If you're thinking of ditching the dreary office for Costa Brava holidays this year, why not consider travelling to Calella? This sunny, scenic area is home to incredible beaches and a quaint old town perfect for recharging your batteries. Indeed, you'll find that this could well be the ideal spot for a variety of holidays in 2011. With family-friendly beaches, plenty of exhilarating water sports and fascinating architecture, Calella offers something for everyone. Perhaps one of the most appealing features of this Costa Brava destination is its three-km stretch of beach, which is uncrowded and holds blue flag status. So, if you're taking a holiday with your little ones, you can rest assured you will be in a family-friendly environment. And as well as being picturesque, Calella's stretches of sun, sand and sea are also home to a variety of sports - such as water skiing - as well as games for children. Meanwhile, if you're enjoying the view on a summer Sunday evening, you will be able to watch Sardana dancers in action on the sand. And should you visit in mid-June, you will find a Sardana festival takes place on the beach - something that is sure to be a memorable aspect of your break. Of course, there is plenty to explore aside from the beach. The old town is a sheer delight, with picturesque cobbled streets and excellent shopping. For the very best selection of stores, head to Carrer de l'Esglesia for a street packed with all kinds of vendors. And if shopping is a particular passion of yours, why not take a day trip to nearby Barcelona? You will also be able to soak up some of its cultural attractions while you're there. But there is plenty else to be seen in Calella itself. If you're interested in architecture, visit the Santa Maria church. Boasting a lovely baroque entrance, it is surrounded by statues depicting the 12 apostles. And a little further afield you can see the local lighthouse, which dates back to 1859. Amid your explorations, make sure you stop in at one of the many excellent tapas bars to sample the delicious cuisine before heading home. If you're looking for Costa Brava holidays, why not escape the office with a trip to Calella? This beautiful destination has a great range of beaches and activities on offer.
