Catalonia attracts visitors for its Mediterranean lifestyle: mild climate, always sunny, life in the streets, beautiful nature and a 1000-year history that has provided a rich heritage and culture. Little Catalonia offers a lot of diversity and contrasts, ranging from the vibrant city life of Barcelona to the solitude in the green landscapes; from the resorts by the sea to the magnificent peaks of the Pyrenees; from the common sense and wisdom of the people, to the craziness and creativity of Gaudi or Dali. Moreover, Catalonia plays the leading role in international gastronomy and you will find a wide choice of wines. The Catalan Tourist Board, as an organization, is responsible for putting Catalonia's attractions in the international spotlight. The Brussels office is responsible for the Belgian, Dutch and Luxembourg markets.
