Question

What languages are spoken in Costa Brava?What languages are spoken in Costa Brava?

Answer

Catalan is the primary language spoken in the region, but most locals are also fluent in Spanish; so if you know any Spanish, go for it! But note that some locals (especially in more rural areas) may be averse to speaking Spanish or have limited Spanish proficiency due to the historical and political landscape of the region (see next FAQ). If you do not know any Spanish, do not worry! Hotels and restaurants in the area are accustomed to English-speaking visitors and will typically have staff that speaks English.

Question

What is Catalunya?What is Catalunya?

Answer

Cayalunya/Cataluña/Catalonia is an autonomous community in the northeastern corner of Spain (incl. Barcelona and Costa Brava). Although the Catalan Parliament declared independence from Spain in 2017, the referendum's legitimacy was controversial. Cayalunya is considered part of Spain today, but has its own local government, language, and some control over its community. Cayalunya has a rich history that is distinct from Spanish history - we recommend reading about it before you arrive!
