    I love the Catalan nation so much.I think is one of my favourite small nations along with Irish, New Zealanders and Finns.

    They don't have their own state tho, and that makes it difficult for the cohesion of the different regions split into 3 or 4 countries. And yet they have preserve their culture and identity where others have largely lost it .


    Perpinya and Alghero are two of the most beautiful cities I have visited. My bf has family in Valencia, and I have spent there a few holidays too, but believe it or not, I have never been in Barcelona yet

    Sorry, but it's too late. Barcelona was a city really worth a visit at late seventies, currently it's mainly a crappy overcrowded failure.

    After being constantly bombed with derogatory comments by certain people, appreciations like yours are even nicer to hear.

    In fact, none of the pics posted so far are part of Spain, lol. Some people's obsession leads to epic fails like these, easily forgetting that ethnic Catalans still spread over four independent countries. But I guess that as long as the thread is hijacked, who cares about accuracy?

    I'm all for the right of people to decide. I understand the Catalan Countries as one ethnic nation, but it does not mean that they should necessarily form one single country. Specially the Land of Valencia, a dual territory from its very inception. So it is up to Catalans from Valencia and the Balearic to decide if they'd like to join with Catalonians in a common political project. Would I like it? Yes. Particularly for the preservation of the ethnicity in those territories. But what I really care for right now is the Principality.

    -
    I'll soon go on posting about the rest of the Catalan territory.
