Question

Calella - anyone been this year - whats it like??? (pubs, clubs etc...)?

Answer 1

stayed here 4 years ago and have just come back again just this morning.

its a family place i think it has  lots of shops etc n nice little bars n cafes but i never found anywhere that was buzzing ie night life etc.

you can catch that train it takes approx 40 min s to reach barcelona and yes the beach is still the same,

i love costa brava but i guess it depends what you want from yr holiday

Answer 2

Have stayed twice in Calella & during July, this year, visited it again whilst staying in the next resort, Pineda.   You should find enough in the way of bars and clubs to keep you entertained, plus most hotels also have entertainment.   There are 4 or 5 well known clubs in the town (see the link below).

The beach is large, clean and has coarse grained sand.  About every 100 yards there is a beach restaurant/bar with toilets, and there are beach volleyball nets and various watersports.   Pleasure boats also come ashore if you wish to take a trip.

The train will take you to Barcelona for a ridiculous price of 6 euros & runs about every half hour.  If you wish to go to Lloret you can also catch the train to Blanes, and then a bus to Lloret.

If you like to shop, Calella has around 800 shops, many of which can be found in the long pedestrianised shopping precinct, Carrer de l'Esglesia.   There is also a large market on Saturdays.

You should find the holiday tourist guide "Calella" in most of the hotels.  It's a free publication and full of information.  If you have difficulty getting one go to the Tourist Infomation office, which is opposite Hotel Garbi on the seafront.

Have a great holiday.

Answer 3

Was there several years ago, it is very cramped, the beach is gritty and can only be reached by a tunnel under the railway, it is a good place if visiting Barcelona. Most of it closed end september till May.
