ABOUT BARCELONA

Vibrant, modern, internationally renowned, Mediterranean, multicultural, entrepreneurial, open, friendly and stunningly attractive, with an outstanding gastronomic, architectural and cultural heritage. No doubt about it, we're talking about Barcelona. Few cities in the world offer so many reasons to choose them as the best place to celebrate a very special event!

Its strategic location, modern and comprehensive service network, broad and successful track record in the organisation of major events of all types and its especially hospitable character make our city one of the world's three principal tourist destinations, according to the annual ranking published by the ICCA.

Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia, a territory whose enviable location has always favoured a very close relationship with the other cultures around the shores of the Mediterranean. From its birth in the 10^th century to today, Catalonia has constantly played an outstanding economic role within the framework of Mediterranean and European trade. Its own history and language form the basis of its collective identity, currently shared by its 7.5 million inhabitants.

The city enjoys a rich architectural and monumental heritage, with many UNESCO -listed landmarks. Complementing this is a very lively cultural agenda with world-class contemporary entertainment and popular festivals all year round.
