Catalonia, one of Spain's autonomous communities, is located in north east Spain and is probably best known for it's capital, Barcelona. In addition, Catalonia features the popular Costa Brava, with ample beaches and mild climate, and often described as a first rate tourist attraction. Aside from the focus of the capital & the coast, Catalonia boasts high mountain ranges.
Catalonia has a very marked culture of its own, most evidently of Mediterranean tradition, and is distinguished of most other Spanish regions in several aspects, not at least by its language, Catalonian (although everybody speaks and understands Castilian Spanish perfectly). Certainly it is one of the most cosmopolitan places in Spain, thanks to its long tradition of international commerce. The coast offers ideal facilities for all sorts of water sports and artistically mixes the combination of beauty and nature with it's historical monuments and modern attractions. Catalonia's excellent gastronomy is characterized by seafood, rice dishes, wines of great international reputation and traditional desserts like the famous "Catalonian Cream". |
