Cataluña caravan and motorhome sites

This unique region of North Eastern Spain spans 360 miles along the Mediterranean coast. Cataluña is home to Romanesque art, medieval mountain monasteries, Art Nouveau masterpieces and Roman ruins.

Its cuisine is as varied and diverse as its landscape. Traditions like the human towers (formed by castellers standing on each other’s shoulders) are a unique Catalan tradition that was given UNESCO World Heritage status in 2010.

One day you could be hiking through the Pyrenees and the next enjoying fresh seafood in a quaint seaside town.
