Blanes is a small town in the province of Girona, in the autonomous community of Catalonia in Spain. Located on the coast facing the Mediterranean Sea, it covers 17.68 sq km (6.83 sq mi) and has a population of 40,000 people (2012 estimate).

Blanes has been settled as early as Roman times. After the fall of Roman influence, the area was ruled by various powers including the Arabs and later Christian Spain. As with many towns along the coast, the town has since developed as a tourist destination. It is particularly popular for its nightlife.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
