One of the most popular coastal regions in Spain, a country which in turn is Britain's number one holiday destination, Catalonia has much to offer. Rich in natural resources and spectacular scenery - the beaches of the Costa Brava, mountains, lakes and forests, wildlife, National Park of Aiguestortes.

The fabulous city of Barcelona with its long artistic tradition - Miro, Tapies, Gaudi. A fierce pride in the Catalan regional heritage and culture - the Catalan language merits its own newspapers and editions of books.
