Trade Fairs

In the centre of Spain and of the Iberian Peninsula one finds the emblematic city of Madrid.

This is one of the main industrial centres in Spain, together with Barcelona, and it has become a remarkable cultural, political and business space.

BEFORE YOU GO, GET TO KNOW THE CITY

With the death of General Franco in 1975, Spain began its transition to a democratic regime, with the consequent legalization of political parties and with free elections, that took place in 1977.

In 1986, Spain joined the European Community (now the European Union) and was one of the founding members of the EU’s economic and monetary union in 1999.

Spain is a constitutional monarchy, with Philip VI as the current king. Like Germany, Spain is one of the most decentralized countries in the EU, however, the autonomy of Catalonia and the Basque Country has generated some political tension.

Madrid, as the capital of the country, is also the seat of the government and of the Spanish monarchy. With about 3.3 million inhabitants and a metropolitan area of 6.5 million inhabitants, Madrid spans the Manzanares River and is one of the most relevant centres of Spain, not only political but also economically and culturally.

If you are going on a business trip to Madrid and still have some spare time, take advantage of the numerous cultural offerings of this city. From historical monuments, museums and galleries, to theatres, parks and gardens, in Madrid, you will find a vibrant and quite varied destination.
