Can Tirol — The Best Little Cocktail Bar in Blanes
At the beach, across from the rock ‘Sa Palomera’
Superb Cocktails with a Fantastic Panoramic View
La roca de Sa Palomera, the rocky promontory in Blanes, marks the official start of the Costa Brava — Catalonia’s wild coast.
To the south (seen in the upper half of the photo) S’Abanell — one of the longest beaches on the Costa Brava — stretches past the El Pins district. There you find a mixture of residential buildings, hotels and campings.
To the north is Platja de Blanes, lined by the popular promenade with its many restaurants, the Monday morning market, and the Sardana dance area.
Behind the promenade is Blanes’ old town — a mixture of picturesque streets, authentic tapas bars, restaurants, and shops.
And right across from the rock is Cocktail bar Can Tirol. Far away from any traffic, our terrace offers fantastic, panoramic views of the Bay of Blanes.
Come and relax at our shaded outdoor terrace. We have a wide selection of wonderful drinks, freshly prepared right on the premises.
Enjoy the stunning views: beautiful people on the beach; others making their way to the top of the rock; fishing vessels, sail boats and yachts coming and going at the harbor, and gorgeous beaches left, right and center.

Where to Find Cockteleria Can Tirol
Cocktail bar Can Tirol is easy to find, even if this is your very first visit to Blanes.
Note: this is the only genuine, original Can Tirol cocktail bar. (For a while a bar around the corner used the same name. That bar is now long gone).
- Go to the beach
- Locate the big rock in the sea. It’s called Sa Palomera. You can’t miss it.
- Can Tirol is right across from that rock
We are within walking distance from the campings, the hotels, and the old town.
If you use the little ‘tourist train instead, take the Plaça de Catalunya stop, head for the beach, and turn right.
You’ll enjoy our raised panorama terrace, directly at the beach. (Our terrace is one of the few places along the beach where you don’t sit near traffic).
