Today is supposed to be the last of the unusually nice weather that we've been enjoying in Barcelona. Starting tomorrow we are back to Barcelona's "winter" weather (for someone who grew up in the northeast, it's still hard to think of mid 40s are a particularly wintery day). But we took the chance to head up the coast again to the town of Calella. Calella is a relatively "new" town - only 650 years old! While in the summer it is home to huge crowds of tourists, the rest of the year it is a quiet, relaxed and laid back seaside town. The town incorporates elements from throughout its history from the 16th century chapels to the turn-of-the-century Llobet-Guri factory (in the photo), a classic example of the architecture and the importance of industry in Catalonia's revival.
