The landscape invites us to lose all notion of time and to relish the beauty of these settings. This is a new tourism product dedicated to the medieval origins of Catalonia which takes in the region of the Pyrenees from Cap de Creus to Vall de Boí by way of two main networks and 13 local trails that bring together monuments and churches, villas and museums. Modernity Modern Catalonia is the product of industrialisation, the revival of traditions and a cosmopolitan spirit. Around the year 1900, Modernisme (Catalan Art Nouveau) became the style of the great civil works and the learned middle class, and it particularly left its mark in the field of architecture by way of the work of the great masters: Gaudí, Domènech i Montaner and Puig i Cadafalch. In the 20 th and 21 st centuries, Josep Lluís Sert, Ricard Bofill, Enric Miralles and Benedetta Tagliabue have taken the baton. Catalonia is internationally renowned for its artists who have played a role in shaping the sensibility of the 20 th century: the melancholic world of the early life of Picasso, born in Malaga and trained in Barcelona; the luminosity of Miró; the surrealism of Dalí; the matter painting of Tàpies and his beginnings in the Dau al Set group. Architects, designers and writers lend their support to place Catalonia at the avant-garde of contemporary creation. Geniuses of Catalonia Living heritage In Catalonia, culture means people. Concerts and festivals, museums and cultural centres have an audience that grows year on year thanks to activities catering for all ages and tastes. Catalonia plays host to the latest trends in museology while popular culture is undergoing a moment of revival. This living heritage is within the reach of visitors with amenities adapted to the different forms of travel. Catalonia, culture and landscape Industrial tourism Economic growth spawned by industrialisation was central to the artistic and cultural revival of Modernisme (Catalan Art Nouveau). The industrial world holds a two-fold attraction from the point of view of tourism: gaining an insight into age-old manufacturing processes which have survived to the present day and discovering the legacy of industrial architecture dotted throughout Catalonia.

Montserrat represents another of the important stages. The 14 th -century Llibre Vermell (Red Book) of Montserrat brings together the songs of the pilgrims and testifies to the age of these routes.
