Playa Badalona Info, Catalonia

Barcelona has transformed itself from smug backwater into one of the most dynamic and stylish capitals in the world. Summer is serious party time, with week-long festa fun. But year-round the city sizzles - it's always on the biting edge of architecture, food, fashion, style, music and good times. Barcelona's enviable position between the mountains and the sea ensures year-round outdoor fun.

Calella is one of the three resort towns close to the local market town of Palafrugell. The others are Tamariu and Llafranc. Calella is the largest of them.
