This is what makes Spain such a prized Destination Worldwide.

THE CITIES

The old cities, with their castles, cathedral & monasteries and their typical quarters, are rich in history.

The diversity and contrast that go to mould the character of Spain are likewise in evidence in its cities.

And there are still other cities that look out to sea and are confronted by the mirror image of their own beauty. Shoreside cities, elegant and charming.

They bear traces of different civilizations and preserve the tradition and heritage of centuries.

BARCELONA

The Mediterranean metropolis and the site of the 1.992 Olympic Games, is something vital and memorable to everybody that visits it. It is new and it is old and it is incredibly alive. Barcelona will give your Incentive winners everything they could want and much more, and it is the right place for organizing a Conference, a Congress or a Convention. Barcelona is probably one of the best destinations in Europe.

MARBELLA & COSTA DEL SOL

The glitter and the hype of the Costa del Sol are concentrated along Marbella’s 28 kilometers of beaches, luxury hotels, marinas, country clubs and exclusive discos. The Costa del Sol is the perfect choice for motivating people who dream of spending a holiday at a glamorous European playground.

MADRID

More than the nation’s capital and its largest city, Madrid is Spain’s melting pot. All Spanish roads lead to Madrid where kilometer zero lies in the capital’s grandiosely named Puerta del Sol, the Gateway of the Sun. Madrid is open and endearing. Bustling, unpretentious, its old quarter is a winding maze of simple harmony, surrounded by elegant civic buildings, parks and boulevards.

SEVILLA

Sevilla really came into its own with the discovery of the New World, when the city became the clearing house for all the transatlantic trade and prospered immensely. The city of Sevilla standing on the river Guadalquivir, is considered by many to be the very personification of Spanish identy.

MALLORCA

The island of Majorca is a classic exemple of the principle of small is beautiful. Nowadays, tourism, while hugely important to Majorca’s economy, has by no means taken over the island.

TENERIFE

The largest of the Canary Islands, Tenerife is dominated by Spain’s highest Teide mountain. The island has gradually built up a long experience of dealing with tourists and taken on a totally cosmopolitan flavour.

BILBAO

It was founded in 1300 by Diego López de Haro and its old quarter is situated on the right bank of the Nervión river. The left bank, with its wide avenues and civic buildings developed rapidly in the 19th century as Bilbao became a prosperous manufacturing & financial centre.

SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA

This is one of Spain´s great historical cities, in many ways the greatest for during the Middle Ages it was, together with Jerusalem & Rome, one of the three holy cities of Christendom. It is indissolubly linked to Santiago, Saint James de Apostle, the patron saint of Spain.

VALENCIA

A busy & bustling city, the largest in Spain after Madrid & Barcelona. It has forever been associated with oranges and also with rice in general and paella in particular. Valencia´s rich agriculture is the magnificent legacy of its more than five centuries of Muslim occupation.

JEREZ DE LA FRONTERA

Jerez has a privileged spot in Andalucia situated between the mountains of southern Spain and the Atlantic Ocean beaches of Cadiz. It is a modernized ancient city with castles and cathedrals among vast vineyards and green grazing grounds. Most famous Jerez is for its world famous wines and horses. A proof of the this are its wine cellars, Jerez´s own excellent Sherry wine and the Alcázar arab fortress.

CÁDIZ

For the visitor in search of relaxation an culture, Cadiz can offer two of the best ingredients, magnificent beaches and a past that goes back to ancient times, a past indelibly stamped with the imprint of those far-off Phoenician merchants who settled here, making it the oldest city in Western Europe. Possibly one of the most important aspect of the city’s historical heritage must be its ties with the New World, and the ensuing cross-cultural exchange and trade between the two.

SAN SEBASTIÁN

San Sebastián, situated in the centre of the Basque Country, is the capital of the province of Gipuzkoa with three beaches opening out onto the sea. The city is superbly located at the mouth of the Río Uremea and around the beautiful Bahía de la Concha. There are splendid views from both hills, but the best is from the top of Monte Igueldo to which there is a funicular railway. At the foot of the other wooded mound, Monte Urgull, are the harbour and crowded older part.

LA CORUÑA

A Coruña strategic situation on the far west corner of Spain at the entrance to the Ártabro Gulf, bathed by the waters of the mighty Atlantic Ocean, mixes its air of modern metropolis with the ancient roman roots of its foundation. Today, the city combines the tranquility of its Old Quarter with the hustle and bustle of the port area and El Ensanche, the heart of the modern town.

ALICANTE

Alicante is the gateway to and capital of the Costa Blanca. It is the second most important city in the Valencian community. It boasts a nice climate with mild winters & warm summers. The city was called Lucentum by the romans, referring to its luminosuty & it was granted the status of city by King Fernando el Católico in 1.490. Watched over by the Castillo de Santa Bárbara, it its a tourist resort in its own right as well as a busy port.
