Our village is in Catalonia and this region takes part of Spain and the European
Union. Thanks to its geographical position it is the gateway between the
people of the peninsula and the rest of Europe.
Catalonia is in the east of the Iberian peninsula on the Mediterranean coast.
This privileged position means that Catalans enjoy a temperature and pleasant
climate most of the year.
The Catalonian landscape is very varied. . The Pyrenees mountains contrast
strongly with the coastal regions. Although the pleasant environment quality is
generalised, Catalonia is a very pleasant country to live in.

shores of the Mediterranean, and contains very important Roman remains.
