Join us for a online/virtual tour of Catalonia, Spain, a region with a rich and fascinating history!

Our host will be Jordi Gomez, a Barcelona/Catalonia native and local tour guide.

Jordi’s presentation, in English, will provide an overview of the historic region, and he’ll answer questions afterward.

Catalonia is an autonomous community in the northeastern corner of Spain, designated as a nationality by its Statute of Autonomy.

Catalonia consists of four provinces: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona. The capital and largest city, Barcelona is the second-most populated municipality in Spain and the fifth-most populous urban area in the European Union. It comprises most of the former Principality of Catalonia (with the remainder Roussillon now part of France’s Pyrénées-Orientales). It is bordered by France (Occitanie) and Andorra to the north, the Mediterranean Sea to the east, and the Spanish autonomous communities of Aragon to the west and Valencia to the south. The official languages are Catalan, Spanish, and the Aranese dialect of Occitan.

Catalan gastronomy has a long culinary tradition. Various local food recipes have been described in documents dating from the fifteenth century. As with all the cuisines of the Mediterranean, Catatonian dishes make abundant use of fish, seafood, olive oil, bread and vegetables. Regional specialties include the pa amb tomàquet (bread with tomato), which consists of bread (sometimes toasted), and tomato seasoned with olive oil and salt. Often the dish is accompanied with any number of sausages (cured botifarres, fuet, iberic ham, etc.), ham or cheeses. Others dishes include the calçotada, escudella i carn d’olla, suquet de peix (fish stew), and a dessert, Catalan cream.

Jordi previous gave an excellent presentation on Barcelona, Spain, which you may want to watch before viewing his related Catalonia presentation.
