• Catalan, Spanish, and the Aranese dialect of Occitan are the official languages of Catalonia.
• Catalonia is quite diverse topographically, offering a variety of landscapes for one to enjoy—from the Pyrenees peaks in the north to the warm-water Mediterranean beaches to low-lying dune-backed delta land in the south.
• This diversity in topography lends to an equally diverse climate across the region, but most visitors can expect 9 months of mild-weather activities, and the Mediterranean coastline is excellent to visit year-round.
• Catalonia is made up of four provinces: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona.
• Catalonia is a culturally-rich destination with a distinctive language and folklore, and heritage dating back to the late 8th century.
• Today, 30% of the natural land falls under some measure of protection here, and you can visit 18 natural parks, including one national park.
• Catalonia is also a foodie must. You are spoiled for good choices here with 54 Michelin Star restaurants, 37 gastronomic hotels, fresh farm food markets, and food foraging opportunities. We recommend you try: Tapas, pintxos, paella, and sangria.
• The region is also home to several year-round public festivals, allowing you to immerse in the culture, be it at an agriculture, music, art, or the day of the dead festival.
• Catalonia’s waters offer an impressive opportunity to indulge in everything from leisurely swimming to nautical activities to prawn-fishing with the locals.
• Aigüestortes and Sant Maurici National Park boasts 400 lakes within a 20 km east-to-west and 9 km north-to-south radius.
