Assalamualaikum
Catalunya is Spain’s northeastern province probably most famous for the ultra-hip city of Barcelona. But in a region with nearly eight million people, Catalunya has a lot more to offer than just beaches and Barcelona’s legendary nightlife.
You can definitely see the Catalans are passionate about their home and their region. With golden sand beaches, snowy mountains and wine-producing valleys, it’s easy to see why: Catalunya is simply…amazing!
Barcelona is famous for its quirky architecture. This building, in the style of Orientalism has umbrellas pinned to the side of it. Quirky? Yes. But just par for the course in Barcelona!
The beautiful Casa Amattler, it’s a Modernist building and it’s absolutely stunning. Just look at the details!
The Catalans take food very seriously. Barcelona’s La Boqueria market is filled with tasty treats and fresh vegetables. But if you escape Barcelona for a few days, you’ll find the food even fresher in the Catalan countryside.
Catalunya’s lush countryside is home to many wineries and farms. Agri-tourism is quite the trend at the moment and it’s no surprise that Catalunya can offer up quite a bit.
It’s not just the people that find the food in Catalunya so delicious—the vultures like it too!
One of the local Catalan food specialties is the calçot. A green onion cooked on a wood-fire grill, the calçot is only available in the Springtime. With its complementary Romescu sauce it’s a definite must-eat for any foodie!
And we’ll just end this with a pretty poppy flower from a Catalan field of green =D
