Catalonia holiday apartments, homes and villas

Why choose a holiday home in Catalonia?

Barcelona is a sophisticated, metropolitan city that reflects its long history of international trade. Virtually all people speak Catalonian in addition to perfect Castilian Spanish. The people of this region are noted for their devotion to their unique history and progressive participation in a shared future.

The cuisine enjoys a splendid international reputation by fans of succulent seafood courses, rice side dishes, and world-class wines. No one can escape this area without sampling Catalonia Cream with almonds.

Costa Brava extends its famous coastline coves and cliffs from north of Barcelona over the entire province of Girona. The Golden Coast, Costa Dorada, continues south of Costa Brava to Tarragona. This is considered the premier coastline of Spain.

Catalonia has retained their historic cities, monuments, and architecture while developing their destination beaches with attractions for today's tourist.

Figueres is the birthplace of Salvador Dali and the local museum houses a collection of his best known art. Can you imagine a place where you can visit the art of Dali and enjoy your favorite water sports?

In the mountain region of Catalonia is Lerida where you can wander around "Seo". A cathedral constructed in the 13th or 14th century. This is the perfect side trip for the art and history buffs that appreciate the Tomb of Scipios or monasteries of Santes Ceus and Santa Maria de Poblet in Tarragona.
