You won't be disappointed. The three kilometers of sand along the town's waterfront offer a range of activities from windsurfing to sea kayaking.<\/p>\n<p>During the summer months, all the town's activity seems to shift to the seafront, so the beaches are always lively, albeit with 50,000 m\u00b2 of sand, <strong>rarely overcrowded.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you have teenagers, they'll be delighted to discover the sports complex and water sports club. These facilities offer sailing, windsurfing, canoeing and kayaking. <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/kayak-barcelona\/\">kayak<\/a> and pedal boats, as well as soccer, volleyball and even aerobics on the sand.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/que-faire-a-calella.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-2118\" src=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/que-faire-a-calella-1024x493.jpg\" alt=\"what to do in calella\" width=\"1024\" height=\"493\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/que-faire-a-calella-1024x493.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/que-faire-a-calella-300x144.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/que-faire-a-calella-768x369.jpg 768w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/que-faire-a-calella-1536x739.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/que-faire-a-calella.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Enjoy beach activities and time for refreshments<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The children's favorite stretch of sand is Platja Gran Calella, thanks to the two rafts anchored 100 m from the shore with their own slides. This is the town's main beach. It runs 1,430 meters long and 60 meters wide along the coast. In summer, it's a sea of parasols, <strong>with over 1,000 available for rental.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In addition to several temporary snack bars that set up shop during the summer months, there's a restaurant and a beach club for relaxing, as well as a shady park.<\/p>\n<p>Another great beach is Garbi. Separated from the town by a railroad line and accessible only via the many underpasses, Garbi is often quieter than Gran Calella and is served by its own selection of temporary bars, <strong>so that bathers can purchase snacks and refreshments<\/strong> without having to return to the city.<\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc126893855\"><\/a><strong>What to do in Calella: what to do after your swim<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The first thing to do when you arrive in Calella is to <strong>consult your local tourist office<\/strong> to see if there are any parties during your stay. Spaniards really know how to party, and these parties tend to bring whole communities together with dancing and music on every corner. It's something you'll never forget.<\/p>\n<p>If you love shopping, why not explore Carrer de l'Essglesia, the city's main shopping street. You'll also find a museum that traces <strong>the town's history from pre-Roman times to the present day<\/strong>. There's also a shopping mall with over 400 boutiques, which should satisfy even the most dedicated shopaholic.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, you'll discover Torretes de Calella, a XIX\u1d49 century tower now in ruins used for signage. This was once a defense tower used <strong>to repel pirate invasions.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc126893856\"><\/a><strong>What else can you do in a day in Calella?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>If you only want to spend a day there, why not take the family to the coast to enjoy the city's Barcelona-inspired architecture?<\/p>\n<p>You can also make the short trip to <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/lloret-de-mar-beach\/\">Lloret de Mar<\/a> to spend the day in the vast Water World park or travel to the <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/portaventura\/\">PortAventura<\/a>, <strong>a huge theme park with six different \"worlds\" to explore.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc126893857\"><\/a><strong>How do I get to Calella?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Just off the coast of Barcelona, Calella couldn't be easier to reach. From <a href=\"https:\/\/bonjourbarcelone.fr\/en\/barcelona-airport\/\">Barcelona airport<\/a>You can use the various means of public transport at your disposal.<\/p>\n<p>Whichever airport you choose, you can get to Calella by booking a private car. If you have a lot of luggage, this may be the simplest choice. Conversely, if you're traveling light, you'll find <strong>numerous buses from Barcelona to Calella.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><a name=\"_Toc126893858\"><\/a><strong>Where to stay during your stay in Calella?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>One of my favorite local hotels is the Bon Rep\u00f2s. A good hotel with a great family atmosphere, the Bon Rep\u00f2s is just a five-minute walk from the beach. You can take advantage of the various facilities, such as the two swimming pools and, of course, <strong>free WiFi throughout the hotel.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you want something more luxurious, you'll spend your vacation at the Medplaya Hotel Santa Monica. The Medplaya Hotel Santa Monica is an excellent choice for families. In fact, there's a games room on the first floor with pool table and table tennis for you to relax in, as well as two swimming pools. The hotel is <strong>just a two-minute walk from the beach<\/strong> and all rooms have a balcony.<\/p>\n<p>Now you know more about Calella. On a trip to Barcelona, if you need to get away from the crowds of the big city, Calella is the place to go, <strong>I recommend you visit this exceptional place!<\/strong><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Que faire \u00e0 la station baln\u00e9aire de Calella\u2009?
