What does Cala Banys offer?
The first thing we could say about Cala Banys is that it does have several points in common with the rest of the beaches in Lloret de Mar, which as we have already said are all different from each other; however, the climate, the crystal-clear waters and the mountainous and vegetal landscape are a general factor of any of its shores, whatever type they are. So, if you are specifically looking for this, we are talking about a perfect place for your holidays, where you can also choose thousands of different plans to complete them.
If you are a fishing enthusiast or a snorkelling enthusiast, we are talking more specifically about your own little piece of beach, since Cala Banys is the best place in Lloret de Mar to put these experiences into practice with highly satisfactory results, which will surely exceed your expectations no matter how high we set them; reading about this city is not the same as visiting it.
Special mention and much emphasis is deserved by the landscape surrounding this piece of the Mediterranean, which seems to have been put there to relax with the sound of the waves in the background crashing against the rocks that shape this cove. Just above the shore and presiding over the cobblestones, there is a walkway and some steps –also made of stone– that put the icing on a cake that is not inconsiderable.
How to get to Cala Banys?
Although there are several roads that can take you to Cala Banys – some of which pass through Castell de Sant Joan – such as the one between Blanes and Lloret or the regional road to Vidreres, as well as the C-32 or AP-7 motorways, the journey will always be much more attractive if you walk along any of the routes intended for this purpose. Sometimes enjoying the journey to a place is as important as the place itself, since the views at the beginning are the prelude to the end.
In this particular case, the path that goes from Lloret beach to Cala Banys –known as Camino de Ronda– offers a beautiful passage where you can also find one of the most famous monuments of the municipality located in the region of La Selva, such as the statue of La Dona Marinera, one of the emblems of an eminently maritime city. On the other hand, you can also take the path from Cala Banys to the famous beach of Santa Cristina, which although currently closed, offers wonderful views of the most typical landscapes of the Costa Brava.
