The Paris Of Spain By Hans Christian Anderson - 1490 Words

Barcelona has been referenced as the â€Å"Paris of Spain† by Danish author Hans Christian Anderson and to many his analogy was on point.

Catalonia’s absolute location is 41.5912 ° N, 1.5209 ° E (World Atlas, 2016) and relatively located in the North-Eastern part of Spain, bordered by France to the North, and the Mediterranean Sea to the East. As well as, the Aragon Region to the West and the Valencia Region to the South (Map). Catalonia consists of four provinces: Lleida Province, Tarragona Province, Girona Province, and the Barcelonan Province. Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain and the most populous city in Catalonia. Its absolute location is 41.3851 ° N, 2.1734 ° E (W orld Atlas, 2016), while it is relatively located on the east coast of Spain bordering the Mediterranean Sea, particularly the Balearic Sea (Map).
