Vicente Ferrer y Moncho Park

Highlight • Structure

Beautiful public park dedicated to one of the most universal Catalans in recent history: Vicenç Ferrer y Moncho. The idea arose from the Cooperation, Solidarity and Social Cohesion Commission that proposed to the Blanes City Council to pay tribute to the figure of this distinguished cooperator.

It is a green area that includes a children's park on Paseo de S'Abanell, at the southern end of the municipality where the Costa Brava begins. An open space, surrounded by pine trees with shapes frayed by the onslaught of the wind, located in front of the sea. A corner of Blanes open to the sky and the Mediterranean, which invites you to walk and be calm for a while.

Sa Palomera

Highlight • Viewpoint

Sa Palomera is a large rock that enters the sea and separates the bay of Blanes, in the north, and the beach of Sabanell, in the south, within the municipality of Blanes. It is considered to be the point that begins the Costa Brava.

Sa Palomera and the adjacent islets can be visited, since a viewpoint has been set up from which you can see a wide perspective of the town and the delta of the Tordera river that flows about 2 kilometers below, following the beach of Sabanell.

This rock is part of the scene of the renowned Blanes Fireworks Festival that is held every summer as part of the activities of the patron saint festivities in honor of the saints Santa Ana and San Joaquín (July 26).

In front of this mound there is a metal arch in the shape of an inverted “V” that symbolizes the door and welcomes you to the Costa Brava.

Monument to Karl Faust

Highlight • Monument

Karl Faust was a German businessman and scientific patron, established in Catalonia from 1897. Despite showing concern for natural sciences from a very young age, his parents thought it appropriate for him to study commerce. He went to Barcelona, first as a worker for the Körting Hermanos company, and later he established himself on his own.

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.
