Barcelona, one of the favourite destinations for incentives
Between the sea and the mountains, with unique architecture, it is a city that offers everything. It can be said that Barcelona itself is a great experience. As we all know, it is one of the two most important cities in Spain. El Prat Airport is one of the busiest airports in Europe, just 15 minutes from the city centre. On the other hand, its train connections with many cities in Spain and its complete public transport infrastructure make Barcelona a perfect city in terms of connectivity and transport.
It is a city full of contrasts, so you can enjoy 100% of your visit: business, leisure, culture, gastronomy, art, sports, fashion, history, architecture, ocean, mountains, tradition, pioneering, modern, classic, dynamic, quiet city... Walking around Barcelona is a real journey through time.
All the fusion of tradition and innovation that Barcelona has is also transferred to its cuisine. Catalan gastronomy has become the birthplace of many great national chefs, such as Ferran Adrià or the Roca brothers. In terms of quality, variety and diversity of food, it is one of the highest level cities in the world. The number of restaurants in the city is surprising and they are of great quality. And, if we talk about events, the range of spaces where you can enjoy its wonderful cuisine in a personalised way is very wide and can accommodate both small and large groups. What about holding a banquet in a place full of charm and history? Or is it a place with the most advanced facilities to ensure that the meeting is a success?
Barcelona has a wide variety of modern, exclusive, charming, classic, luxury and traditional hotels and venues, which have made this city a great option for business trips for many years now. The space for any event is crucial. It must be an ideal size place (it cannot be too big as it would seem to be half empty) to host the event to be organised. Even the location is very important, it can be in the centre (to avoid a too long transfer) or on the outskirts of the centre (there you can find for example typical and magnificent farmhouses).
Over the years, it has hosted a large number of conferences, congresses and international events that have given it experience in welcoming groups and has allowed it to grow, adapting to all kinds of nationalities. We must add its fantastic climate that allows you to enjoy almost all year round what the city has to offer.
