Everyone should visit Catalonia and its mythical capital of Barcelona at least once! A region in north-eastern Spain on the border with France, Catalonia a microcosm rich in culture, art and gastronomy, as well as awe-inspiring natural landscapes.
Your open-air holiday in Catalonia will have to include at least one day trip to the famous city of Barcelona, home to iconic buildings such as Gaudí's Sagrada Familia, teeming with museums and traditional and ethnic restaurants. Stroll down La Rambla, stopping at its characterful La Boqueria market, explore Parc Guell and sip a caňa or sangria by the sea, in a city that almost never sleeps.
Catalonia isn't just Barcelona, though. Art and history lovers will delight in visiting the Dalí museum in Figueres, the majestic archaeological complex of Tarraco in Tarragona, or the churches of Vall de Boí in Lleida…
There is no shortage of top-notch beach destinations either: the Costa Brava, the Costa Dorada and the Costa Barcelona offer beautiful beaches and coastal towns such as Salou, Cadaqués and Lloret de Mar, where you can enjoy water sports and lively nightlife.
If you prefer the mountains, nothing beats a hike in the Catalan Pyrenees, for example in the Aigüestortes i Estany de Sant Maurici National Park. Or, venture into the volcanic region of Garrotxa, with more than 40 volcanic cones and unspoilt wilderness, far from the crowds that populate the tourist resorts of Catalonia.
Book your campsite in Catalonia now: given the popularity of the region, booking early will offer you a wider range of possibilities!
