Catalan is an interesting language which is neither Spanish nor French and is spoken by 4 million people primarily along the eastern (Mediterranean) coast of Spain and France. Just when you think aha, this is a lot like Spanish, you'll see a whole group of words that are French, primarily aligned along subjects - "Food is French, Love is Spanish" kind of things.

Barcelona is one of the major cities of Catalonia and there is a strong push for independence from Spain, although the area has been under French domination in the past. Generally the standard of living is higher than other areas in Spain with the overall cost of living comparable to the southern U.S. The people are predominantly Catholic in religion, but like most of the rest of Spain generally secular in their practice of their faith.

The Catalonia region is known for the lively beach resorts of Costa Brava, the Pyrenees mountains and as home to surrealist artist Salvador Dalí. Barcelona has an ancient Gothic Quarter, La Rambla pedestrian mall and several beaches. Antoni Gaudí’s distinctive architecture can be seen at the Sagrada Família basilica and in the colorful mosaics of Park Güell.
