Catalonia 2025

From the peaks of the Pyrenees to the shores of the Ebre Delta, explore a land of contrast and culinary excellence.

Catalonia boasts a remarkably diverse orography. Within just a few kilometres, the landscape rises dramatically from sea level to mountain peaks nearly 3,000 metres high. Spanning 32,107 square kilometres, the region features mountain ranges that mirror its coastline, inland depressions, high-altitude Pyrenean peaks, and the fertile Ebre Delta, formed by sediments from one of the Iberian Peninsula’s most abundant rivers.

Gastronomy is not just a cultural treasure—it’s a key economic driver for Catalonia. It creates employment, boosts sustainable tourism, supports local producers, and fosters innovation while reinforcing Catalonia’s unique identity. This dynamic sector is vital for the region’s long-term growth and sustainability.

Today, Catalonia stands at the forefront of global gastronomy. Thanks to visionary chefs like Ferran Adrià and the legendary elBulli restaurant, the region has revolutionised not only the art of cooking but also the entire culinary experience. Their legacy continues to inspire a new wave of Catalan chefs pushing creative boundaries.

Whether by land, sea, or air, Catalonia is ready to welcome you. With easy access and an abundance of cultural and culinary experiences, this is a destination that invites you to discover its landscapes, traditions, and world-renowned flavours.
