Catalonia

When we try to describe Catalonia to those who know nothing about us, we tell them we are home to the

sea and the mountain, a land that is ancient and avant-garde, a place of adventure and tranquillity, rural

and cosmopolitan, modern and old, active and calm, sweet and bitter, serious and joyful. What other place

on earth presents people with such a positive, quality offering of so many different things?

What it like

Catalonia

is home to the high

mountains and recalls the ancient history

of the Val d’Aran. It is the land of the inland

strength of Terres de Lleida. The vivid colours

of Costa del Garraf. The magical landscapes

of the Pirineus. The water horizons of Terres

de l’Ebre. The appealing nature of Costa

del Maresme. The cosmopolitan energy

of Barcelona. The shimmering beaches of

Costa Daurada. The Costa Brava , where

the mountain meets the sea. The historical

heritage of Catalunya Central.
