In Catalonia, as in other countries of the world, there are a lot of famous people. This is mainly because a lot of famous people love  living  in Barcelona, even if it’s for a short period of the year. 

The famous people have different jobs: There are famous singers, actors, writters, politics, and sports players like football players, and tennis players etc

Nowadays if someone goes to Barcelona city centre  you have a good chance to meet  someone famous.

There are a lot of celebrities in Catalonia, and some of them are groups of singers Lax’n Busto, Txarango, Amèlie and others. Lax’n Busto is one of the most popular groups in Catalonia because people like catalan rock.

Some famous catalan actors are Àlex Monner, Mireia Vilapuig, Nil Cardoner and others who  act in the catalan TV series “Polseres vermelles”.

The director of this series is Albert Espinosa (who is shown in the picture). This writer is very successful among teenagers, who love his books because he writes about different illnesses.  One of his books is about teenegers that suffer cancer.

Many sports players are also famous in Catalonia, mainly because Barça is one of the best football teams in the world. We have some sports players like Leo Messi, Puyol, etc.  And the  famous tennis player Rafa Nadal is also Catalan.

On the one hand, we can see that in the last years a lot of Catalan people are becoming very well-known around the world due to their sucess in their professional lives. 

But on the other hand the catalan politicians are getting known all over the world due to the economic crisis in Spain that is shown every day in the news and newspapers in other countries.
