Calella de Palafrugell, Spain
Calella coast at Costa Brava
I have no idea what this street festival is called, it happened in July sometime, but I can say that these events happen all summer long in the streets of Calella, and many Spanish cities. You can't necessary expect them or plan for them, which adds to the fun of the surprise when one pops up on you. At this particular event drum circles came barreling down the promenade with people pushing these unusual parade-float like costumes of chickens and dragons. Once we reached the end of the promenade the chickens and dragons were lit on fire and danced in the street, no one was injured (too terribly, some sparks ruined on-lookers clothing and left a few small burns, nothing to cry about. I mean it is Spain after all, anything for a good party).

Very tired hotel. Room basic and sparse. The food was basic with not much variety. The dining room was very crowded at times with queues for food.

Calella Beach

If a restful vacation is part of your travel plans, Calella Beach might be the perfect place to seek out during your trip to Calella. Take some time to visit the spas in this family-friendly area.

Calella Beach
Beautiful clean white sand for miles and crystal clear turquoise water. Parties & bars on the beach, some free concerts in the summer time. You can hike up into the hill here, there are some old ruins up there, you can see peeking out from the trees in this photo. Apparently since the 70's, Calella, was a booming tourist destination for Western Europeans and the British. It has been on a massive decline over the past decade. What's left behind though are some fun Dutch and English/Irish pubs, a small welcoming expat community, and one of the most incredible beaches you will ever lay your eyes on. If you happen to find yourself here, you must stop in at Beach Boys Club, tell the owners, Brian & Cathy, that Amber sent you. Then hit up Brian for his secret stash of American imported Budweiser
