The Catalonian region engulfs the famous Costa Brava and Costa Dorada. It encompasses the really long and winding stretch of coastline along with modern glass and concrete hotels, high-rise apartment buildings, and the smell of materialism and progress. Having gained the reputation as one of Europe’s playgrounds, Catalonia, welcomes close to 12 million tourists every year. The varied beaches and multitude of activities on offer are too tempting for holidaymakers to resist. With something to offer every visitor, Catalonia has now gathered reputation as being the hub for cultural and artistic movements and an impressive history. Its capital city, Barcelona is teeming with historical monuments and museums. Other major provinces in Catalonia are Girona, Lerida, and Tarragona.
