Calella is located in the Spanish region of Catalonia on the Costa Maresme, which is commonly regarded as being part of the better-known Costa Brava. This thriving modern town is just 50 kilometres north of Barcelona. Calella De La Costa has three kilometres of sandy beaches make this the tourist capital of the Costa Maresme.
Calella De La Costa attracts both Spanish holidaymakers, people looking for property and international tourists, primarily from Germany, Britain and Scandinavia. Its many modern hotels, with a total of 14,000 beds, gear themselves to the package holiday market and good transport links enable the big tour operators to bring holiday groups here in droves in the summer months.
The local authorities and commercial organisations in Calella De La Costa have gone to great pains to court the international tourist market. The beaches have 50,000 square metres of sand between them so they're never over-crowded and are kept spotlessly clean by an army of local council workers. The seafront entertainment, on the modern esplanade and on the beaches themselves, is second to none. During high season there are beach games, organised activities for children, plenty of watersports, dancing, fiesta's.
The beach at Calella is obviously the biggest pull for the majority of tourists but Calella has other attractions, not least of which is its proximity to Barcelona. Trains run every half hour to the great metropolis which must surely rate as one of the most beautiful and exciting cities in the world. At the beginning of June there's a big Sardana festival at the beach and in Dalmau Park. And if you're visiting in the middle of September you'll be able to enjoy one of the biggest fiestas of the year - the music festival of La Minerva which includes the election of Miss Calella and the not-to-be-missed parade of the giants. Huge papier-mache figures, beautifully sculpted and painted, are carried through the streets in one of the most extraordinary spectacles in the whole of Spain.
