The reference page and meeting point for Americans who support peace, freedom, dignity, and democratic rule in Catalonia.

Catalonia is a region located in the northeastern corner of the Iberian Peninsula. It has its own language, culture, and cuisine, and a 700-year history as a powerful independent country, ending in 1714. In that year the Kingdom of Spain abolished Catalan home-rule and began three centuries of alternating periods of oppression, warfare, neglect, cultural invasion, and disrespect. Despite Spain's return to democracy in 1978, disrespect and oppression of Catalonia has grown so much recently that many Catalans are now demanding independence from Spain. Despite the challenges, Catalans continue their dedication to peaceful democracy and the embracing of all peoples and cultures within Catalonia. Please join us in supporting Catalonia.

Gaudí's serpentine bench at Park Güell is 360 feet (110 meters) long. And it's not just a seat. It's the railing of a giant balcony over Barcelona.

It runs along the edge of the park's big open square, the Nature Square. Under your feet is a hall of 86 columns. In front of you, the whole city slopes down to the sea.

The waves aren't only for looks. Each curve makes a little nook, so a few friends can sit and chat face to face, even when the square is busy.

Legend says Gaudí got the shape by having a worker sit naked in wet clay. Nobody can prove it. But sit down and you'll feel how well the backrest fits.

The colors are the work of Josep Maria Jujol, Gaudí's young collaborator. He used trencadís (Catalan for "broken up"), a mosaic made of thousands of pieces of broken tile and glass. Look closely and you'll find words hidden in it: little prayers to the Virgin Mary, in Catalan and Latin.

And when it rains? Small holes at the bottom of the backrest let the water drain away, so the seat dries fast. The rain from the square runs down through the columns into a big tank under the park. When the tank is full, the extra water comes out of the mouth of the famous mosaic dragon at the entrance.
