1. My favourite Catalan dishes- Fideuà

There are a lot of Catalan fantastic dishes. In this place you can eat really amazing food. One of my favourite one is fideuà. I fall in love with this Catalan dish. It tastes even better than paella ;)

Years ago it was a dish used to feed poor fishermen on board fishing boats as a way of using up the seafood they didn't sell in the market that day. Nowadays, it is very popular dish in all Catalunya. It is often cooked for special occasions. Fideuà includes herbs and very esxpensive spices such as saffron and lots of good quality fish. The main ingredients of fideuà are short noodles. Normally, it is served with allioli. Believe me, it is soooo delisious!

Delta de l'Ebre - The kingdom of birds

In Catalunya there are a lot of places where you can relax and forget about all your problems. In my opinion, the most beautiful one is The Ebro Delta. If you need a rest I recommend you to visit this nature reserve. It's even more interesting for all of you who love observe nature and, above all, birds. The Ebro Delta is one of the largest wetland areas in the western Mediterranean region. Is situated in the Province of Tarragona. A large part of the delta is a natural park named Ebro Delta Natural Park (cat. Parc Natural del Delta de l'Ebre). It has 95 breeding species of birds and is also very important for over 300 species of a wide range of transient and overwintering species. The Ebro Delta Park serves as an essential stopover point for large numbers of migratory birds and waterfowl . When I was there I saw the flock of flamingos for the first time in my life. It was an unforgett...

3. My favourite places in Barcelona - Palau de la Música

At the auditorium played grate classical musicians like the famous cellist Pau Casals or the flutist Jean-Pierre Rampal and jazz stars, among others Ella Fitzgerald and Duke Ellington. It's very impressing how many legendery concerts took place there! Barcelona is famous for its modernist architecture. The Palace of Catalan Music is one of the most incredible exaple of this style. It was proyected by Oscar Tusquets and Carles Diaz and built between 1905 and 1908. I think that The Catalan Concert Hall is the most beautiful in the world. It's amazing how rich is the decoration of the hall. There are many floral and others organic motifs. In my opinion the most beautiful and orginal part of the decoration is the chandelier. It's made of stained-glass window. Have a look at this wonder! It's breathtaking. In my opinion, the best way to visit The Palace of Catalan Music is to go to some concert. Every week great musicians play there. Check the...
