CATALUNYA
Situated in the shelter of the Pyreneés this region borders on the Mediterranean and occupies the north-eastern part of Spain.
Catalunya has a very varied landscape; to the north and east it is green, wooded and well irrigated, due to the watershed of its many rivers. The coast to the north is rocky, dividing into bays and coves, flattening out further south to form miles of sandy beaches.
Inland more arid conditions prevail and the winters are colder.
It is indeed a region of great contrast.
Catalunya has been a land of changing cultures for 3,000
years; the ancient Greeks were unable to resist the beauty of the Emporda coast and the agricultural potential of its wide, fertile valleys. The Romans coveted this jewel of the Greek empire and built a great city of their own on the Greek original at Empurias. It was not until 1978 that the Catalan parliament finally gained full autonomy. Catalunya is the official language of this region; you will also find that local people speak Spanish, and their own particular version of French.
