Costa Rica is a wonderful country: between Pacific Ocean and Caribbean Sea, the most part of the country is green, so itīs also called: The American Switzerland. Itīs not only called because of the green landscape. Costa Rica is a quiet conutry: Costa Rica has not army since Josep Figueres, who was born in Catalonia, decided it. |
|  | NATURAL PARADISE Costa Rica is also a natural paradise. The impressives and volcanic ridges in the middle (cordillera de Talamanca, Poas...)
provide to the cloud forest the necessary humidity.There you can find the legendary Quetzal. In the east, the hot and wet caribbean forest, and the beaches were the turtles come every year. The west is famous because of its beaches and the waves where surfers come from all over the world. |

Actually Jose Figueres was born in San Ramon de Alajuela but his family was defenitely from Catalonia, supposedly from Figueres township but attempts to find relatives have not been succesful in the past (that I know of). Great page! | Andraf Tue Apr 5, 2005 16:42 UTC
