Travel means culture

For you, travelling means culture. You know that culture makes each people unique. Since your children have left home, you and your partner have been getting away more often. One of the places you have in mind is Catalonia because it hosts culturally vibrant towns and cities, villages which still retain their heritage and world-class food and wine.

Come and explore the most cultural side of Catalonia. Trace the past of the Greeks and Romans who left their legacy in Empúries and in the archaeological ensemble at Tarragona including its amphitheatre and impeccably preserved city walls.

If you like to rediscover the medieval past, in Vall de Boí in the Catalan Pyrenees there is a Romanesque ensemble of eight churches and a chapel. The simplicity of form of this artistic movement in Catalonia lends them an exceptional beauty nestled among the valley’s green meadows.

The Art Nouveau buildings sprinkled across Catalonia are a reflection of the Catalan industrial upper middle class’s interest in heritage. The style includes the designs of world-renowned architects such as Gaudí and Domènech i Muntaner, which you can visit in Barcelona, and the wine cathedrals, former wine cellars built by cooperatives.

This is just a taster. Are you up for experiencing culture in Catalonia?
