Hi,

Did you know that ...
  • ... Chupa Chups lollypops are made in Catalonia?
  • ... the Nokia Tune comes from a catalan guitarrist, Francesc Tarrega, who wrote the melody in the 19th Century?
  • ... the Moulin Rouge, the famous cabarette in Paris, was founded by yet another catalan, Josep Oller?
  • ... the mexican national anthem was composed by Jaume Nuno (you guessed, yet another catalan)?
You can find all these facts, with lots of extra information, in this blog about trivia and facts about Catalonia, the beautiful region in the northeast of Spain, capital Barcelona.
