A spring exhibition in the streets of the town
Calella is a town that knows how to win hearts. With a calendar full of cultural activities, festivals and events for all tastes, spring becomes one of the most special times to discover it. In May, nature takes center stage and the streets fill with color, scents and creativity with the celebration of Moments de Flors, one of the most beloved spring events of the year.
What is Moments de Flors?
Moments de Flors is the successor of the classic Roses Exhibition Contest of Catalonia and is part of Calella’s commitment to urban decoration with plants and flowers. As a “Vila Florida” (Flowering Town), recognized by the Ornamental Horticulture Confederation of Catalonia (CHOC), Calella highlights the care of green spaces and love for its environment.
For one weekend, balconies, courtyards, gardens and emblematic corners are adorned with floral decorations created by local artists and florists. The event transforms the city into a large open-air garden, offering a unique opportunity to visit public and private spaces that are often not open to the public.
A floral trail full of discoveries
From 30 May to 7 June 2026, visitors will be able to follow a route taking in more than 20 decorated locations across the city. With a map in hand, the floral trail leads visitors to discover historic façades such as those of Can Quadras, Can Borràs and Can Saula.
Opening hours for the interior spaces are:
- Saturday 30 May: 5 pm to 9 pm
- Sunday 31 May: 10 am to 2 pm and 5 pm to 9 pm
Entry is free and you can check the locations of the decorated spaces below:
