Major attractions:
Barcelona
Catalonia's capital, located at the Mediterranean Sea, offers
the structures of a true metropole. Among its most outstanding
sights are the Gothic quarter and the works of the architect
Antoni Gaudi
Costa Brava
Certainly one of the most famous Spanish coasts, stretching
from the north of Barcelona over the province of Girona. It
is of great natural beauty, with steep cliffs and romantic
small coves.
Girona
A beautiful historic city with the old Jewish Quarter among
its major sights.
Figueres
The birthplace of great painter Salvador Dali. Its main attraction
is of course the museum dedicated to the artist, showing a
collection of some of his finest works.
Costa Dorada
The Golden Coast, stretching from south of Costa Brava to
Tarragona, offers apart from its great beaches and beautiful
landscapes towns of outstanding beauty, such as Arenys del
Mar, Sitges (with the highly interesting museum of Cau Ferrat)
and Castelldefels.
Tarragona
An important city of the Roman empire, still preserving outstanding
monuments: the aquaeductus, an amphitheater and the Tomb of
the Scipios, located at the seaside. Close to Tarragona there
are the monasteries Santes Creus and Santa Maria de Poblet,
both of high historic-artistic interest.
Lleida (Lerida)
Located inland in a mountainous area. Most interesting is
its cathedral, "Seo", built between 12th and 15th
century.
