TEEPED IN TRADITION
, with its own language and an enormous sense of
pride in its separate identity, Catalonia is immensely rich in both cultural
heritage and physical geography. It is no exaggeration to say that Catalonia
really does have everything. To the north are the 3,000-m (9840-ft) peaks of
the Pyrenees. The coastline is dotted with hundreds of beautiful sandy beaches
and intimate rocky coves with crystal-clear waters. These staggering natural
treasures are complemented by a wealth of fabulous churches and monas-
teries, many set in stunning, isolated mountain scenery. For the gourmet, the
regional cuisine is particularly rewarding, while the locally-produced
cava
easily holds its own against its French champagne counterparts.
