Spain is a case in point, with tourist resources that seem so vast as to challenge even the most experienced traveller. Who, for example, can boast of having visited the <strong>44 Unesco World Heritage sites in Spain<\/strong> ? Or to have wandered the aisles of some <strong>1500 museums<\/strong> of a country that has produced cultural ambassadors such as Goya, Velasquez, Miro, Dali and Picasso? This inexhaustible cultural heritage opens up an almost inexhaustible range of possibilities for event organisers. They can transform a museum into a reception area, or include in their incentive programme a journey back in time, into the lair of the <strong>Cordoba mosque<\/strong> or in the majestic setting of a monastery. In fact, you don't need to go back centuries to appreciate the richness of this architectural heritage: <strong>more than fifty convention centres<\/strong> are dotted all over Spain, offering first-class MICE capacity and often bearing the signatures of major international stars, such as <strong>Norman Foster in Valencia<\/strong>. A fine setting for a company seminar... It's easy to see why Barcelona and Madrid are in the top ten. <strong>top 5 world ranking<\/strong> produced by the leading player in the field: the International Congress and Convention Association (ICCA).<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47229\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47229\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-47229 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Hotel-Marques-de-Riscal-Quim-Roser.jpg\" alt=\"The Marqu\u00e9s de Riscal hotel, designed by Frank Gehry\" width=\"700\" height=\"467\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Hotel-Marques-de-Riscal-Quim-Roser.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/Hotel-Marques-de-Riscal-Quim-Roser-300x200-derived.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47229\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">The Marqu\u00e9s de Riscal hotel, designed by Frank Gehry<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>While Spain's infrastructure for corporate clients is an important part of the destination's appeal - and the hotel sector has also been brought up to speed, like the Marqu\u00e9s de Riscal hotel - it is by no means enough to sum up Spanish MICE. After all, it's in the open air, and more often than not in the sunshine, that the Iberian treasures are best enjoyed. No fewer than <strong>8000 km of coastline<\/strong> offer an ideal playground for stimulating teams through all kinds of water-based activities, each at their own pace. Open to the sea - and to the ocean - the peninsula is nonetheless landward-looking, so business customers can explore on foot or by bike. <strong>Green Spain and its fifteen or so national parks<\/strong>or take a golf break between meetings.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_47231\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47231\" style=\"width: 700px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-47231 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/mil-catas-gastronomia.jpg\" alt=\"Hospitality and gastronomy: Spain&#039;s recipe for success\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/mil-catas-gastronomia.jpg 700w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/mil-catas-gastronomia-300x225-derived.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/mil-catas-gastronomia-80x60-derived.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.voyages-d-affaires.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/mil-catas-gastronomia-265x198-derived.jpg 265w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-47231\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Hospitality and gastronomy: Spain's recipe for success<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>And when the evening comes, at the end of this busy programme, Spain plays one of its trump cards: gastronomy...
