Hotels in Catalonia, Spain

Catalonia sits in northeastern Spain, with Barcelona at its heart, and is famous for Gaudí's surreal architecture and the rugged Costa Brava coastline. The Mediterranean climate brings mild winters (around 14°C/57°F) ideal for hiking the Pyrenees foothills, and hot summers (about 30°C/86°F) perfect for swimming in the clear waters of Calella de Palafrugell. In spring, you can explore Barcelona's Gothic Quarter and La Boqueria market without the summer crowds, while fall offers wine tasting in the Penedès region, where the grape harvest is in full swing.
