Comparison !!!


There are four main regions in Britain - England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland. In Scotland there are lots of golf courses and each year in the Highlands nnorth of Britain and has got a lot of wild, mountainous countryside in the Highlands. It's famous for its lakes which are called lochs in Scotland. Like many parts of Britain, Scotland has got its own traditions. For special occasions some Scottish men wear a kilt rather than trousers. The patterns are called " tartans " and each important family has got its own design. The unusual instrument known as the bagpipes is also a part of Scottish tradition.
Sport is very important in Scotland. The
re are Highland Games with some familiar events and some unusual ones.

Catalonia is in the north-east of Spain. The capital city is Barcelona. The climate of Catalonia is diverse. The populated areas lying by the coast in Tarragona, Barcelona and Girona feature a Mediterranean climate. In Catalonia you can visit many places, such as the Dalí Museum in Figueres is that the segrada Familia, Park Guell in Barcelona, and others. The correfocs, in which "devils" play with fire close the onlookers, is one of the most striking of the Catalan festive events. The devils are not considered the incarnation of evil; they are sprightly and festive characters, dancing to the sound of drums and the traditional gralla, while they set off their fireworks. Perhaps the most spectacular of the Catalan festivals are those of the colles castelleres, groups of enthusiasts who form impressive human towers (up to ten people high). The sardana is a ciruclar, open dance, that originated in the Empordà region (north of the country by the Mediterranean sea) and the Pyrinees (Catalan Pirineus), and is now danced in many squares and streets all over Catalonia. Sport is very important in Catalonia too. The most famous sport is football. Everyone love football!
