Calella celebrates the 10th edition of the Ironman

The city of Calella renews, one more year, for one of the most important triathlons in Europe

Calella is a very important tourist destination in the Maresme. Every year it welcomes thousands of people from all over the world who come to visit its beaches and culture. But, despite standing out for summer tourism, it is also a city with much renown in terms of sports tourism: come October, every year the Ironman is held, a triathlon of more than 220 kilometers that combines swimming, cycling and running, and annually attracts more than 3,000 participants from 80 different countries in the municipality.

The “Ironman” races are a series of triathlons that take place around the world. They are recognized worldwide because each year they are held on an intercontinental scale and you can find them in Asia, Africa, America, Europe and Oceania. Many European countries have Ironman races: France, Germany, Switzerland, Finland… And among the various locations chosen is Calella.

Calella has been a venue for Ironman triathlons for the last nine years and this 2024 celebrates its tenth edition: 10 consecutive years where thousands of triathletes have been part of this renowned sporting event. For this reason, more than a hundred elite athletes have wanted to be part of this race and this Sunday, October 6, will prepare to be part of the Ironman experience.

On the occasion of the celebration, Agustí Pérez, Ironman regional director for Italy, Spain and Portugal communicated that this year we could expect new changes in terms of the course and celebrations: “We are excited to celebrate this tenth birthday that comes loaded with surprises and changes. From the organization we have made a very big effort to change the cycling and running circuit and have a series of parallel events that athletes will enjoy a lot, such as the parade of flags or a new registration access with a square with DJ. We are expecting a great party for this celebration and we hope that everything goes very well.”

Ironman in Hotel Bernat II:

The triathlon will take place on Sunday, October 6, 2024, with a 17 hour time limit, and from Hotel Bernat II we would like to encourage all the athletes who have decided to stay with us for such an important event.

For this reason, we offer you all possible facilities. Athletes staying with us will be able to enjoy:

Keep your bike in our facilities

An evening of cinema in the open air

Calella Film Festival organises four film sessions on the beach during the month of August

This Thursday, 1 August, saw the launch of a new edition of the Calella Beach Festival, one of the summer traditions that has come to life in the town of Calella in recent years and which has caused a great sensation among the inhabitants of Calella. The festival, which was inaugurated in the summer of 2016, consists of an exhibition of films of various genres in the middle of Calella’s “Platja Gran”, where all its inhabitants can enjoy an evening at the cinema free of charge.

During these eight years of life, great cinema titles have been broadcasted, such as: La La Land, Annie, Knives Out or Yesterday; for the youngest, a wide range of films has also been offered, with films such as: Sing 2, Tadeo Jones 3 or Trolls. And this year, Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie” will be included in the catalogue.

This summer’s broadcasts will take place every Thursday in August, with the exception of the 29th, and are completely free of charge. All you have to do is bring your dinner and you can sit in the sand with your family, friends or companions and enjoy the experience.

Nits d'Estiu

Summer Nights succeed in Calella

The festival of music and live shows is back for another season in Calella.

June 28th saw the opening of a new edition of the NEC (Nits d’Estiu a Calella), the festival of music and live shows that accompanies the Calella town during the summer season and brings together some of the most important names in the Catalan music industry.

This is the fourth year of the Calella festival, which began its activity in 2021 and has continued its line-up uninterruptedly until 2024. The mayor of the city, Marc Buch, defined the cultural proposal with these words: “a complete experience that we can live in the fresh air of a summer night with the moon as an exceptional witness in the intimacy of an immensely small space such as the lighthouse of Calella”. The festival, which is held at night and in the open air, is the ideal place to enjoy live music, as well as the best views in the town of Calella, thanks to the location of the lighthouse.

The lighthouse of Calella has hosted during these four years some renowned artists such as Blaumut, Ginestà, Lágrimas de Sangre, Maria de Mar Bonet or Elena Gadel, and this year has made no exception and continues to bring singers who are on everyone’s lips: Guillem Gisbert, Manu Guix or Mónica Green.

Here is a list of the shows that will take place in August. Come and join the final push of this festival and live a musical experience in Calella!

List of the shows of “Nits d’Estiu a Calella”:

· Friday, 2 August (21:00h) · Calella Lighthouse
