IV. Blanes – Lloret de Mar

Length: 8.8 kilometres

Description: This is a traditional route that unites these two costal areas and that corresponds to the Long Trail Mediterranean Footpath GR-92, with stretches that allow you to enjoy the culture and landscapes that surround Blanes.
The arrival of Americans in Blanes is visible through the houses that remain standing, though many were demolished during the demographic and touristic boom of the second half of the 20th century, and also through documentation saved by families and the municipal archives.
