The only Capital at Europe's Mediterranean coast

by lotharlerch - last update: Jul 11, 2008

What does a dragon with an umbrella?
You wonder that I call Barcelona a Capital city? It is indeed a Capital, the one of Catalunya - and it was earlier a Capital than Madrid. And Catalunya is not soo small. There are at least 9 member states of the European Union smaller than Catalunya at least with respect to their number of inhabitants - and Catalan, the largest minority language in Europe, has more native speakers than 8 official languages of the EU.

we all live in a yellow submarine....

...maybe the Beatles got some inspiration here...

 La Boqueria will be one of my stops after my, hopefully successful, Camino Frances ;-)))

 Thanks Lothar for your Barcelona, Catalunia and Montserrat pages. I quite agree with you that Barcelona looks more capital then Madrid. It has something inexplicable that makes you feel happy...
