The autonomous region (Cataluña, Catalunya) with its capital Barcelona is located in the north-east of Spain on the north-western edge of the Mediterranean. It covers 32,091 km² and is divided into the four provinces of Barcelona, Girona, Lleida and Tarragona. To the north, separated by the Pyrenees, Catalonia borders France and the dwarf state of Andorra, to the west Aragon and to the south-west Valenciana. The Balearic Islands, 200 kilometres off the coast, with the main island of Majorca, have much in common in terms of history and viticulture. Catalonia is officially bilingual; Catalan is also spoken in French Roussillon and on the Balearic Islands.

The Wine lexicon helps me to keep up to date and refresh my knowledge. Thank you for this Lexicon that will never end in terms of topicality! That's what makes it so exciting to come back often.
