Geographical context and location

Barcelona, located 150 km (90 miles) south of the French border, is Spain’s major Mediterranean port and commercial centre and is famed for its individuality, cultural interest and physical beauty.

The region enjoys a very strategic location as a crossroads between Europe, Latin America, North Africa and the Middle East. This location is leveraged by the region’s state-of-the-art transport infrastructure.

The region has a very strong, diversified and firmly rooted industrial base and is a major tourist destination. Catalonia ranks among the leading places considered good to do business in, with a strongly internationalised economy and a long tradition as a favourite destination for direct foreign investment, with more than 3,000 multinationals operating in the country.

The estates have a privileged location at the heart of the province of Barcelona, with a direct connection to the AP-7 motorway less than 5 minutes’ drive away. The estates are twenty minutes by car from Barcelona city centre and half an hour from “El Prat” international airport. The distance and time to some of the major points:

“El Prat” international airport is the only airport of Barcelona. It is the tenth largest airport in Europe, with 35 million passengers in 2012, capacity for up to 90 operations per hour and 137 destinations on five continents, including direct flights to London, New York, Miami, Tunis, Cairo, Dubai, Doha, Istanbul, Singapore, Beijing, Bogotá or São Paulo, operated by the best airlines in the world.

Barcelona is also very well connected by train, with high-speed lines to Madrid (2 h 30 min) and Paris (6 h 20 min), which run several trains per day.
