in Catalonia
Autonomous
region situated in the North East of Spain. It consists of four provinces
with a population of about 6 million inhabitants.
As it is a small area, the sea and the mountains are quite near and they
make beautiful scenary.
Catalonia has got two official languages, Catalan and Spanish, which coexist
at the same time. Whereas Catalan is spoken everywhere in villages, towns
and small cities, people speak Spanish basically in big cities.
A land rich in culture and healthy gastronomy, much folklore and traditions,
lively streets and non-stop parties with a wide range of leisure time.
This is the land of many international famous Catalan artists such as
Gaudí, Dalí, Miró, Tàpies... as well as Catalan
writers like Àusias March, Salvador Espriu, Mercè Rodoreda,
Miquel Martí i Pol, etc.
This is the chance of a lifetime! |
