8th Canta al mar – Festival Coral Internacional
Sing and Fun at the Mediterranean Sea
Set the stage for one of INTERKULTUR’s most popular events: Since 2012 the annual festival "Canta al mar – Festival Coral International" in Calella and Barcelona is a must-see attraction for many choirs from around the world.
Sunny weather, long sandy beaches, short walking-distances as well as sightseeing and performance opportunities in Barcelona with concerts and competitions in the world-renowned Cathedral and the nearby 15th century church Santa Maria del Pi, make this festival a unique experience for all participants.
Events like “Calella Sings” in the historic city center and the “Fiesta de la amistad” with the local delights “paella y sangría” as well as a huge choir party create extensive opportunities to meet the locals and to socialize with fellow singers from around the world.
Enjoy a happy and relaxed choir event on the Spanish Mediterranean Coast in a festival that beautifully combines holiday feeling and love for music in a perfect manner!

What is music for you? - Canta al mar 2012
Participating Groups
We are happy to welcome 34 choirs from 18 nations to the 8th Canta al mar!
Destination
3,5 kilometers of sandy beach, its location directly at the Mediterranean Sea and its proximity to Barcelona make Calella a popular European destination. During the choral festival singers can wonderfully make music, stroll and relax in the contemplative old town with its Catalan and Mediterranean charm.
Since its 650 years of history Calella has developed from a small fishing village into a favoured resort of all nations and age groups. This mixture of modernity, hospitality and Catalan traditions add a special touch to Calella and thus make it an appealing travel destination.
