Costa Brava Towns
Weather
As you would expect from this part of the word, Calella basks in a coastal Mediterranean climate, ensuring year-round mild temperatures. Autumn and spring enjoy cooler weather, or come in July and August for summer at its hottest. The weather is perfect for Calella holidays no matter what time of year you visit. East is ideal for golf, summer is excellent for sun tanning while Autumn is an ideal time for an offpeak holiday in Calella. Just don’t forget to slap on that high-factor sunscreen!
Attractions
Explore the old town with its narrow streets, traditional bars and bodegas. The parish church of Santa Maria is beautiful, as is the 14th Century Casa dels Salvadors. The town’s museum charts local history from pre-Roman times, and, to the south-west, you can see the ruins of some old communications towers built in the mid-19th Century, and the old lighthouse.
Stroll through the lovely Dalmau Park, a peaceful spot in the heart of Calella, with Mediterranean pinewoods, fountains and play areas. Getting around couldn’t be easier – just jump on the tourist mini-train circling the town every half-hour in high season.
Further afield, Barcelona and all it has to offer are less than an hour away by the regular train service.
Nightlife
Calella has dozens of late-night bars, making for a lively after-dark scene, with a host of Spanish-style fiestas, foam parties and hotel entertainment. For all-night partying, head for the south-west of the resort, where the clubs are. You can even grab a free limousine ride to travel between some of them. For tapas and traditional Catalan specialities, head for the old town.
Nearby Malgrat de Mar and Blanes offer a different atmosphere at night and are both worth a visit during your holidays to Calella.
