Calella is ideal for road cycling because it has a wide variety of routes and there are several shops in the town for cyclists. 

There are routes that take the cyclist through the Maresme towards Barcelona, to the plains of the Empordà region, around Girona or the Montseny mountains, as well as for a spot of pedalling along the beach.

Cycling

The Montnegre i el Corredor Natural Park, a few kilometres from Calella, is an excellent natural area full of paths for mountain biking through a bucolic landscape. The park offers more than 90km of BTT routes for all levels, although the more you get into Montnegre i el Corredor Natural Park, the more you will find bigger gradients. 

Calella is the starting and finishing point of 8 cycle routes with different distances, different levels and difficulty ranging from 51 to 151 km. The routes connect towns, like the route from Calella to Canet de Mar and Tordera, the one that goes to Tossa de Mar or Santa Fe del Montseny, the one that goes to Santuario del Corredor or through the ports of Maresme up to the 2013 Calella Half Challenge route and Turó de l'Home.

Calella is an ideal destination for Nordic Walking and the first municipality in Spain approved to practice this sport.

There are different themed itineraries but one of the most outstanding is the so-called "Camí del mar". This route, which is almost 8 km long, is very popular because almost the entire route runs along a flat sandy track along the beach and the sea, where there are sections of shade trees that are on the route. And every 500m there is a fitpoint indicating the mileage in addition to a physical training station.
