Catalan term

Catalunya és Marinera i de Muntanya

Catalan to English Other Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
This is the title of a short text about how the Pyrenees and the seaside are important aspect of Catalonia as far as tourism is concerned, and I'm just a bit stuck trying to find a nice, not too long-winded way of rendering this title in English. Just wondered if anyone had any ideas.
Many thanks

A try.

Catalonia: from sea to mountain
Catalonia is sea and mountain
Catalonia is made of sea and mountain
Catalonia's sea and mountain

Luck.

Catalonia, between the sea and the mountains

A suggestion. The Catalan title is not exactly inspiring.:-)

Catalonia: mountains and sea

To me, rythmically it sounds better the other way round. But maybe I'm being influenced by the jingle on an advert often seen on BBC World:

#Malaysia, truly Asia
#the mountains, and the sea
#Malaysia, truly Asia
#is calling out - to you and me
#Malaysia, truly Asia

Sorry, but I can't find a download anywhere for those who haven't heard this very catchy jingle.

Catalonia: where the mountains meet the sea

Just a few more ideas

Catalonia - where the mountains meet the sea
Catalonia - between the mountains and the sea
Catalonia - a land between the mountains and the sea

HTH
