Catalonia in four words

Marlon Mßller’s book

Patriotism The first thing a foreigner notices when he comes to Catalonia is these yellow and red striped flags hanging everywhere. Catalans really feel different and if you look at the current political situation you will see that it is fighting hard for independence.

Barcelona Barcelona is not only the capital of Catalonia but also represents the whole country. The first thing foreigners relate to Barcelona is, of course, FC Barcelona, the football team whose players were once called Catalonia warriors.

Gastronomy Catalonia has a strange (but delicious) gastronomy, for example “pa amb tomàquet”, where you can also put everything you want, or snails that probably, out of Catalonia, nobody could understand.

Traditions In Catalonia we have lots of traditions, like Castellers, human towers and bastoners, people who dance using sticks. We have also giants, human representations who dance on our festival days.
