Planning a company event in Catalonia
Catalonia gives a company event two settings at once: Barcelona, one of Europe’s main congress cities, and a countryside of vineyards, masias and mountains within easy reach. Groups often hold the working days in the city and move to a wine estate or a country house for a retreat or a gala dinner.
When to go
Spring and autumn suit most programmes, and Barcelona stays mild in winter. July and August are hot and the city is full of visitors, while many local businesses slow down in August. Large trade fairs, Mobile World Congress in late winter above all, fill Barcelona’s hotels, so check the fair calendar before fixing dates.
Getting the team there
Barcelona-El Prat has direct flights from across Europe and many long-haul routes. High-speed trains reach Barcelona Sants from Madrid and from France, which suits groups that prefer rail. Coaches take the group on to the Penedès, Montserrat or the Girona countryside.
City hotels and country estates
Barcelona has conference hotels, modernista buildings and seafront venues for large groups. In the countryside, masias and wine estates rent in exclusive use for smaller teams, with meeting rooms in old barns or cellars. Rooms on site vary a great deal, so check capacity for overnight stays.
Activities
Cava and wine tastings in the Penedès, a visit to Montserrat, cooking workshops around Catalan cuisine and sailing in Barcelona are common choices. In the city, guided walks around Gaudí’s buildings fit between sessions. Dinner is late, so plan evening events accordingly.
