It encompasses four provinces: Barcelona, Girona, Lleida, and Tarragona. The region boasts a diverse geography, including coastline along the Mediterranean Sea, mountain ranges, and agricultural areas. Catalonia has a strong sense of national identity and has sought greater political autonomy and recognition, particularly in the context of its language and heritage.
