Catalan Tourism Guide As A With the collaboration of: catalonia is culture www.catalunya.com Cultural Tourism Club Catalogue http://cultura.catalunya.com 2010 The ancient museum, faded madonnas, And the extreme painting of today! A candid whim: I’m exalted by the new, enamoured of the old. J. V. Foix From the depths of the depths of the depths Of creation, Life kindles life. Joan Brossa © Catalan Tourist Board 2010 © Generalitat de Catalunya 2010 Culture is a stamp of identity for Catalonia, a land of artists and entrepreneurs seeking the essence of its spirit in the past, a spirit that is both innovative and outward-looking. From the valleys of the Pyrenees to the Ebro Delta, from Cap de Creus to inland Catalonia, a kaleidoscopic landscape has served as a reference point and source of inspiration for architects, sculptors, musicians and painters alike. This catalogue aims to be an instrument for becoming acquainted with the culture of Catalonia and its tourism opportunities by bringing together the products offered by the member companies and institutions of the Cultural Tourism Club. The selection is organised around four main themes: origins, modernity, geniuses of the 20 th century and living heritage, inviting you to discover the symbiosis between nature and culture, between the landscape and the work of creators from every era, constituting one of the main attractions our land offers to visitors.

This document was designed as a tool for assessing and guiding water management in Spain. Although Spain’s future water policy is outlined in the conclusions, the points mentioned refer only to quantitative aspects of water resources without considering the issue of quality. Nonetheless, the issue of river, reservoir, lake and groundwater pollution is taken into account in the assessment section. Amongst the problems related to water quality, the White Paper notes, among others, problems related with Directives 91/271/EEC and 91/676/EEC. A brief summary of the main issues addressed is provided below. Surface water and diffuse pollution. In general, diffuse pollution produced by agricultural and livestock raising activities (e.g.

  • COAC.1874-1962-En.Pdf
    COL·LEGI D’ARQUITECTES DE CATALUNYA 1874-1962 Enric Granell, Antoni Ramon The author of the cover photograph is Klaus Erik Halmburger. Thanks to the donation of Enric Granell, it forms part of the Historical Archive of the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya. This book is published at a time of crisis when it is useful to look back at our history and review the role played by the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya (Architects’ Institute of Catalonia) at other, equally difficult moments and to see how, in its support to architects as a body, the COAC has been able to evolve by adapting to new situations. It is also positive to see how some constants of the COAC and, by extension, of Catalan architects, have continued throughout inevitable changes. These are values such as the will to undertake the responsibility for constructing a quality environment for our fellow citizens, with social and cultural commitment, incorporating the requirements and needs produced by the rapid transformation of lifestyles and technological means. Since 1874, first the Associació d’Arquitectes de Catalunya and then the Col·legi d’Arquitectes de Catalunya have brought together the architectural profession, becoming its public representative and a link between citizens, professionals and architecture. With the opening of the building in Barcelona’s Plaça Nova, 50 years ago now, these roles acquired a new dimension. Today, at a time of far-reaching global change, the objectives remain the same, and we continue with our search for new ways to make them reality.

  • Catalan Modernism and Vexillology
    Catalan Modernism and Vexillology Sebastià Herreros i Agüí Abstract Modernism (Modern Style, Modernisme, or Art Nouveau) was an artistic and cultural movement which flourished in Europe roughly between 1880 and 1915. In Catalonia, because this era coincided with movements for autonomy and independence and the growth of a rich bourgeoisie, Modernism developed in a special way. Differing from the form in other countries, in Catalonia works in the Modern Style included many symbolic elements reflecting the Catalan nationalism of their creators. This paper, which follows Wladyslaw Serwatowski’s 20 ICV presentation on Antoni Gaudí as a vexillographer, studies other Modernist artists and their flag-related works. Lluís Domènech i Montaner, Josep Puig i Cadafalch, Josep Llimona, Miquel Blay, Alexandre de Riquer, Apel·les Mestres, Antoni Maria Gallissà, Joan Maragall, Josep Maria Jujol, Lluís Masriera, Lluís Millet, and others were masters in many artistic disciplines: Architecture, Sculpture, Jewelry, Poetry, Music, Sigillography, Bookplates, etc. and also, perhaps unconsciously, Vexillography. This paper highlights several flags and banners of unusual quality and national significance: Unió Catalanista, Sant Lluc, CADCI, Catalans d’Amèrica, Ripoll, Orfeó Català, Esbart Català de Dansaires, and some gonfalons and flags from choral groups and sometent (armed civil groups).
