playa-calella-barcelona-costa

The Maresme Coast has a large number of tourist attractions, but there is no doubt that the most important are its spacious beaches and beautiful coves.

Three beaches are the ones that make up the profile of Calella, each with different features and attractions for all types of bathers and visitors.

Once again this year they have received the Biosphere Sustainable distinction, the seal in recognition of good environmental practices within the framework of the objectives against climate change.

As well as the Safe Tourism Certified seal. All of them have free wifi access.

And as a novelty this year, smoking is prohibited in any of them, except for the beach clubs as a permitted area.

Les Roques Beach

750m long and 25m wide

It is the closest to the lighthouse and the Torretas. Surrounded by pine trees and rocks, with crystal clear water, it is one of the most beautiful beaches in the area. It has four coves: Rocapins, la Viñeta, la Roca Grossa and Cala d’en Pere, the latter being a nudist beach. There are also showers and a boulder climbing wall for the most daring.

Garbí Beach

814 m long and 72 m wide

A few metres from the Hotel Bernat II and where our beach restaurant Bahari Club is located, you will find this beach, which has been awarded every year with the ‘Q’ for tourist quality by the ICTE and with the Blue Flag of the Beaches of Europe, which guarantee the cleanliness of its waters and services for everyone.

A beach for everyone with children’s activities, disabled access, beach football, beach volleyball and basketball areas, and a floating park for the little ones.

It also has security and surveillance services provided by the Local Police and the Cruz Roja.

The Big Beach

1,500 m long and 72 m wide

Located in the heart of the city, and parallel to the Manuel Puigvert promenade, it is perfect to go with the family, with friends or as a couple, being the most dynamic beach with a wide range of activities during the summer.

It has special amphibious chairs, areas for beach sports such as football, volleyball or basketball, showers and security and surveillance services provided by the Local Police and the Cruz Roja.

It will be difficult not to visit them all, but if you still haven’t decided which one is your favourite, we give you all the detailed information HERE.

Finally, we leave you a small trailer of what could be the summer of your dreams in Calella, recorded in Playa de las Rocas

Do you know Flower Moments in Calella?

This weekend Calella celebrated the long-awaited Moments of Flowers, a recent tradition in our town that has already been taking place for several editions, filling the streets with colour, filling them with aromas and creating beautiful contrasts.

These are two very special days, since although during the rest of the year we can escape among the trees of Dalmau Park or be enraptured in Bruguera street with the flower gardens between buildings, during these two days we can also enjoy the balconies, terraces and gardens decorated by the neighbours who join the initiative.

On this occasion we have 48 hours to visit all the most emblematic corners, both public and private, which have been decorated for the occasion, and which exceptionally open their doors so that visitors can also enjoy these works of art, some temporary and some lasting.

With the help of gardeners, Calella’s florists and landscapers, more than 18 spaces in Calella are adorned with floral motifs. These are the spaces that have been visited in this year’s edition:

– Museum of Tourism

– Pia School

– Sant Quirze and Santa Julita Chapel

– Can Prat

– Courtyard and stairs of the Can Salvador de la Plaça Library

– Can Marrè

– Balconies of Can Saleta

– Balcony of the Old Town Hall

– Balcony of the Town Hall

– Church Square

– Balconies of Can Campaneria and Can Nualart

– Balcony of Can Basart

– Josep M. Codina i Bagué Municipal Archive Museum

– Lighthouse of Calella

– Can Borràs

– Dalmau Park and Muntanyeta area.

The Association of Traders of Calella also participates in this unique celebration by dressing up the shops with different flowers, decorations and colours.

If you enjoy celebrating important days with bouquets of flowers, if you take care of your plants as one of your most precious assets, or if you wait all year long for the ephemeral spring, you can’t miss these two days in Calella!

We leave you with a small tasting of what we have experienced this weekend.

Bus crossing frequency

From 0:00 to 5:00: every 20 minutes approx.

You will need to make a transfer

You will need to take 2 trains (R2 and R1). You will leave the airport (remember that from T2) with the R2 line. The journey from the airport to Barcelona-Sants takes about 20 minutes.

When you arrive in Barcelona-Sants, you will have to get off and transfer by taking the R1, which will take you to Calella. The connection is very good and fast, as it can be done within the same station (Barcelona Sants). You will only need to buy 1 ticket at the airport station and it will be enough to go to Calella. Along the way, you will enjoy the stunning sea views. The journey takes approximately 55 min – 1h.

Check schedules here.

When you arrive in Calella

When you arrive at Calella station, you have several options to get to the Hotel Bernat II. On the one hand, considering the fantastic train station location (in the city center), you can get there perfectly on foot (15-20 min). On the other hand, if you carry a lot of luggage, there is a taxi rank right outside the door.

Hotel Bernat II Blog, News no responses

Enjoy Calella and the Maresme area with your family.

Calella is, among the Costa de Barcelona towns with the Family Tourism Destination (DTF) seal, the largest and the one with more activities on offer for families with children. If you have kids, you are probably looking for a comfortable and safe destination to go on holiday where your children can stay constantly busy while the older ones can enjoy the peace that allows you to disconnect. Calella, then, is the ideal choice. It is a small town in the Maresme region located one hour away from Barcelona. It is very accessible, as it can be reached both by train, perfectly connected to all the cities in the area, and by car, as it has perfectly connected roads.

It is true that September begins, but … Who says that means that the summer is ending? In Calella we are lucky to enjoy a warm and temperate climate that allows us to continue enjoying the holidays and our beautiful beaches during the days of September. At the Hotel Bernat II, we love to take advantage of the summer until the last moment and we want you to do the same, the number of plans that can be done in our city is a lot and what better way to do them with the family to finish squeezing the holidays. To plan these sunny days before you start the routine, we give you a series of ideas of places to visit and activities to do so you don’t get bored for a moment.

NAVIGATE THROUGH THE CALELLA SEA

Enjoy a boat ride along the Costa de Calella with Dofí Jet Boats. This company has a regular line of maritime passenger transport authorized by the Generalitat de Catalunya and offers boat trips by sea to enjoy the coast of Barcelona via Calella. The route allows you to observe the long and wide beaches of golden sand to the mouth of the Tordera, the city of Blanes with the rock of Sa Palomera as the welcome door to the Costa Brava and the tourist area of Lloret de Mar. In its boats you can discover the beautiful fauna of the seabed thanks to the underwater view that will delight the little ones in the house. There is also a solarium, toilets, music and a bar. It is a practical and different way to visit the most beautiful villages on the Costa Brava: you can stroll through the botanical garden of Blanes, the beaches of Lloret de Mar and discover the medieval town of Tossa, declared a National Historic Artistic Monument.

You can take it from 09:00am to 17:00pm and you can check the schedules here. You can buy tickets both at the box office (which you will find at Garbí Beach, right in front of the Bahari Club, the Beach Club of the Hotel Bernat II) but we recommend you do so through the website, as this way you will be able to enjoy a 10% discount!

DISCOVER THE FLORA AND FAUNA OF THE CITY

From the Hotel Bernat II we invite you to discover the flora and fauna of a place that integrates in full harmony the sea and the mountain. These are short and easy routes that will allow you to get to know the city and its surroundings in a different way. In addition, we consider that during the month of September, it is an ideal time to make these small excursions, as the weather is not so hot and in addition, there are fewer tourists.

Squirrel Route at Calella

The Squirrel Route is a small route that is part of the nature itineraries of Calella. It is very well signposted along its route, with a squirrel on a red background. It has a length of 3km and a duration of 1 hour. It is a circular route so it will not be necessary to make a return trip.

It is a walk through Calella that begins in the Plaza de Sant Elm, follows the Platja Gran beach, goes up the streets of the village towards the Muntanyeta sports area, visits the Dalmau Park and returns to the beach passing by the Plaza de Spain. Dalmau Park is a magnificent natural space with gardens and an example of the typical Mediterranean forest with pine trees and holm oaks ideal for enjoying nature and rest.

Sea Crow Route

The Sea Crow Route is a small excursion that is part of the nature itineraries of Calella which is perfectly signposted along its route with a cormorant on a blue circle. Its difficulty is low-medium with a length of 3km and a duration of approximately 1 hour and a half.

It is a perfect walk that follows the seafront of Calella from Garbí beach to La Cabra beach, passing by Valldenguli and Torretes. This route allows us to observe the cormorants drying on the rocks and get to know the Mediterranean landscape full of bushes and pine forests where the birds hide.

Guilla Route

We present a small route that is part of the nature itineraries of Calella. This is the Guilla route, which has a medium-high difficulty with a length of 10km and a duration of 2h and 30 min. This is very well signposted along its route, as route number 3 with the symbol of a fox and a yellow background.

The route starts at Garbí beach, the beach where the Hotel Bernat II is located, and leaves behind the town of Calella to climb the Sierra de Guilles, a biological corridor that allows the connectivity of the Parc del Monte-gre and Corridor with the Mediterranean coast. The route goes through a typical Mediterranean landscape dominated by cork oak, siliceous bushes, crops and dry grasslands where animals such as squirrel, badger, genet and guilla abound, the mammal that gives the route its name.

HAVE FUN IN THE WATER PARKS CLOSE CALELLA

August is over, but this does not mean that the water parks are closed, in fact, it is the best time to go! There are far fewer queues and it will be much less hot while you wait for your session on the hilarious slides. All water parks are open until the 2nd half of September, it is the ideal way to say goodbye to summer with the whole family!

In Calella we are lucky to be close to 3 water parks, all ideal for the whole family and with attractions perfect for all ages:

Water world

The Lloret de Mar water park where you will enjoy a set of attractions aimed at both children and adults, you can find different attractions such as: wave pools, fast rivers, slides, kamikazes and the fantastic soft slopes. Considered the best park in Europe for its attractions and green areas of great natural and scenic value. In addition, the same water park can find restaurant service, creperies, picnic areas and pine forests.

The water park is open specifically until September 12 from 10:00 to 18:00.

To access the Water World from the Hotel Bernat II, the best way is by using the free bus service offered by the same water park. This passes through the gas station that is 2 min walk from our hotel.

It is important to bear in mind that the offers, promotions and invitations do not include the free bus service and therefore the price of the service will be € 5. Due to Covidien 19 the free bus service will currently be made under reservation: +34 972 368 613.

Marineland

Marineland Catalonia is a journey to the animal world, a journey among dolphins, sea lions, birds from the most exotic places on the planet … but it is also a journey full of adrenaline and excitement, with dizzying curves and turns, vertical falls and fun in every corner.

Hotel Bernat II News no responses

Enjoy a memorable romantic getaway in Calella

Any time is the perfect time to enjoy a unique and memorable romantic getaway. How about this weekend? It’s the perfect plan to surprise your partner, whether it’s to celebrate a special date or simply to give yourself a well-deserved treat. Living new experiences and discovering different destinations together is always a great way to get out of the routine.

It is very important to find the right place where you can relax as a couple, however, who does not feel like going to the sea, sunbathing in the sun and doing a good trip along the coast? This is why Calella is a perfect destination to make your getaway, which is only 45 minutes from Barcelona. As we mentioned in the previous post, in which we talked about ideal plans to do in Calella with the family, its exceptional location makes it a first-rate coastal destination. Its town center stretches for three kilometers, between the golden sand beaches and Montnegre. In the old part of Calella, you can discover its history and contemplate its Renaissance houses, one of its main treasures.

Calella, the tourist capital of the Costa del Maresme, hides magical corners to discover, it is full of surprises and activities for all kinds of couples, both for the quietest and for those who never stop. Calella has a wide range of leisure activities with bars, restaurants, shops, exhibitions, museums, excursions, adventure sports … You won’t know where to start! It is for this reason that Hotel Bernat II offers you the best ideas and tips to make the most of your getaway and have an unforgettable romantic weekend. With all these ideas, surprising your lover will be easier than ever!

Be captivated by the Calella Lighthouse

Located at the highest point of the Capaspre mountain, the lighthouse, becomes the symbol of the city for excellence and therefore, an obligatory stop on your getaway as a couple.

The views are simply spectacular! From there, you will be able to contemplate the city of Calella, the whole of the sea, the beach and the mountains of the Montnegre and Corredor natural park.

Any time of the day is ideal to go, however, the star moment par excellence is undoubtedly the sunset; when everything is calm, when there are no tourists and when you can enjoy the serenity of the sea accompanied by the sea breeze that scatters the purple and reddish tones of the sunset. In addition, during the months of July, August and September the Summer Nights festival is held, which is a double opportunity both to enjoy quality exhibitions and to take advantage of and visit the Lighthouse at night. This year’s proposal is completed with a wine and tapas tasting, enjoying music and gastronomy in the same space.

Another incentive to go to the Calella Lighthouse is that in the same building there is the Calella Lighthouse Interpretation Center with an interesting exhibition on communications.

To access, you can park your car just before arriving or you can walk from the city (10 min walk from Hotel Bernat II). Although the lighthouse is elevated to a peak, it is very easy to get there, the path is very light.

Enjoy Calella from the air doing Parasailing

If you want to add a bit of activity to your getaway, for the most daring ones we suggest you to do Parasailing. In Calella, thanks to its mild climate, it is possible to practice water sports and outdoor activities during all the seasons. Among the wide variety of possibilities offered by the Water Sports Center, which you can consult here, we highlight the Parasailing, you will enjoy a flight full of emotions, adrenaline and above all, privileged panoramic views of Calella.

The Water Sports Center, where you can also kayak or even go with jet skis, is located in the Platja Gran, which, as the name suggests, is the largest of the three beaches in the city counting with almost 1 km and a half in length. This beach, certified with the Blue Flag for the quality of its services, is located in the center of town. It has a car parking area along the entire beach and is also very close to the train station. The access to this beach on foot is easy as there are different steps adapted for people with reduced mobility. It is located less than 10 minutes walk from the Hotel Bernat II and offers many services.

Add some relaxation

At the end of the day, there is nothing more romantic and relaxing than focusing on each other with a soothing massage. You will feel a maximum well-being that will help you to balance your mind, body and soul. It will allow you to eliminate stress, relieve your body tension and to increase both physical and mental well-being.
