Catalonia Holidays

Located in the north east of the Iberian peninsula, Catalonia – composed of Tarragona, Lleida, Girona and Barcelona – is a unique corner of Spain with a distinct identity and culture.

A diverse region, Catalonia includes the sandy shores of the Costa Brava and Costa Dorada, magnets for sun-seekers and beach-bound tourists, and the rugged valleys of the Pyrenees, home to some of the best slopes and ski resorts in Spain. The landscape is starkly beautiful, ranging from peaks of 3000m to the pancake flat wetlands of the Ebro delta. The valleys, home to hill top villages, lush vineyards and grand monasteries, offer some fantastic hiking trails.

Barcelona is the largest province of the area. Overlooked by the dramatic multi-peaked Monsterrat Mountain, it is a spectacular city, home to the beautifully ornate Gothic quarter and the wacky architecture of Gaudi. The medieval city of Girona, home to the eccentric artist Dalí, and historical Roman towns of Tarragona Lleida also brim with culture and history.

The sense of difference to other areas of Spain is strong in Catalonia. As well as speaking a different language, Catalan, they have distinct cuisines and traditions. Pan Tomaca – lightly toasted bread rubbed with olive oil and tomato – is a speciality of the region, and Ali-Oli sauce – though popular throughout Spain – originates in Catalonia.
