History

[separator top=”-10″] The history of Catalonia began around 900 AD, when Wilfred the Hairy broke away from the Frankish kings and gave way to the origin of the House of Barcelona. Since then, it has had a spotty history, from a maritime empire to having foreign kings pumping cannonballs over its capital. But the tenacity of Catalans has proven resilient and it has once more emerged during the last century to become a reference point in Europe.

Art & Culture

[separator top=”-10″] Catalan culture has developed its own unique and universal identity over the centuries. The innovative flair, creativity, capacity to absorb different influences, co-existence and tolerance values have shaped a culture that is both national and cosmopolitan. Catalonia has a significant number of UNESCO World Heritage distinctions which reflect the passion in which Catalans embrace their culture and identity.

Food & Wine

[separator top=”-10″] We believe the best times of all are shared over a great bottle of wine and delicious regional food. Our food and wines are one of the highest qualities that can be found in Europe, as Catalonia has become a world leader in gastronomy. Our secret is in the quality and uniqueness of the products used, plus the combination of what is offered by the land and the sea. In addition to its many restaurants of all kinds, Catalonia has a network of public markets where product quality is paramount. [/fusion_builder_column_inner]

Family and Fun

[separator top=”-10″] More than half of travelers visiting Catalonia are families. Catalonia is a warm and welcoming Mediterranean country and the notion of family has a deep-rooted importance in our culture. There are lots of activities that you can do with your family: from hiking into breathtaking forests and mountains, to fun beach days in the picturesque coastal towns, to experiencing a Festa Major -the most important festival of each town/city in which tradition, folk and entertainment merge.

Sefarad

[separator top=”-10″] Archaeological findings point to evidence of a Jewish community in Catalonia as early as Roman times, though the first document referring to Jews in Barcelona itself is from the 10th Century. By the 14th Century, its main cities Barcelona and Girona were a vibrant multicultural mix of Jews, Christians, Arab traders, and immigrants from all over the Mediterranean.
