- Regarding Catalan, besides being the dominant language in
- Catalunya (Catalonia), it is also the official language of
- the prinicipality of Andorra. I recall driving through
- Andorra during the winter and seeing street signs written
- only in Catalan. One read: Perill-Gel, meaning Danger-Ice!
-
- Interestingly enough, there is an advertisement by Catalunya
- in this week's Economist news magazine by the Catalan
- development agency, timed to coincide with the olympics. It
- describes Catalunya repeatedly as a country. It does also
- make a brief mention once about Catalunya being a country
- within Spain.
