Guide to Catalonia (Cataluna) in Spain

 

 

Engulfing the well known Costa Brava and the Costa Dorada, with their stretches of sandy beaches and high-rise hotels, the region of Catalonia receives about 12 million visitors a year. Known as one of Europe's playgrounds, with a wide array of beaches for the holiday-maker and a mass of places to visit, Catalonia has something to offer every visitor. Tossa de Mar has long been a respectable seaside haunt. The region benefits from a mild climate and a culture all of its own. The cuisine of Catalonia is very much fish and rice based and has an international reputation.

   
The provinces of Catalonia are Barcelona, Girona, Lerida and Tarragona.
Barcelona is the cultural and industrial capital of Catalonia and is well worth a day or two visit. Pilgrims may go to Montserrat for its scenery and religious background, known as the religious centre of Catalonia.

Girona is a wonderful, historic city with much to see.

Tarragona was an important city of the Roman Empire and still has a wealth of monuments to see including aqueducts, amphitheatres and monasteries.
