Catalonia

Spain is an incredibly diverse country that brings together a number of different cultures and dialects that have had their roots on the Iberian Peninsula for centuries. Catalonia covers a portion of south eastern Spain, and is one of the country’s best known autonomous communities. The region’s capital and cultural hub is Barcelona. The stunning seaside city boasts a strong maritime history, along with an impressive gothic and art-nouveau quarter, much of which is attributed to the notable architect, Gaudi. Along the city’s border with the Mediterranean Sea are a string of sandy beaches popular with spring and summer visitors.

In town, some of Barcelona’s largest attractions are Parc Guell, a garden complex featuring architectural elements by Gaudi and La Sagrada Familia, a roman catholic church designed by the same artist, both UNESCO World Heritage sites. Also popular with tourists and locals alike is the Las Ramblas, a tree-lines pedestrian mall in the center of Barcelona. There are also trendy shops, cafes and restaurants throughout town worth visiting. The city’s Olympic Port shows off its more contemporary side. There, visitors will find Casino de Barcelona, one of Spain’s top rated casinos. For a small entrance fee, visitors can try their hand at Roulette, Blackjack Poker, slots and other games well into the night. Another bustling casino in the region is the Gran Casino Costa Brava located in Lloret de Mar, one of the most popular holiday resorts on the Costa Brava, only 75 km from Barcelona. This modern venue offers all the classic casino games, slots and more. Other casinos in the region are located in the cities of Peralada and Tarragona.
