now and then down and up. Often up stairs. The highlight was the Castell de San Juan. 160 meters high, just before Blanes. A spectacular view, especially along the entire beach in Blanes. It seems to go on for miles. Blanes is definitely a lot quieter than Lloret. The place is worth exploring later. Tomorrow the last tour along the beach to Calella. #gr92 #gr92mediterrani #gr92costabrava #gr92camideronda #gr922024 #trail #trailadventure #throughiker #me #costabrava #costabravaspain #longdistancehiking #longdistancehikingspain #walking #calabria #calabriavacation #backpack #brooks #brooksrunning #brookstrailrunning #palamos #laselva #roses #begur #longdistancehiking #santperepescador #blanes #toroellademontgri #tamurei #tossademar
