Pet-friendly walks and places in Calella

In Calella de Mar, tourism goes hand in hand with our four-legged companions. More and more families and couples choose to travel with their dogs or cats, seeking destinations that don’t just allow pets but offer spaces designed to share meaningful experiences. At the Hotel Internacional, we’ve put together routes and areas where your furry friend can run, sniff and explore the Mediterranean by your side.

This iconic, tree-lined promenade along the coast is ideal for morning or evening walks. It boasts wide pavements, shaded benches and direct beach access, making it the perfect place to start your day with your pet.

• Low footfall during mid-season.
• Fountains along the route to keep your pet hydrated.
• Green, fresh surroundings with palms and coastal vegetation.

Just a 10-minute walk from the hotel, you’ll find the dedicated dog beach. This stretch of coastline features a fenced-off area, clear signage and special showers to rinse your dog after a swim.
