Catalunya is the Catalan name of Catalonia, an ancient nation and, presently, a region of Spain with many differences - they don't sing flamenco, they don't like bullfights, many of them don't speak Spanish, but rather Catalan ('bona nit', not 'buenas noches') - and which is actually older than Spain. They once governed the Mediterranean Sea.

Catalonia (Catalunya) is one of the 17 autonomic communities which nowadays constitute Spain.
It is usually recognized for its language, Catalan, spoken by more than 8 milion people around the world.

Catalonia is one of the first most important centers from the first Neolithic in the Occidental Mediterranean, so as from the second.
It sufered the invation of the Greeks in the fifth century (BC) and the romans in the 3d century (BC) which represented big social movements; the muslim invasion and so.
It was a well known independent kingdom till the XIV century, when it took part in the spanish empire. And finally in the XVII and XVIII century, La guerra de sucesión (the succession war) finished with the political independence of Catalonia.

Nowadays Catalonia still has its culture, language, monuments, humor and people...being so diferent from the spanish.
But yeah, I guess it doesn't deserve being recognized independent, after all, spaniards got here first, right?

A Catalan who looks down on other people from Spain and has an arrogant attitude

Little european country between France and Spain. They speak catalan (latin language) and are generally friendly people. Mountains at the north (Pyrenees) and beautiful mediterranean beaches at the east. Very good food and wine (specially Priorat).

If you go there don't look for flamenco or bullfights, they have "castells", one of the most beautiful and exciting tradicions I've ever seen in a country. If you ever go to Catalonia you can't miss it.

Present Socialist President of the Government of the Principate of Catalonia. He is the first xarnego to be president in the modern history of the Generalitat, and he is still having lessons to improve his weak catalan.

He is also said to be unsimpathethic, fool, ignorant and slow-thinking.
