Let me preface these discoveries by saying that I ended up in Calella haphazardly. It is not necessarily a town that I would generally recommend. It is not your traditional Spanish/Catalan dream destination. It very much looks like something the 70's spit out and no one ever bothered to clean up.

With that said, I freaking love this little freakish town, which I quickly & affectionately nicknamed "The Twilight Zone."

The strangest occurrences happened throughout the month, yes MONTH, I lived in Calella.

Apparently since the 70's, Calella, was a booming tourist destination for Western Europeans and the British. It has been on a massive decline over the past decade. What's left behind though are some fun Dutch and English/Irish pubs, a small welcoming expat community, and one of the most incredible beaches you will ever lay your eyes on.

Beautiful clean white sand for miles and crystal clear turquoise water. Parties & bars on the beach, some free concerts in the summer time and of course drinking it allowed as well.

If you happen to find yourself here, you must stop in at Beach Boys Club, tell the owners, Brian & Cathy, that Amber sent you. Then hit up Brian for his secret stash of American imported Budweiser (Did you know the bottled stuff is always produced in country? Brian believes the secrets in the water, so he gets the cans from the US. Brian is British, which makes this little story even better.)

Also, be prepared to eat a lot of rotisserie chicken.

"El apartamento está precioso y es muy cómodo. El problema es llegar a él ya que debes disponer de vehículo. Si no, como era nuestro caso, el apto se encuentra a 15 minutos caminando de la estación y no por terreno llano, así que debimos usar un taxi cada vez para ir y para volver. Tampoco tiene cerca un super o almacén donde comprar insumos.En resumen, es un apto para gente con vehículo o para gente joven que pueda caminar cargado por más de 15 minutos en camino complicado."

Mestral - Aparthotel with Swimming Pool

Vilassar de Mar

"It looks all very new and proper, the flat is roomy enough and very quiet. Nice terrace to chill, nice and clean pool. The best is the total black out: I like a baby! It would be great to have some more cutlery and dishes, in order to be able to fill up the dishwasher and still have things necessary. Maybe one better knife to cook. And fully salt and pepper shakers, it’s kind of not very handy to buy a whole package of salt and pepper for only a couple of days…. It’s inexpensive but...
