Explore Calella

You’ll find an excellent range of water sports and beach entertainment in the summer months. If you’re looking for action holidays, there are beach games on offer for the children and water skiing for the adults. The sandy beaches are rarely completely crowded and, with Blue Flag status, you‘re guaranteed a family-friendly holiday. Calella’s beachfront is home to local Sardana dancing every Sunday evening during the summer, where you can soak up the festive atmosphere – if you’re planning a holiday here in mid-June, you can enjoy the annual Sardana fiesta on the beach!

In the resort you can wander around the charming narrow streets and white-washed houses of the old town, or choose from a whole host of Spanish restaurants offering superb Catalan dishes. With excellent transport links, a day trip to the architecturally impressive Barcelona to enjoy the shopping and sightseeing makes a great day out on your holiday. Calella’s famous festival of La Minerva in mid September is one of the biggest fiestas of the year, with its spectacular parade of paper mache giants.
