Catalunya is in front of the Mediterranean sea and France, in the north of Spain.

Catalunya has its own language, "català" (katalanska). Around 7,5 million people live here, it is a nice expression of different cultures; integration and constant expression of forum of people from all over the world; like their old tradition.

Catalunya was the entrance of the Roman Imperium. Tarragona, in the south of Barcelona, was the second most important city after Rome.  

The capital of Catalunya is B A R C E L O N A, one of the most beautiful Cities in the world. Here is some more official information and I invite you to click some nice links, and to enjoy it :
