Catalonia is a land of more than two thousand years of history, tradition and culture. A land at the leading edge which is eager to offer you hospitality and an unforgettable stay. A land with beautiful scenery, rich cultural heritage and, above all, open-minded, enterprising people. A land of industry and technology; a land of art, fashion and design; a land of nature and sports; a land of gastromony and entertainment, a land for all.
It is a country of communication, exchange and entrepreneurship, a welcoming and hospitable nation with a long tradition of openness to the outside world. Catalan culture is both national and cosmopolitan. Catalonia has traditionally been receptive to new currents of art and thought.
With over seven million inhabitants and an area of 31,980 km2, Catalonia basks in a privileged, temperate, Mediterranean climate all year round.
The thriving Catalan economy has always made the country a pole of attraction, a land that looks outwards, beyond its borders, towards the horizon.
Tourism is one of the most important economical activities in Catalonia. Catalonia is a “multi-offer” destination: sea, mountains, cities, business tourism, golf, culture, luxury, shopping, rest and relaxation, wellness... and more, to provide with the best possible experience in a pleasant and peaceful environment.
