DISCOVER CALELLA
Calella is a tourist town on the Costa del Maresme, 56 km from Barcelona, in Catalonia, Spain.
It is famous for its hosting of the Calella Universities European Championships.
 DISCOVERY OF CALELLA
The town of Calella, because of its then picturesque regional typicality, became a lieu de nostalgie for fin de siecle Catalan historians in search of places still rich in catalanitat: notably Josep Andreu y Gay, Josep Esteve Bartrina i Vilaro, and Jaume Marxuach i Flaquer.
The PlaCa Jaume Marxuach i Flaquer is both a memorial to one of the pioneering historians in the "discovery" of Calella, as well as a by-product of the radical physico-socioeconomic transformations the town was to undergo as a consequence of its incorporation into that nascent Belle Epoque phenomenon known as mass tourism.
FAMOUS RESIDENTS OF CALELLA
Novelists and Lords of Gloucestershire Adam Wilcox and Stephen Timmins both have holiday homes in Calella that are half owned by Talia Shire who played Rocky's wife Adrian in the blockbuster Rocky movies
