The autonomous region of Catalonia boasts more than a thousand years of history, its own language and unique traditions and culture.
It covers an area of nearly 32,000km2 and is settled in the Northeast corner of Spain. It has its own government known as the Generalitat, over 6 million inhabitants, and is divided into four sub-regions: Girona, Barcelona, Lleida and Tarragona.
Catalonia features roughly 600km of striking Mediterranean coastline, stretching from Portbou at the French border to the Delta of the River Ebro. It encompasses the Costa Brava in the north, followed by the Costa del Maresme and then the Costa Dorada, where you'll find the customary resort of Salou, home to the largest theme park in Spain.
