Where is Catalonia?

by Krosan • 28 Jan 2011, 14:59 • Journals
Ok so I had a discussion with some colleagues:

I said: Catalonia, that's the South of Spain. Being at the Mediterranean Sea and all - which is the South of Europe!

My colleague said it's NORTH OF SPAIN!

??

Alright alright if you look at Spain on ITS OWN without SEAS:

Then ye it's like east. Even though IMO the map is rotated in favour of those north-loving douches.

But come on. Look at Europe again:

image: mapa_catalunya

It's SOUTH ye... ye!

Look: It's at the bottom of Europe!

So what say you? North East South West?

is that how europe looks on the planet with its position regarding its rotation and the sun?
Parent

Burneddi 28 Jan 2011, 15:30
Well, if we assume the orbit of Earth as a two dimensional plane, then taking the circular shape and the tilt of the planet into account Catalonia could be considered as facing "downwards" compared to that two dimensional plane.

danL 28 Jan 2011, 15:35
not really, earth is tilted only like 20° and even with that catalonia lies greatly on the east of spain

Well, for example Enontekiö is in the armpit of Finland and they still say it's in the northern Finland instead of western Finland.

And no, they don't say "Southern north pole" either.

Krosan 28 Jan 2011, 15:10
Ain't that a bitch.

Burneddi 28 Jan 2011, 15:11
Totally, I mean, if you draw a vertical line directly across Finland halving it into two, it clearly falls onto the western side.

These things.
Parent
▼
Anima 28 Jan 2011, 15:23
actually that would be north-west?
Parent
▼
Burneddi 28 Jan 2011, 15:27
Well, there's a habit of just generally saying "Northern Finland" when referring to anything above Oulu (i.e. the "waist" of the country) because of the longish shape of Finland.

Just figured it'd go well with the topic of the journal.

look at the pic and tell me if the place that the arrow is point at is in the southern part of scandinavia.
btw, denmark reaches further to the south than sweden.
oh and speaking about south/north in particular case of sweden and norway is simply stupid, with these contries being "stretched" from top to bottom...

I actually had an argument over this during my Spanish exam :DD

Ehm but really Catalonia is the North-East of Spain and just as Spain itself, in the Southern regions of Europe.

In my experience it doesn't matter how much logic lies behind your argument, as long as you yell it loudly enough.

It's North-East of Spain.
It's South-West of Europe. Therefore you can put it in either West or South, depending on your paradigms (like balancing teams, etc).

1ns4n1tY 28 Jan 2011, 22:36
you are right, ofc.
obviously, south of spain == south of europe
