The region of Catalonia, with Barcelona in particular, is a region of rink hockey, or roller hockey on quad skates. Rink hockey could be considered the "national" sport of Catalonia, if Catalonia was an independent country. This region, along with Portugal, nothern Italy, and the region of San Juan in Argentina, make up the regions of the world where the best rink hockey (quad) is played, and from where some of the best players of rink hockey come from. The only time this sport was present in the Olympic games, was when Barcelona hosted the Olympic Games, in 1992. In women, Catalonia's rink hockey has no equal rival, both in clubs as well as in its regional team. In men, it is at the same level with Portugal. Regarding rink hockey clubs, FC Barcelona is by far the club with more European club championship titles, well ahead of the Portuguese main clubs. A special article about rink hockey in Barcelona should be included in this page. 79.168.2.73 (talk) 02:58, 4 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Order of Catalan and Spanish in the lead and infobox
Latest comment: 2 months ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Hello, I noticed that in the article's lead, Catalan appears before Spanish. Similarly, in the infobox, under "Languages", Catalan is listed first, followed by Spanish. Given that both languages have co-official status in Catalonia, is this order simply alphabetical or is there a specific guideline that dictates which language should appear first? I'd like to understand the general criterion to follow for such cases. Thank you. Simoncik84 (talk) 09:57, 2 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

In the second paragraph of the article we read, "According to tradition, Barcelona was founded by either the Phoenicians or the Carthaginians, who had trading posts along the Catalonian coast." The proper adjective is surely Catalan not the neologism Catalonian. The sentence, therefore, should read, According to tradition, Barcelona was founded by either the Phoenicians or the Carthaginians, who had trading posts along the Catalan coast. Similarly, the first sentence in the section Punic Barcelona should read, According to tradition, Barcelona was founded by Punic (Phoenician) settlers, who had trading posts along the Catalan coast.SanVitoresII (talk) 07:32, 1 July 2026 (UTC)Reply
