Calella Tourist / Tourism The Mediterranean town of Calella is a modern package tourism resort with over three kilometres of spotlessly clean sandy beaches. The town 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. The arrival of the tourist trade in the 1950's brought many hotel & apartment complexes, which were built along the seafront. Tour operators soon started bringing in tourists by the bus load in the summer months. To cope with this influx numerous cafes, restaurants, & bars also opened up, alongside modern retail outlets; signifying the end of the fishing trade as the principal contributor to the town economy. Looking beyond Calella the surrounding countryside is an attraction in it's own right, as it is favoured amongst those who travel to the area to participate in adventure sports (from hiking & mountain biking to rock climbing & skiing). In more recent times residential tourism has had an impact, 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.
