Blanes (Catalan pronunciation: [ˈbɫanəs]) is a town and municipality in the comarca of Selva in Girona, Catalonia, Spain. During the Roman rule it was named Blanda or Blandae. It is known as the "Gateway to the Costa Brava". Its coast is part of the Costa Brava, which stretches from Blanes up to the French border. The township is 18.29 km². Blanes is a popular tourist town, and it's known for the Concurs de Focs d'Artifici during the Santa Anna festival; this event includes a lot of fireworks. Other places of interest include a botanical gardens, coves, such as the Cala Bona, and beaches which are surrounded by mountains.
As of January 2010 the population of Blanes was 40,010 inhabitants with 20,184 men and 19,826 women.
The history of Blanes predates the Roman conquest. Iberian activity has been attested in the area. Romanization of Blanes and its surroundings began around the 3rd century BC. Roman remains of the Blandae site lie nearby. After the rule of the Romans the area shared the fate of much of the Peninsula, being conquered successively by the Goths, the Moors and the Christians shortly after. In the 13th century, after the Christians regained the power, important architectural developments took place in Blanes. Some examples are the palace, Palau Vescomtal, the Església Parroquial church and the city walls.

CAMILO BLANES- PERDONAME LETRA: Solo vengo, a decirte que mi mundo está incompleto, Porque llevo solo a bordo un pasajero, En este viaje me acompaña tu dolor. Solo vengo a enseñarte un corazón que está muriendo, Y me han dicho que ya no tiene remedio, Pero yo se que el remedio esta en tu voz. Solo vengo a pedirte perdón por el mal que le hice a tu amor Arrepentido estoy, Regresa a mi por favor. Amémonos de nuevo como antes, Robémonos la luna en este instante, Y olvídate, olvídate, Déjame intentar recuperarte. Amémonos con todos los sentidos Regrésame tu amor aquí conmigo Y olvídate, olvídate Que nada volverá a lastimarte. Solo vengo a tomar medio segundo de tu tiempo Para hacerlo con un beso un día entero Y recuerdes el amor entre tú y yo Solo vengo a pedirte perdó...
