Things Catalan: Catalunya (Catalonia)
  • Tip Rating:
  • Barcelona and Girona belong to Catalunya. The locals speak catalan which is very close to spanish. Catalan in all its variants is spoken over an area with a population of 10 million people.
    Catalunya has its own flag called Senyera. It shows four red bars alternating with five yellow ones, all of the same width.
    Since 1980 september 11th is declared as the Catalan national holiday.

     Great page on Barcelona Holger. The Arc de Triomf is especially beautiful as is the Plaza Espana. I also enjoy cities where you can easily walk to see the main attractions.
