Contrary to popular belief, Catalan is not a Spanish dialect, but a Romance language that derived from Catalonia. Catalan – also referred to as Valencian – is not only the national language of Andorra but also the co-official language of Catalonia, Valencia and the Balearic Islands. Catalan has succeeded despite its unsettled history; once a readily accepted language throughout the Mediterranean, it was then banned in Northern Catalonia and in France. Nevertheless, since the early 1980s, Catalan has become a recognised official language.
Catalonia is a highly industrialised region of Spain and is the region’s economic powerhouse. It also has a growing service sector. Industry sectors include an important life sciences sector, with 60% of Spanish pharmaceutical companies being based in Barcelona, It also has 9 science and technology parks.
Other major sectors include the automotive industry, chemicals, metalworking, ICT, creative and related industries, food, energy and textiles.
