Calella The Mediterranean town of Calella is actually situated on the Costa Maresme (part of Barcelona's municipality), even though it is often more readily associated with the coastal resorts of the Costa Brava. It's background lies with the fishing trade, though today Calella is a modern package tourism resort with over three kilometres of spotlessly clean sandy beaches. The town is situated some 40 km south of Girona & 50 km north of Barcelona. With the arrival of the tourist trade came many hotel & apartment complexes, which were built along the seafront, with tour operators bringing tourists by the bus load in the summer months. To cope with the influx numerous cafes, restaurants, & bars also opened up, alongside modern retail outlets. Looking beyond Calella the surrounding countryside is an attraction in it's own right. This varied terrain is ideal for farming, while at the same time favoured amongst those who travel to the area to participate in adventure sports, from hiking & mountain biking to rock climbing & skiing. In more recent years Calella has expanded its resident community, with a steady influx of ex-pats arriving from other European countries & second home owners from other parts of Spain. However the town remains much smaller than many of it's coastal neighbors, & as such the identity & traditions of the people that live here are still very much alive. Many fiestas (or festivals) take place throughout the town calendar. The cuisine is another major bonus with affordable good food available everywhere, alongside middle to high end restaurants. The climate in Calella is (in the main) welcoming all year round. With average highs of 31°C during the summer months & 16°C in the winter, it is possible to enjoy an outdoor life at any time of the year. However be aware during the winter season low temperatures can be a good deal cooler than in Spain's southern regions.
