Catalonia
“Catalonia is not Spain” – a famous phrase in the region, epitomises locals’ nationalist character. Indeed, there has long been a drive towards Catalonia becoming independent: it has its own flag, language, government, culture and, above all, pride. This very distancing of itself from the rest of Spain is one of the things that make the region so interesting. After all, Spain is not just tortillas, bullfights and flamenco. In stressing what divides it from the rest of the country Catalonia sets itself apart, as a land that stretches from the Costa Brava to the Pyrenees that is diverse, unique and beautiful. From the fabulous Mediterranean beaches of Tossa de Mar to idyllic seaside villages such as Cadaqués. Not forgetting the natural beauty of the Ebro Delta, where you can spot flamingos and the sunset takes on a unique rosy hue, the medieval charm of Girona, the artistic heritage of Figueres – which harbours Salvador Dali’s greatest work – and of course cosmopolitan Barcelona.
