Another Reason to Visit Barcelona: Joan Miró Foundation

Arts and culture in Barcelona: Spanish drawings from the Hispanic Society

The Catalonia National Art Museum, in Barcelona, presents an exhibition on the drawings which the New York Hispanic Society is releasing on loan for the first time in its history.

The exhibition contains some of the most outstanding examples from the Hispanic Society’s own collection of drawings. Thanks to a recent statute change in this institution, allowing its collection to be released on loan, this is the first time that the drawings can be seen outside the Society’s headquarters. The exhibition presents an intense journey through the history of drawing in Spain, with works by some of its main artists, such as Alonso Cano, José de Ribera, Claudio Coello, Murillo, and, above all, Francisco de Goya.

Tourism of Businesses in Spain: Barcelona between the designated cities

Gijón will design a national strategy with other eight cities to catch tourism of congresses The president of the Spain Convention Bureau emphasizes in the city that the cost that they generate the trips of businesses almost doubles to the vacacional “43% of the work meetings become in emergent localities”, says to Jose Maria Perezmaletin.jpgThe denominated tourism of business, the one that promotes the celebration of congresses, days, seminaries and meetings of work, has in the last become years an emergent activity. As much and to such rate, that not only it already generates a volume of occupation superior to the vacacional tourism, but that it causes an economic benefit far beyond the one of the summer visitors. Thus they jointly confirmed the president of the Mixed Society of Tourism of Gijón, Jose Maria Perez, and the president of Spain Convention Bureau (SCB), organism of the Spanish Federation of Municipalities and Provinces, Francisco Candle, that maintained yesterday in Gijón the second annual meeting of its history.

“At this moment, 53% of the travellers who arrive at the city do it by reasons for work”, affirmed to Jose Maria Perez have acquired “an important weight”. That local circumstance was corroborated with national numbers by the SCB president, that not only authenticated the percentage of work visits, but that illustrated it with gains: “The tourism of meetings far beyond generates a cost the vacacional, 165 euros by person and day, as opposed to the 95 of those who move fundamentally in summer”. And to say of the socialist edile, the position of Gijón is reinforced before the future every time “43% of the tourist activities of this type are celebrated in emergent cities, like ours, as opposed to 7% of 10 years ago”. That constant growth, generated by a technological evolution that constantly forces to recycle knowledge, has forced to Spain Convention Bureau, organism constituted by the councils of Tourism of 43 Spanish city councils, to open its expectations of work beyond the municipal competitions. “We have decided to initiate an opening process to transform this network of cities into one more a structure more integrating with the Administration, autonomic as as much state, and the deprived sector”, announced Francisco Candle, that added that “to develop all the potentialities of Spain as destiny of tourism of congresses is necessary to add to all the interested ones”. Among them the Institute of Tourism of Spain, with which the SCB finishes reaching an agreement to make market studies and to develop a plan of joint operation. And to start up its process of opening, the Spain Convention Bureau has designated a commission of nine cities, Gijón, Barcelona, San Sebastián, Seville, Madrid, River basin, Valencia, Valladolid and Santiago de Compostela, that will be a year old for “making a coherent proposal”.
