| Barcelona |
 |
In
a privileged position on the north-eastern coast of
the Iberian Peninsula and the shores of the Mediterranean,
Barcelona is the second largest city in Spain in both
size and population. It is also the capital of Catalonia.
The capital of Catalonia is unequivocally a Mediterranean
city, not only because of its geo-graphic location
but also and above all because of its history, tradition
and cultural influences.
|
Culture and the arts flourished in
Barcelona and in all of Catalonia; the splendour achieved
by Catalonian modernism is one of the most patent displays.
Barcelona, more than just a single city, is really a
collection of multi-faceted and diverse cities. The visitor
unfamiliar with its history might be surprised that such
a modern and enterprising city preserves its historic
Gothic centre almost intact.
With it’s beautiful beaches, exquisite architecture,
exhibition centres, varying hotels and not forgetting
only an hours drive to some of the best ski fields in
Europe, Barcelona really does make a perfect location
for corporate travel and European hospitality. |

Madrid |
The
capital of Spain, located in the heart of the peninsula
and right in the centre of the Castillian plain 646
meters above sea level, has a population of over three
million.
A cosmopolitan city, a business centre, headquarters
for the Public Administration, Gov-ernment, Spanish
Parliament and the home of the Spanish Royal Family,
Madrid also plays a major role in both the banking
and industrial sectors.
|
Most of its industry is located in
the Southern fringe of the city, where important textile,
food and metal working factories are clustered. Madrid
is characterized by intense cultural and artistic activity
and a very lively nightlife, perfect for entertaining
clients and indeed for incentive breaks. |
