The region of Catalonia is divided into four provinces: Barcelona, Girona (Gerona), Lleida (Lerida) and Tarragona. Best known apart from the capital, Barcelona, is of course the Mediterranean coast: Costa Brava (Wild Coast) that stretches from the north of Barcelona over the province of Girona, and Costa Dorada (Golden Coast) that stretches from south of Costa del Garraf to Costa del Azahar.

Also Catalonia offers high mountain ranges, the Pyrenees, the Montserrat Mountain Natural Park with its mountain formation unique in the world (due to the particular forms), the volcanoes (inactive) of the Garrotxa Volcanic Zone Natural Park, a natural park area covering a Holocene volcanic field (also known as the Olot volcanic field), and a wide plain area in the center of Catalonia.

Catalonia has a very marked culture of its own, most evidently of Mediterranean tradition, and is distinguished of most other Spanish regions in several aspects, not at least by its language, Catalonian (although everybody speaks and understands Castilian Spanish perfectly).

The coast offers ideal facilities for all sorts of water sports, everywhere the beauty of nature and monuments is combined with modern attractions, that is a main reason why Catalonia developed into one of the preferred touristical destinations. Those who choose from the region's beautiful countryside locations, especially in Girona province, have these within day-trip reach.
