Places to visit
With the city of Barcelona just 50 kilometres from Calella, there is no excuse not to visit this historical, cultural and cosmopolitan city. 

If you want to get away from resort life then head to the Park Dalmau de Calella. This urban park is situated just outside of main Calella town. A wonderful green outdoor space, perfect for getting away from the hustle and bustle of town and beach life. 

All along the coastline you can visit both traditional and modern resorts. In particular we recommend the traditional destination of Sant Feliu de Guixols, Arenys de Mar and neighbouring Pineda de Mar.

For outdoor pursuits enthusiasts, the Montenegro National Park is just a short drive away. 

Calella Beaches
Calella boasts a three kilometre golden sand beach and although Calella can get quite crowded in the summer months, local organisations have made the beaches wide with over 50,000 square meters of sand and therefore they never feel crowded. They are also spotlessly clean and every day there are a host of activities organised for both adults and children.

Climate
Calella enjoys an agreeable Mediterranean climate with long warm summers tempered by cooling sea breezes, glorious mild autumn and spring days and winters that can be windy, wet, and suddenly sunny.
