Package holiday to Calella

Calella is the unofficial capital of the German Spain holiday and has been one of the most popular destinations for German tourists on the Costa del Maresme north of Barcelona since the 1960s. The lively seaside resort has developed over the decades from a simple beach village to a fully-fledged holiday destination that combines sun, beach, nightlife, and Catalan culture in a compact space. For German holidaymakers seeking sociability, beach life, and good value for money, Calella has been the top choice for generations.

The main beach of Calella stretches over two kilometers and offers fine, golden sand, crystal-clear Mediterranean waters, and a lively promenade with Chiringuitos (beach bars), restaurants, and shops. The beach gently slopes into the water, making it ideal for families and swimmers. South of the main beach are smaller, quieter coves protected by rocks, inviting for snorkeling.

The old town of Calella surprises with its Catalan charm. Narrow alleys, colorful facades, small squares, and the imposing church of Santa Maria create a delightful contrast to the tourist beach life. The lighthouse at the southern end of the town offers a spectacular view of the coast and is a magical place at sunset. Parc Dalmau, a shady pine park above the town, is Calella's green oasis with playgrounds, walking paths, and viewpoints.

What particularly distinguishes Calella is its proximity to Barcelona. In just one hour, you can reach Sants Station in the heart of the Catalan metropolis by regional train Rodalies and explore the Sagrada Familia, the Ramblas, and the Gothic Quarter before returning to the beach in Calella in the evening. This combination of affordable beach holiday and big city culture makes Calella unique.

From Germany, it takes just over two hours to fly to Barcelona, and from there it is only 50 kilometers to Calella. Package holidays are often surprisingly affordable and offer excellent value for money. The season runs from May to October, with the high season in July and August.

Calella particularly impresses with stunning beaches, excellent cuisine, first-class relaxation options. As a package holiday destination, you benefit from attractive all-inclusive packages with flights, hotels, and often transfers – all at a fixed price and fully secured.
