Catalonia is a small country of seven million inhabitants but it has more than a thousand years of history and a  culture and language of its own which have forged a very distinct character. 
Today Catalonia is an Autonomous Community within Spain an occupies an area of 31,930 square kilometers. 

The people of Catalonia have always been open to the outside world. We love to welcome foreigners and show  them our homeland. And we like them to feel at home among us. Perhaps that is why so many visit us.

Every  year millions of tourists flock to our seaside resorts without realizing that, a short distance from the sundrenched Mediterranean beaches. There are places of artistic interest, historic buildings and landscapes which are equally well worth seeing.
