INTERNATIONAL FOLK DANCE FESTIVAL ''ALEGRÍA”
Calella - Spain
From 23 June till 30 June 2011
The 3rd International Folk Dance Festival “ALEGRIA” will be held in Calella
from 23 June - 30 June, 2012.
The Festival’s aim is to present the cultural tradition, to give an insight
into the folklore treasure from different countries and regions, and to provide
the opportunity for the members of groups preserving traditions from different
countries to get together and create long lasting friendships. Calella is
located in the Spanish region of Catalonia on the Costa Maresme, just 50
kilometers north of Barcelona. Calella with it’s location makes it a first-class
coastal destination awarded with the European quality Blue Flag - Calella beach
(length: 2180m, width: 65; fine white sand) - a spacious and popular beach, with
clear waters and moderate waves.
Barcelona is the capital, the most popular city of Catalonia and the second
largest city in Spain, with a population of 1,615,908 in 2008.
Barcelona Cathedral is the spectacular Church of the Holy Family (Templo
Expiatorio de la Sagrada Familia), designed by the Spanish architect Antoni
Gaudi. The building of the neo-Gothic cathedral was started in 1883 and Gaudi
became the official architect. Unfortunately, Gaudi died in an accident in 1926
and the cathedral remained unfinished. Construction work did start again in
1979, much based on Gaudi's original plans.
Aquarium Barcelona is placed in the Port Vell and has 35 different aquariums,
11.000 animals of 450 different species and an underwater tunnel of 80 meters.
The Camp Nou is a football stadium in Barcelona, Spain. It is a UEFA 5-star
rated stadium, and has hosted numerous international matches at senior level,
and UEFA Champions League finals, the most recent being in 1999.
There will be excursions organized by bus, visiting Barcelona with English
speaking guide for 4 hours, Barcelona Cathedral, Gaudi Park, Aquarium and
visiting of Nou Camp for the price of 30 euro per person.
Calella is rightfully proud of its rich and varied history. The city has scores
of beautifully-preserved buildings that can lend your event a touch of class.
During your free time the Organizer, on your request, can organize several
excursions, as the one mentioned above, or separate one to visit the top
