Yes, there is an enclave, but it's not a "true enclave": you must not
forget that all the catalan language area is a bilingual area. The
catalan is a minotitary language. So, all the people is able to speak
spanish ( or french in the french zone ) and an important part can
speak catalan, but there are parts of the territory ( specially south
of Valencia, the french zone or the great metropolis with many
immigration ) where the catalan is known, but is not much used. The
catalan government has specific plans to promote the social use of the
language.

So, the map just shows the zones where the catalan is considered the
own language.
And the inclave signifies that in this part the inhabitants only speak
spanish.
