Catalan term or phrase: Catalunya és Marinera i de Muntanya
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

Catalunya és Marinera i de Muntanya
Catalonia: mountains and sea


Explanation:
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.
