I am going simply hyper in .cat country

Traveling in the Catalonian region of Spain (around Barcelona for a long way) can drive a namer nuts. The language isn’t Spanish or French, but this crazy mixture called Catalan. And they are very passionate about it. After all, what other province in the world could get its own country language specific domain code? It is .cat and a lot of fun to see it in professional usage here… and no, cat lovers need not apply… you need a registered business in the region, and about Euro240 per year.

And there is not even any relief when we visit the large English like supermarket. Yes, it really is called Hiper Simply.

Hi,
you say the Hipersimply comes from the catalan, but i am sorry, this name is a mix of the spanish word hipermercado and the name of the company simply from the group sabeco. this group is a spanish group and is number 4 in the ranging in spain. they have also alcampo, simply and simply city markets all over spain.
greetings jana
