CULTURE

LA CERDANYA


La Cerdanya is a pyrenean ‘’comarca’’ in northern Catalunya. There are actually two parts to Cerdanya, a result of its division between Spain and France as part of the 1659 Treaty of the Pyrenees. The northern part, Alt Cerdanya, belongs to France, whereas the southern part, Baix Cerdanya, is Spanish territory. It is bordered by the Catalan comarques of Alt Urgell to the west, Solsonès and Berguedà to the south and Ripollès to the east.
Noteworthy religious buildings include the Esgle´sia de Sant Domènec in the heart of the town, with its gothic murals, and a 42-metre square belltower, the Campanar de Santa Maria(you can visit it)

New words for me: -whereas: mentre que
