The Mediterranean Dream: Plenty of Sun in Calella
The maritime climate makes a holiday home or private vacation rental in Calella a worthwhile destination for a relaxing stay all year round. Even during the winter months, the average maximum temperature rarely drops below 15 degrees. From June to September, the maximum temperature remains between 26 and 28 degrees on a monthly average. Perfect conditions for a
beach holiday on the Costa del Maresme are guaranteed. In the summer months, the water temperature off Calella reaches up to 25 degrees, and rainy days are very sparse.
Fish, Meat, and Vino: The Heart of Spanish Cuisine
Calella and its surroundings are not only a holiday paradise but also a culinary land of plenty during your vacation. The beautiful fishing town's menu is a meeting place: Sea and land meet here, as do Spain and the often secessionist region of Catalonia. The typical Catalan black rice, which gets its extraordinary color from squid ink, is served here. Another traditional dish in Catalonia is Suquet, a stew with potatoes and enriched with fish or seafood. Local cuisine is generally characterized by the fresh products from the Mediterranean, practically caught directly in front of your private holiday apartment. It's no wonder that the famous paella from
Valencia has been imported to Calella. But meat must not be missing from a genuinely Spanish restaurant menu either. The best regional meat comes from the
region around Girona. Whether fish or meat is on the plate, Catalan winemakers have created the perfect drop of wine to accompany it. After all, Catalonia is one of the country's best wine regions. There is no debate in Catalonia about which dessert should conclude an excellent meal - after all, Crema Catalana did not get its name for nothing.
Dream Beach Holiday with the Whole Family
With its 3.5-kilometer-long sandy beach directly adjacent to the town, Calella is an ideal destination for a
family holiday on the Costa del Maresme. There is more than enough space to splash, build sandcastles, and relax in the sun near your inexpensive holiday home with pool or vacation rental or apartment, for example in Calella de Palafrugell. For an impressive overview of the seaside town, take a walk with your family, and possibly your dog, up to the Calella lighthouse. You can also take a trip to Girona or hike through coves along the Costa or spend a relaxing day at Platja.
Relax by the sea, go out in Calella, experience Spanish culture
The original fishing village of Calella is - similar to
Lloret de Mar - a hotspot on the Catalan coast, such as Costa Brava and Costa del Maresme, which is very popular among German tourists. During the day, you can relax by the sea. The alleys of the old town, Casc Antic, invite you to stroll, take a leisurely walk and linger in one of the numerous cozy cafes. In the evening, the newer part of the town comes alive with nightlife. The cityscape of Calella has evolved positively in recent years. The ancient, quaint character of the town is more emphasized and protected, and hotel complexes are being scaled back. Furthermore, guests in Calella benefit from the proximity to Barcelona. Located just over 50 kilometers away from Calella, the exciting metropolis is home to Gaudi's buildings, including the world-famous Sagrada Familia and Parc Guell, which shape the cityscape. Numerous squares and the magnificent Las Ramblas boulevard make Barcelona shine. Art lovers can admire the works of the crazy surrealist painter Salvador Dalí in the Museu Dalí in Figueres, further north. Book accommodation, an apartment, a finca, or a holiday home directly on the beach or in the surrounding area for your vacation and visit numerous sights during your excursions with your family along the Mediterranean coast.
