Badalona (Baetulo in Roman times) is a city in Catalunya, in the comarca of el Barcelonès near the city of Barcelona, on the left bank of the small river Besòs, and on the Mediterranean Sea. Population 218,553 (2005).

Badalona has a station on the coast railway from Barcelona to Perpignan in France, and a small harbour, chiefly important for its fishing and boat-building trades. There are gas, chemical and mineral-oil works in the town, which also manufactures woollen and cotton goods, glass, biscuits, sugar and brandy; while the surrounding fertile plains produce an abundance of grain, wine and fruit. Badalona thus largely contributes to the export trade of Barcelona, and may, in fact, be regarded as its industrial suburb.

[edit] Anís del Mono

This Mediterranean port region is the home to the historic distillery which produces Anís del Mono, a spirit made of herbs and anise, one of the mostt famous anisette in Spain.
