Going Native in Catalonia
Going Native in Catalonia is a book and quirky guide to Barcelona
and Catalonia written by Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona
lecturer, Simon Harris. It's based on his experiences of living
amongst the Catalans for the last twenty years and whilst not
comprehensive, gives insights into the Catalan way of life that
truly can't be found in any other book of its kind. His next
book, so he tells me, will be about Spanish football and his
website www.spain-football.org will
give you a good idea of his idiosyncratic views on Spain and the
Beautiful Game (He's an almost obsessive Barça fan, by
the way. You can buy Going Native in Catalonia from Simon
