Vichy Catalán

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Vichy Catalán is a Spanish brand of carbonated mineral water bottled from its homonymous thermal spring in Caldes de Malavella, Girona. It is the leading carbonated mineral water in Spain, with 40% market share.[1] The brand is owned by Grup Vichy Catalan («Premium Mix Group S.L.»)[2] ) by the physician and surgeon Modest Furest i Roca after buying the lands of the water spring in Caldes de Malavella, and discovering the mineral-medicinal properties of its thermal waters.
