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.

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.

Region in Spain where a lot of people is independentist, but also imperialist, cause they'll invade the Region of Valencia, a place with a lot of money and resources, with a "Catalan Countries" plan that goes against the human rights.
Standard catalan is arrogant and hypocrite.

Example of imperialism:
Sense Valencia no hi ha independencia
Transl. -> Without Valencia there's no independence.

Region that's currently in Spain, but is wildly different to the rest of this country. Catalunya is its name in Catalan, its English name is Catalonia.

Place where Catalan people live. Some Catalans don't want to consider it part of Spain, and want it to be independent. Its weather is sometimes cold, sometimes hot. There are lots of interesting buildings to visit, and quite a lot of interestnig places to go too.
