While it may be best known as the home to Barcelona, one of Europe s greatest cities, Catalonia has plenty more to offer. Famous for the unique artistic achievements of Gaud� and Dal�, Catalonia is now equally famous for its contemporary architecture, Camp Nou, Formula 1 and fabulous golf courses. Indeed, visitors enjoy an incredible range of choices, from the urban riches of Barcelona or the majestic Pyrenees, to the stunning nightlife of Sitges or the tranquillity of rural tourism.
