Catalonia

Catalonia :

Destination overview

The vibrant capital of Catalonia, Barcelona shines over the mythic Costa Brava coastline, composed of sandy beaches, wild creeks, and small fishing villages. You can find the mark of Gaudi all over this Catalan city, especially in parks, Gothic churches, and the surprising Sagrada Familia Cathedral, still under construction. The evenings lend to feria firework, tapas, and fiestas in the lively streets. You find another Spain on the Atlantic coast, from the Basque Country to Galicia via Cantabria: San Sébastien, Bilbao and its Guggenheim Museum, Santander and its bay, right up to the paths of Santiago de Compostela, below the sumptuous Picos de Europa (Peaks of Europe).
