My Holidays

For my holidays, I went many times (almost every summer) into a region of Spain called Cataluña.
It is both, formal and perceptional.
The formal part is because it is a real region of Spain. There, the people have their own language, Catalan, but they also speak Spanish; they have to learn both at school. This region also wants to be independent from Spain. So, it is really formal.
The perceptional part is that when I go there, I only think of the coast, where I really go, Salou. The labels in the stores are not written in Spanish, they are written in Catalan. It is a very touristic town. There is the sea, huge hotels. You can meet people from all sorts of countries, the menu in the restaurants is in many different languages. But this happens only in that part of Cataluña. It is also perceptional, then.
