The leading Spanish congress cities are Barcelona and Madrid, but other cities also feature in the ICCA ranking, cities with great potential that are gradually attracting more and more international congresses.
Barceló Hotel Group is present in the most important cities in Spain and, following its expansion plan, it has incorporated new urban hotels that increase its offer for holiday and business tourism and of course for the MICE segment.
