Calella is a seaside town in the province of Maresme, in Catalonia, Spain. It is one of the towns along the Costa del Maresme. Calella covers 8 sq km (3.09 sq mi) and has a population of 18,000 people (2012 estimate).

There is nothing much in terms of cultural attractions in Calella. The town is more popular for its beach than anything else. It does have a lighthouse built in 1859 on the southwestern part of town. Its beach holds a Blue Flag, the top level by European standard. It is about 2 km in length and is the major draw.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.

To get to know me better, do follow me on Facebook!
