Catalonia
Catalonia is a small country of six million inhabitants but it has more than a thousand years of history and a culture and language of its own which have forged a very distinct character.
Today Catalonia is an Autonomous Community within Spain an occupies an area of 31,930 square kilometers.
The people of Catalonia have always been open to the outside world. We love to welcome foreigners and show them our homeland. And we like them to feel at home among us. Perhaps that is why so many visit us. Every year millions of tourists flock to our seaside resorts without realizing that, a short distance from the sundrenched
Mediterranean beaches, there are places of artistic interest, historic buildings and landscapes which are equally well worth seeing. In this publication we woulkd like to give an overview of all these other attractions so as to make your visit an ever more pleasant and varied experience.
