Travelers who have visited it at least once are attracted by Spain again and again. Calella is a small town considered to be a modern center of tourism in the resort area of \u200b\u200bthe Costa del Maresme and has already been mastered by Europeans who have come to love it. It is just opening up for our compatriots.

A bit of history

Scientists have established that the first human settlements on the site of modern Calella were already in the 1st century BC. e. The first mention of this small fishing village was found in documents dating back to the 12th century. From the XIV century, according to the Royal decision received by Viscount Bernat II of Cabrera, the construction of houses begins. In the 16th century, the central city square and streets such as Iglesia, Howar, Mar and Batllier were organized and formed. In the 18th century, the city of Calella (Spain) was famous for its silk and cotton fabrics, shipbuilding was also developed here. The Spanish Civil War of 1936-1939 led to the decline of both the textile and shipbuilding industries. As a tourist center, Calella began to develop only in the second half of the last century.

What and where in the town?

Just like the rest of Spain, Calella is ready to welcome tourists from any corner of the world. This small modern resort covers an area of \u200b\u200ba little more than 8 km 2, and about 16 thousand citizens live in it permanently. Most of them are employed in tourism and services. The peculiarity of this town is that the residential area is separated from the beaches by a railway running along the Mediterranean coastline, fenced with a special soundproof fence and equipped with many underground passages.

Tourists will find it interesting to stroll through the old town, on the cobbled streets of which Gothic buildings of the 16th - 17th centuries have been preserved. Like many centuries ago, the historical center is Vila Square, where trade was carried out already in the XIV century. Lovers of leisurely walks will like Carrer de I'Eglesia - the main pedestrian street, as well as the chic promenade Manuel Puigvert promenade, decorated with century-old plane trees, named after the mayor of Calella, under whom it was built. You can have a snack and rest after a walk in one of the many summer cafes on the central city street - Rambla de Capaspre.

Amid the bustling and crowded cities that Spain is famous for, Calella is quite quiet resort town for a calm, relaxed beach holiday... Its important advantage is that both Barcelona and Girona can be easily reached by train, covering a distance of 50 km.

Resort attractions

Despite the huge number of historical, architectural, cultural monuments that Spain is famous for, Calella attractions have their own, local, albeit not as well-advertised as the Barcelona buildings of Gaudi or the Arab Baths in Girona:

• the Iglesia de Santa Maria church;
• dalmau Municipal Tropical Park;
• city \u200b\u200bmuseum-archive;
• the ruins of Las Torrettas watchtowers;
• the lighthouse "El Far" over the rock of Roca Grossa;
• old, XVI century buildings, the chapel of St. Hualita;
• mansions Seville and Cassa del Salvador;
• house with cacti.

Let's talk a little more about some of them.

Church of St. Mary and St. Nicholas

This Catholic Church is one of the most visited attractions in the city of Calella (Spain).

Travelers' reviews about baroque architecture, about the external and internal decoration of this temple are mostly enthusiastic. On the site of the modern building, the first church was built already in the XIV century. Only in the first quarter of the 16th century, a religious building with one nave, two side chapels and a bell tower with a square base and an octagonal upper part began to be erected in its place.

Parc dalmau

Another great place for quiet walks and relaxed relaxation is the romantic and well-groomed Dalmau Park, located almost in the city center. The whole of Spain is not visible from it - the city of Calella, but even a little sea space. Oaks, various conifers, purple acacias and other Mediterranean shrubs make up its "core".

The central point of the entire Dalmau Park - Court of the Bear - is a specially equipped children's play area. Parc Dalmau regularly hosts a variety of cultural events, concerts of both amateur and professional bands.

City Museum

Lovers of history will remember their vacation in Calella (Spain) thanks to a visit to the Museum - Archive named after Juseppe M. Codin-i-Baghe located in the city center. It is located in a 17th century mansion and stores not only historical and archaeological artifacts, handicrafts of the local population, but also the most important documents of urban history.

Watchtowers Las Torretes

This is the name given to the picturesque ruins of signal structures built in the middle of the 19th century. Technological advances have made the complex and time-consuming system of signaling through flags and lights unnecessary. After the ubiquity of electricity, the towers were abandoned and fell into disrepair quite quickly.

Today, people climb to them in order to admire the surrounding landscape, since in clear weather the visibility is up to 30 km.

Old lighthouse

El Far is a still functioning lighthouse, which is the official symbol of Calella. It was erected in 1837. In addition to its direct function - giving signals to ships at night or in bad weather - he guarded the town from attacks by North African pirates. It is located so that it is perfectly visible from almost anywhere in the city.

Where to stay?

Both luxury lovers and budget travelers will be able to find a suitable accommodation option for themselves. Today their services are offered by the most diverse, as they say, for every taste, color and budget, hotels. Calella (Spain) invites travelers to stay both in three large campgrounds and in one of 15 boarding houses. The city has five 5-star and about 45 3- and 4-star hotels. As in any other resort, the cost of living in hotels of the first line, closest to the sea, is somewhat more expensive than in more distant ones. Accommodation in small private hostels or hotels will cost almost half the price of a hotel. But in that, and in another case, there are both pros and cons.

Beaches

But the main attraction in Calella (Spain) - reviews of tourists show - are golden sandy beaches. From the beginning of June to the end of September, it is the best time to relax on free municipal beaches that stretch along the entire city limits for four kilometers and have a well-organized infrastructure: bars, cafes, restaurants, discos, rental shops for various sports equipment, and a variety of water attractions.

The beach area is divided into the following sectors:

• Central - Playa de Gran - with equipped areas for playing beach sports, many discos and bars.
• Plaja de Garbi (Garbi), located in the Passo de las Rocas area, offers wonderful children's playgrounds during the day and foam parties and discos for young people in the evening.
• This sandy "paradise" ends with a rocky area with secluded coves, and Les Pogues Beach is a nudist beach, separated from the rest by a rock.
• Los Roces is a great place for connoisseurs of the beauty of the underwater world, where they can enjoy snorkelling or diving. This bay is somewhat remote and not easy to get to, but during the tourist season there are cozy restaurants and cafes here, and family trips on boats with a transparent bottom are organized.

Dalmau Park

A beautiful and well-kept park located on a hill near the city center. Until the XX century, the old estate of the Palau family was located here, after which the land was bought by the municipality of Calella. In 1928, the architect Geroni Martorell created a park on this site, which covers an area of \u200b\u200bmore than 18 hectares.

The park is planted with stone oaks, pines and tropical plants, between which there are rocky alleys and stairs on the ascents. There are many sculptures and monuments, a fountain, springs with drinking water, a playground. The park hosts festivals and concerts.

Museum-bomb shelter

In the Dalmau park there is an unusual museum - a bomb shelter. In 1936 and 1937 during civil war the Francoists, with the help of German and Italian aircraft, bombed civilians in Catalonia. During this time, many bomb shelters were built, one of which is in the park.

The bomb shelter has been preserved in the same form as during the raids. In the rocky tunnels, there are galleries with stands displaying photographs and documents. The museum is broadcasting on TV.

House with cacti

It is not known what the residents thought about when they planted cacti on the balcony of an unremarkable house. But time passed, and the house with cacti managed to stand out even among the old mansions of the city.

The concrete and glass building is literally woven into a single whole with different types of cactus. Today, a unique house is a highlight of the city, which attracts tourists and is known all over the world.

Museum of Tourism

This is the only Museum of Tourism in the world, many of whose exhibits were transferred by tourists from all over the world. The exhibits of the museum are rare documents, books, things, photographs, which can be used to trace the history and tradition of travel at different times.

There are old houses along the narrow street, looking at which you can get additional pleasure. In cafes and restaurants, seafood, meat and vegetables are fried right in front of tourists. Walk along the street Iglesia leaves a special impression, and is not at all like a banal shopping.

Town Hall Square

The historical center of Calella is concentrated around the square. The city hall is also located here in the building of the town hall. The town hall itself was built at the end of the 20th century by the project of the architect D. Monsoetta.

There are recreation areas, souvenir shops, cafes and restaurants on the square. Old buildings, some of which were built in the 14th century, give a special flavor to the square.

Library "Salvador de la Plaza"

The library is located in a 14th century mansion. The first mentions of the house are found in cadastral documents dated 1341. It is listed as "the house of Can Salvador". Historians believe that this is one of the very first buildings in Calella, in the details of which the special talent of architects can be traced. The building is significantly different from other buildings of its time.

Today you can admire the Gothic arch, decorated with windows, the remains of a hinged loophole for protection from pirates. The building has been restored, the entrance is open to everyone. Therefore, the mansion can also be viewed from the inside.

Manor "Kang Jiol"

The Galseron family mansion was built in 1430 in the late Gothic style. Many architectural elements have survived well: a semicircular arch, panoramic windows and stucco moldings. At the top of the building there is a loophole to protect the doors and the personal emblem.

The coat of arms depicts a shrub, which is called "galseran" in Catalan. This is the origin of the surname of the owners of the estate. In the Middle Ages, in front of the house there was an entrance to the city through the Rose gate, which was often raided by robbers.

Las Torretas Towers

The Las Torretas Towers are a 30-minute walk from the city on top of a picturesque mountain. They were built in 1857 to transmit optical signals with lights and colored flags to neighboring cities. The towers were built exclusively for peaceful purposes, with the development of the railway and the electric telegraph the need for them disappeared.

Today the towers are in a dilapidated state, but this does not diminish their grandeur. A commemorative plaque with a brief history of buildings is attached to the facade. Their location offers a magnificent view of the sea and the city.

Calella Municipal Archive Museum

In the museum, housed in an old 17th century mansion, you can learn about the fascinating history of Calella. The first settlements appeared here in the 1st century BC. e during the Roman Empire, and the city itself was founded in 1338. Therefore, the museum has a lot of interesting things.

Here you can see rare documents, paintings and photographs. Rare samples of precious stones and minerals, fabrics, knitted and woven products, amphorae, looms, household items are presented. All expositions tell about the development of crafts, life and historical events associated with this place.

Church of St. Mary

The history of the Catholic Church begins in 1564. The first building stood for almost 200 years, but collapsed due to the fall of the bell tower. Soon a new building was built according to the project of the architect D. Morrato, but it was burnt down during the civil war of the 1930s.

In 1951 the church was built and reopened. The new building copies the old building. It is a basilica, divided into several chapels, with a bell tower 42 meters high. The entrance is decorated with preserved sculptures of the 12 apostles, which were carved in the 16th century for the altar of the destroyed church.

Calella lighthouse

The old but active lighthouse is the symbol of Calella. It was built in 1837 on the Roca Grossa cliff. The lights of the coastal tower provided a landmark for fishing and merchant ships that often entered the city. In the 19th century, the cities of Catalonia were attacked by pirates, so the tower was also used as a watchtower.

Today, one of the lighthouse premises houses a small museum. Here you can get acquainted with the historical events that took place in this area since the construction of the lighthouse. The location of the lighthouse offers an incredible view of the sea, city, coastal rocks and forests.

Many tourists call the lighthouse "El Far". However, this is not the name of the tower, but just a translation of the word "lighthouse" from Spanish.

What sights can be seen in 1-2 days

Calella is a small town, so you can see most of the sights in one day. If you find it difficult to organize an excursion, you can contact the tourist center. It is located near the Town Hall Square.

It is better to start acquaintance with the city with the museum-archive, then the inspection of other historical places will be more meaningful. To do this, you need to get to the Town Hall Square. There are also the Church of St. Mary, the library "Salvador de la Plaza", the town hall of the city hall.

The most beautiful views in Calella - on the steep coast

Iglesia street departs from the square, during a walk along which you can see the house "Can Jiol", and if you turn into a side street - a house with cacti. You can end the day in the Dalmau park with a visit to the bomb shelter.

Barcelona is also within an hour's drive away, with its world famous attractions. In addition, I advise you to familiarize yourself with other resort towns on the Mediterranean coast of Spain, which, in addition to a beach holiday, have something to see. Leaving Calella south, bypassing Barcelona, \u200b\u200bstop at

On the Costa del Marismme, there is the wonderful resort town of Calella, ideal for a relaxing and active holiday. This resort is small in size. It covers an area of \u200b\u200bjust over 8 square kilometers. But at the same time, hotels, supermarkets, souvenir shops, restaurants, nightclubs and even several medical centers can easily fit on its compact territory - in a word, a full range of modern establishments that make tourists' rest comfortable and varied.

Benefits of staying in Calella

One of the main advantages of Calella is its convenient location on the Mediterranean coast, almost adjacent to Barcelona and Girona.. This factor is important especially for tourists planning a vacation with the whole family. After all, the majority of charter flights from Russia land at Barcelona airport, and from there it is only a 50-60 minute train ride and Calella opens up its beauty to tourists.

TOURIST REVIEWS:

Review helpful?

The cost of staying in Calella. July 2019.

tour cost

The tour was bought for 4 people: three adults and a child of 11 years old. The cost is 1721 euros with breakfast and dinner for 7 nights, but accommodation is on the "fortune" system, that is, how lucky: it should be a 3-star hotel, but we were not told the name. I was lucky to get to the "Olympic" - the rooms are modest, the food is gorgeous, to the beach - 10 minutes. We flew from Vilnius.

The hotel guide offered many excursions: to Tossa de Mar on a yacht (2 hours one way) + 4 hours - free time for sightseeing - 34 euros per person, but we refused. We went by train to Barcelona ourselves - for all 40 euros in both directions. They bought tickets for the T10 metro - 10 trips for 10 euros. We got to the Citadel park, looked outside the Sagrada Familia, walked through the Gothic quarter and the free part of Park Guell (chic park), saw Casa Batlló - everything is free.

We also went by train to Blanes (for all 20 euros in both directions), from there we went on foot to the castle of Sant Joana (free), as it turned out it was already Lloret de Mar, from there we went down to the Botanical Park - Marimurtra - 7 euros for person + 1 euro card (29 euro for all). It is very far to walk from the Blanes station to these attractions. There are no discounts for children. But going by train is a separate pleasure, because it goes along the sea - very beautiful views open up.

In Calella itself, we went to the lighthouse - free of charge, but, as it turned out, we were lucky to get there, it was decorated for a wedding, but in general it is always closed.

A very beautiful view opens from the signal tower - beyond Calella towards Barcelona - of course, also free.

Food and products

In cafes, a portion of paella costs 6-10 euros, depending on the cafe itself. Bought a pizza for 2 euros a serving (1/8 of a pizza). They didn't go to the cafe anymore, because next to the hotel there was a supermarket "Mercadona", where super prices were: buns for 0.1 euros, water 8 liters - 1.15 euros, wine - 2-4 euros, canned mussels, oysters - 3 euros, squid - 2 euros, chips "Pringles" - 1.82 euros, "Fanta" with juice - 1 for 1.5 liters. In other stores, prices for alcohol and drinks were 2 times higher.

The weather at that time was wonderful, the sun was hot in the afternoon with might and main, but in the morning and in the evening it was comfortable and cool. We stayed a five minute walk from the beach in a charming aparthotel where we decided to have breakfast and dinner. It was convenient, because in the afternoon we were going to visit the surroundings, go to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bwander around the local restaurants.

The beach in Calella is huge, sandy. You can swim and sunbathe along the entire strip. Another advantage of the town was the railway station right in the city center. From here one could get anywhere quickly and without problems.

Calella is full of restaurants, bars, shops, shops. You can spend the whole day quite calmly if you suddenly need to make purchases. In the evening in the town they organized some kind of show and celebration. The schedule of entertainment was handed to us immediately at the station in a small booth of the "Tourist Office". We had time to watch the habanera dance festival, listen to live music on the beach and visit the national lace exhibition.

So, sweet little town, we quite liked it, as it corresponded to the goals that we pursued at that time.

Family holiday

Although we did not go on vacation as a family, we had a company of six women with different needs. Some wanted to go swimming, some would go to a dance show, and some were wandering around the shops. Everything here had something to do. As for the kids, all the hotels have animation in the evening, including ours. There is a water park nearby, but we did not go there. The beach is suitable for everyone, in the morning it is cleaned thoroughly, so it is clean and pleasant.

What to take with you on vacation?

At this time of the year, it rains and winds sometimes. So, I definitely advise you to take a blouse or windbreaker. Also, for convenience, it's not bad to have a second swimsuit. Everything dries not so quickly in a humid climate, and sometimes you want to swim in the pool in the evening.

Where is the best place to stay?

Everything is close enough in Calella. We chose Aparthotel Miami Park. The most important thing was that these were not hotel rooms, but apartments, which was always convenient for us. We settled in an apartment with two bedrooms, living room, kitchen and terrace. The kitchen, however, was not used - only teapots. We had breakfast and dinner at the hotel. We dined somewhere on an excursion or in the city. The hotel has Russian-speaking staff, which will be convenient for those who do not speak foreign languages. There is a swimming pool, comfortable lounge, good internet.

How to entertain yourself at the resort?

We traveled from Calella twice to Barcelona, \u200b\u200bonce to Girona. In the town itself, you can just wander the streets, walk along the embankment, admire the lighthouse. An excursion train runs along the sea, the cost is 4 euros, the whole journey takes about an hour.

You should definitely go to Barcelona if you haven't been there yet. We have already been there, but anyway, we decided to walk through Park Guell again and get to Sagrada. Our must-see program is a trip to Boqueria, the oldest market in Barcelona. A walk along the Rambla is an integral part of a trip to Barcelona.

The beaches in Calella are clean, spacious and sandy. Equipped with showers, wooden flooring. There are sun loungers and umbrellas for a fee.

What can you buy?

The town is full of shops. We visited them with pleasure. Since this was already the end of the trip, they bought souvenirs, shoes, swimwear, bags, dresses, T-shirts.

About the prices of goods

Good quality shoes. You can buy very decent leather shoes. We bought sandals for 45 euros, bags for 18, souvenirs for 6, 8, 12 euros. A set of glasses - 8 euros. T-shirts - from 5 euros.

In the 1st century BC. on the territory of modern Spain (province of Barcelona) on the coast Mediterranean Sea a settlement appeared, whose inhabitants were engaged in the cultivation of grapes, wheat and the production of olive oil.

The mild maritime climate with temperatures above zero even on the most winter days confirms Spain's status as the sunniest country in Europe.

In summer, high temperatures (up to 40 ° C) smooth out the humidity of the sea breeze. Evergreen palms are side by side with pines, maples and orchids.

Lovers of comfort can pre-book a transfer from Barcelona to Calella de la Costa. A comfortable minibus will pick up tourists from terminals 1 and 2 of the airport and take them right to the doorstep.

Cuisine and restaurants

Almost all hotels in Calella provide catering for holidaymakers, unlike Barcelona. For lovers of independent food, there are many cafes and restaurants in the city. Here are some of the most interesting catering items:

1. La Quadra - an evening tavern with dancing and delicious dinner for 10 euros;
2. El Hogar Gallego - A seafood restaurant for the average wallet;
3. Sant Pau is a pretentious establishment for dear guests who don't mind shelling out 150 euros for dinner. Tables must be ordered in advance.
