I don't know what a Catalan accent is, so I think my brain goes back to "default intellectual with a slightly weird Romance-language accent Western European" which, apparently, is Poirot.

Didn't you watch L'Augerge Espanol?  The locals were Catalans.

They sounded a lot like...Spaniards.

I mostly remember the unrealistically hot lesbian. And I think Tautou.

Suppose that to a foreigner it will sound close to Spanish.

I actually hated the movie, and it made me suspect that the Erasmus students in Istanbul were having a ton of sex that I wasn't (they were.) 

Also, the mental image of Hercule Poirit gasping "Mare de Déu" at the sight of Alexandra Daddario's breasts made me chuckle for a few minutes.  Don't take that away from me.

It somehow sounds more Portuguese to me than Spanish but I'm guessing that's cause it sounds like Spanish but somehow I know it isn't. 

EDIT: Unsurprisingly all the girls in this video are gorgeous.

You're quite something, Psellus. And I mean that in a good way.

Those are pretty hillbilly accents.

It has the "ch" sound I associate with Rio Portuguese, which I've heard a lot of.  Also the weird "ow" sound that I associate with Rio Portuguese, don't even know how to express in IPA because English, Russian and Turkish don't have anything quite like it.

Is the phonology conservative when compared to Castilian or French?

I... I... I don't think I'm qualified to answer that, I don't even know what it means...

I'm not hearing that much that isn't very Latin.  French and Romanian are both super derived phonologically (they don't sound like Cato's Latin; I'm trained in Slavic phonology and can't really tell that Romanian isn't Slavic unless I listen for specific words or the th sound).  Think the very un-Latin French nasal vowels.

In that case, yes, Catalan is a bit closer to Latin than Spanish, but not as much as some of the Italian dialects.
