Beyond the sublime and inescapable Barcelona, Catalonia is a veritable land of contrasts. Natural contrasts first, which allowed the sea and mountains to coexist harmoniously: from the steep shores of the Costa Brava to endless beaches of the end of the Costa Daurada, Catalan Pyrenees culminating 3 000 metres in the interior plains of the south-west. Cultural and artistic contrasts then, where all architectural styles were born over the two millennia of Catalan history: from Roman ruins to medieval villages, Cistercian monasteries in modernist and avant-garde monuments. Catalonia is also a highly rooted language and culture; it is a land of hospitality and generosity that will make you share its cultural, artistic or natural treasures. To discover the many facets of Catalonia while making an authentic immersion in the Catalan culture, nothing such as a trip organised live with a local agency! Indeed, it is true experts from the destination who will organise your tailor-made circuit in accordance with your wishes and budget.

The Living EnvironmentCatalonia and its capital have a geographical location with sea and mountain, Mediterranean vegetation and alpine species, winding coastal lanes and steep roads... A concentration of grandiose landscapes heated by a sun that does not take a holiday is what explains the attractiveness of this region for both the Spanish and Europeans: hiking or skiing in the hinterland, relax on the beaches or terrace sheltered from a palm tree, Catalonia fills all expectations. Imagine that in Barcelona you can go to the beach in two or three subway stations!Wealth of heritageIn Catalonia, the lesser village conceals architectural treasures loaded with history: castles, churches, cathedrals, monasteries, noble houses, fortified citadels... The number of UNESCO World Heritage Sites and Buildings is eloquent. To do nothing to miss these Catalan riches, organising a tailor-made circuit with a local agency is a good idea. Indeed, it is true experts from Catalonia who will organise your stay, including the inevitable, but also off-piste sites.A dream coastlineDestination queen of seaside holidays, the Costa Brava is so famous that it hides the rest of the Catalan maritime Facade. The beaches stretch along the coast, attracting a multitude of cosmopolitan visitors. Wild coves lined with pine trees or long, sandy, family, Bohemian and bohemian coves, whatever their nature and character, the beaches are complete in summer.
