5.1 GENERAL OVERVIEW

Barcelona has progressed in recent years, becoming one of the most attractive business destinations in Europe. Today, the city is a very interesting place for new business activities. International indicators and testimonies confirm that Barcelona is an excellent location and an attractive business city because of:

• Its strategic location As a Spanish city and capital of the Catalonian region, Barcelona is located on the Mediterranean coast. It is the Seat of Parliament for the Catalonian Government (Generalitat). It is said to have been founded by the Carthaginian Amílcar Barca, who gave it his name: Barcino Augustus made it a Roman colony, and it was a languid place until the Visigoths made it their own capital city between 415 and 431. At the end of the XVIII century, the city experienced a progressive population increase parallel to its industrial and cultural booms, thus achieving the high growth and development levels that define the city today. From 17th October 1986, when it was stated as home to the XXV Olympic Games until its celebration ( from 25th July to 9th August in 1992 ), the city was redeveloped and improved in a special way: ring roads were created, and projects were undertaken around the Olympic ring, the Olympic Village and the marina. The most important cities in Catalonia are Girona (90 km, North of Barcelona), Tarragona (100 km to the South) and Lleida (150 km to the West of the capital city). These three cities are joined by an excellent network of motorways, roads and railways with Barcelona.

• A complete transportation infrastructure • A dynamic economy with sustained growth • Huge projects for the future • A successful international investment • A technology-oriented culture • Human resources prepared for the future • Extraordinary public and private co- operation • Excellent quality of life The economy of Barcelona is characterized by its diversification in many sectors of economic activity mostly in services, but with a significant industrial base in comparison with other European metropolises. Catalonia generates 20% of the Spanish GDP and has a per capita GDP 22% higher than that of the European Union. Barcelona is the 4th city in the ranking of the best cities for business, according to the Cushman & Wakefield 2010 report, and the fifth European city with the best business prospects, according to the journal FDi of the Financial Times group.

Leisure and Culture With its strong Mediterranean character, Barcelona is a city with an abundance of leisure activities and considerable public participation. The people of Barcelona use their free time to stroll in its parks, play on its beaches, visit its exhibition rooms and meet in its cafés. The city’s intense associative life also contributes to enriching its inhabitants’ leisure time. Barcelona truly comes alive at night, when the majority of social and cultural activities occur. Barcelona residents love to attend concerts and theatrical productions, eat out in one of the cities’ many great restaurants, as well as head out to music venues, bars and clubs. On the Barcelona Town Hall’s website there is a wide range of links about services and activities: www.bcn.es

Languages

Gastronomy

Interesting websites about Barcelona

The two official languages spoken in Barcelona and the rest of the Catalonian region are Castilian (also known as Spanish) and the Catalonian language. Both languages are spoken equally by the inhabitants of Barcelona and the Catalonian region.

Catalonian cuisine, Mediterranean par excellence, is based on organic and seasonal products. Olive oil, vegetables, fruit, fish and fresh seafood, great meat, pastries and a wide range of high-quality wines are the basic elements of our gastronomy. The quality of these products and the manner in which they are combined make our cuisine rich and healthy, simple and varied, natural and refined, modest and diversified, modern and traditional, with smooth and contrasted tastes, delicious and suggestive..... There is also a wide range of international gastronomy in Barcelona; French, Italian, Japanese, Chinese, fast food, etc. Currently, Barcelona is recognized as one of the world’s culinary meccas, thanks to the excellence and international acclaim of some of its chefs (Ferran Adriá, May Hoffman, Sergi Arola,etc.).

Barcelona has always been a city that lives and loves sports. Thanks to the celebration of the 1992 Olympic Games (considered the best in history), a fourth of Barcelona’s inhabitants currently practise some sport on a regular basis and have included sports among their usual activities. Moreover, the City Council promotes and provides sports at all levels: from amateur to professional levels, from school-aged to the elderly, from marathons to summer activities. It builds and refurbishes sports centres, equips neighbourhood outdoor spaces and schools, provides access to a healthier lifestyle through the practising of sport and consolidates Barcelona’s international role as a Sports City.

Shopping Whether you are looking for the latest trends in fashion, modern or traditional ceramics, best-sellers or secondhand books, small traditional shops, street markets or modern shopping centres, Barcelona has it all. From something classic to the utterly outrageous, you will find the perfect gift for your loved ones or for yourself; in this city the choices seem endless. In the city centre, shops are usually open the whole day Mondays to Saturdays from 10:00 a.m. to 10:30 p.m. In other areas of the city, stores are usually open from Monday to Saturday between 9:00 and 10:oo a.m. to 8:30 p.m., although they close at lunch time. Some are closed on Saturday afternoons. On Sundays, all shops are usually closed in Barcelona. The big shopping centres are usually open from 9:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., from Mondays to Saturdays. Also, keep in mind that shops which are not near the city centre are usually closed in August. Tancat means “closed” in Catalan. If you start your tour at the heart of the city, Plaza Cataluña, you will find the shopping centre El Triangle and FNAC, a book and music store. In this store you can get concert tickets, develop rolls of film and find all kinds of books, CDs, films, games, etc. In this shopping centre you can also find Habitat, which sells home articles, delicious ice cream from Dino’s; Sephora is a vast makeup and perfume store that also sells watches, candles, glasses and much more… Crossing the square, there is one of several of the city’s El Corte Inglés department stores; this is one of the most iconic Spanish stores where you will find everything you need and even some food from your own country in the groceries section. You can walk from Plaza Cataluña to the beach along the Portal de L’Ángel, the street that leads to the Cathedral and where you will find several shoe stores, jewellery stores, perfume shops, etc. You can also walk down the Ramblas and take in the flower stalls and portrait artists. Take some time to visit the Mercat de la Boquería, also known as the Mercat de Sant Josep; it is the most colourful market in Barcelona. You can find all kinds of traditional, fresh Spanish food as well as international cuisine at La Rambla 91 (closed on Sundays and bank holidays). Do not expect to find fresh fish and seafood on Mondays, and don’t bother looking for it, as there is no fishing on Sundays. El Raval is all along Las Ramblas (on the right side if you are facing the sea). This neighbourhood is home to a number of second-hand and retro music stores. This area has progressively gained in popularity, showing the rest of the city that big shopping centres are not the only way of rejuvenating a neighbourhood in Barcelona. There are quite good restaurants near Doctor Dou and

Carme streets, where you can enjoy a bite after a day spent shopping in the neighbourhood. For designer shopping, again the starting point is Plaza Catalunya; but this time head up to the Passeig de Gràcia, one of the grandest and most luxurious streets in Barcelona; it could be compared to (perhaps on a smaller scale) New York’s 5th Avenue or the Champs Elysées in Paris. The large, sophisticated shop windows in the elegant modern buildings of the area create a huge contrast with the small and labyrinth-like streets of the Barrio Gótico. This wide boulevard fills the modern architecture spaces among the famous buildings with national and international designer stores. Parallel to Passeig de Gràcia, you can also wander under the shadow of the trees in Rambla de Catalunya, which also has a variety of shops and cafés, where you can take a load off on your way back to Plaça Catalunya. Passeig de Gràcia and Rambla Catalunya are located in the Eixample district. Browsing around L’Eixample, you can find galleries, gourmet stores, stationary shops, jewellery stores and more. Among the large shopping centres are: Centro comercial Maremágnum www.maremagnum.es Centro comercial Barcelona Glòries www.lesglories.com Centro comercial Illa Diagonal www.lilla.com El Corte Inglés www.elcorteingles.es

e-business location. It is among the cities with the world’s highest quality of life, due in large part to its location on the Mediterranean Coast; from Moll de la Fusta, and the Palacio del Mar area to the Rambla del Mar and the Puerto Olímpico area. In addition, beaches such as Sant Sebastià, la Barceloneta, Nova Icària, Bogatell, Mar Bella and Nova Mar Bella, span more than four kilometres and receive nearly seven million visitors each year. To make your day at the beach even more enjoyable, all kinds of equipment and services are provided. The city stands out because of its museums, which house a valuable cultural heritage of works from universal artists and architects such as Gaudí, Picasso, Miró and Tàpies. Apart from the permanent exhibitions and a wide range of temporary exhibits, the city’s museums offer a variety of activities. Routes and night tours, workshops for schools, courses and a series of conferences and live music have changed the notion of a museum into a place of cultural activity in the city. Barcelona is a city rich in tradition, and when there is a celebration, Barcelona residents participate actively. Many citizens look forward to the street festivals, Carnivals, the Fiestas de Santa Eulàlia, Sant Jordi, Sant Joan, and the Epiphany parade. And when new festivals are added, city residents respond with enthusiasm. Associations are very important in the city and result in groups which focus on cultural activities: castellers, devils and giants groups from the different areas of Barcelona. Neighbourhood Associations, cultural groups and districts work together to ensure that these festivities are continually in demand, not only for the neighbours who decorate the streets, but also for all citizens and visitors.

Barcelona: the ideal city for training and work In an economic climate stressed by deceleration and amid global uncertainties, Barcelona has rated: 1st European city in quality of living for employees (European Cities Monitor,2011), 6th most attractive European city for business (European Cities Monitor,2011), 2nd world city in the organization of international meetings (International Congress & Convention Assoc. 2010). Barcelona’s economy relies heavily on the service industry, which amounts to around 80% of all jobs; but the industrial sector in the metropolitan area is also important. This diversification of the productive economy has been accompanied by a notable ability to adapt to new dynamics among sectors. To give an idea of the scope of industry in the city, Barcelona is the headquarters for 458,918 companies, 14% of the Spanish total. They are mainly SMEs (99.7%), which are characterized by their greater flexibility and ability to adapt to complex environments. The rate of entrepreneurship (6.7%) is higher than the European (5.8%) and Spanish (5.1%) averages. A total of 6,233 companies were created in Barcelona in 2009 and the city has the highest rate of businesses created per 1000 inhabitants of all large Spanish urban areas. The rate of business regeneration, measured by comparing the number of businesses closed to that of new businesses starting, is more favorable in the province of Barcelona (26%) than in Catalonia (39%), the European Union (49%) and Spain (62%).

5.3 ARRIVING IN BARCELONA By plane

Aerobus

The main national and international airline companies operate out of El Prat International Airport (website: www.aena.es). It connects the city with more than 100 destinations in Spain and the rest of the world. It is located 13km from the city centre to the southeast of the city.

The aerobus connects the airport to the city centre. It runs every 15 minutes. You can take the aerobus at the airport and get off at Plaza Catalunya in the city centre. From there you can take the Metro.

Girona-Costa Brava International Airport is one hour to the north of Barcelona. From Barcelona airport there are several ways to reach the city centre:

By train RENFE train services (www.renfe.es) between the Terminal 2 of the airport and the city centre operate every 30 minutes with stops at Estación de Sants and Plaza Catalunya, in the city centre. Once there, you can use the Barcelona underground system known as the Metro. http://www.aena-aeropuertos.es/csee/Satellite/ Aeropuerto-Barcelona/en/Page/1045569607511/1045569 607347/ Given this context, vocational training is taking a leading role among corporations in Barcelona and Catalonia, and it has fostered a large quantity of firstlevel training programs among the business schools in the city. Catalonia has 11 universities, seven of which are located in metropolitan Barcelona, plus Business Schools that offer nationally and internationally renowned administration and management business programs. The rate of employment growth in this economic landscape is the result, among other factors, of the city’s active efforts and the multiplying effect that big investment projects have had in the creation of jobs.

The train leaves you about five minutes from the main airport entrance. It takes around 30 minutes from the airport to Estación de Sants or Plaza Catalunya, and, from there, you can take the underground. RENFE www.renfe.es/ Information: +34 902 240 202 http://www.aena-aeropuertos.es/csee/Satellite/AeropuertoBarcelona/en/Page/1045569607511/1045569607347/

Taxi Taxis are a convenient and affordable way to reach the city centre from the airport, especially if you are traveling with your family or with heavy luggage. You will find a taxi stop at the exit of the main gate of each airport terminal. It takes between 20 and 30 minutes to get to the city centre depending on the traffic. There is an additional charge for every piece of luggage. The fares will be posted inside the taxi.

These are important factors that students should take into account when estimating a budget to come study in Barcelona.

There is a wide range of banks in Barcelona and ATMs are plentiful. Most of the ATMs allow customers to withdraw money using an international VISA, charging the corresponding service charge (which is between 3€ and 5€).

5.9 TELEPHONE To make calls abroad to landlines or cell phones, you must dial 00 and then the international code, followed by the phone number. In most countries you omit the regional or city code (the first digit). If you do not have a landline at home, you can use public phone booths or private ones, where the cost of the call is quite low. These places sell phone cards. Follow the instructions to make low cost calls around the world. Unlike in France and England, it is not possible to receive calls at the public booth. If you own a cell phone and you want to use it in Barcelona, you can get a pay-as-you-go card that you can recharge. This SIM card substitutes your SIM card from your own country (only in European countries). Thus, you can avoid paying the international rate if you get calls from abroad. SIM cards are sold in any store or in cell phone stores. There are a wide range of phone companies; if the student wants to, he or she can opt for a cell phone contract or a pay-as-you-go one, depending on his/her needs.

Univers card Thanks to an EAE and UPC agreement, our students can enjoy discounts which are offered with the card. With this card, you can pay for activities related to culture, sports or discounts in other participating places. CLUB UNIVERS www.univers.upc.edu There are several indoor and outdoor pools, bowling alleys, ice-skating rinks, tennis courts, squash courts, athletics tracks, gyms, golf courses, horse riding schools, sailing schools, etc. Univers is the cultural and sport association of UPC. To use the sport facilities the student should get a Univers card after paying an annual fee and the sports centre monthly fee, with which you can use the facilities and enjoy all kind of offers and free cultural and sports activities. It is possible to do different activities at the facilities and use the fitness room, Jacuzzi, hydro-massage and sauna.

5.10 LEISURE Barcelona is a multicultural city that offers both residents and visitors a wide range of activities: cinemas, concerts, theatre, museums, architecture, photography, exhibitions as well as tours or visits to nearby towns. There are also a great variety of restaurants, pubs and night clubs for everyone and every budget. We recommend the GuĂa del Ocio, which is published every Friday and is sold in kiosks or newsagents. This guide highlights the main activities, exhibitions, and shows of the week. In Barcelona, there are many night clubs and pubs open until the early hours. As dinner is eaten later in Spain, clubs do not begin to fill up until about 1:00 a.m. There is one day of the week at the cinemas known as spectatorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s day (usually on Wednesdays, but it can vary according to the cinema) that offers cheaper tickets.

5.11 TRANSPORTATION

There are different kinds of special taxis: from all-purpose to transporting passengers with special needs as well as special services to escort or collect children from schools. Contact the taxi companies to enquire about these services.

Metro

Below are some Radio taxi companies:

There is a good public transport system in Barcelona which is relatively cheap and offers different means of transport, depending on the users’ needs. Multi-trip cards are also available. These cards can be bought at the metro station or at the tobacconist, among other places.

• T-10: a 10-trip card on different means of transport (metro, bus, tram, Ferrocarrils, local Renfe trains). • T-Día: an unlimited number of trips on any means of transport for a whole day. • T-Mes: Unlimited trips for 30 days on any means of transport. • T50-30: 50 trips on any means of transport for 30 days.

TRAIN The train is another transportation option. Trains in Barcelona offer great service, are convenient and goe all around the city and along the coast. There are two main stations: Estación de Sants and Plaza Catalunya. There are several stations where you can take both the train and the metro, such as Plaza Espanya, Passeig de Gràcia and Arc de Triomf. Discounts may be available with the international student card.

buses Within Barcelona, the network of city and intercity buses is extensive. The same card that is used in the metro can also be used. Barcelona also provides a night bus service called “Nit Bus”; it departs from Plaza Catalunya and each line has a different schedule. They usually run from approximately 11:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. (to see timetable and routes: www.tmb.net). We recommend visiting Montserrat Mountains, the amusement park Mediterranean Port Aventura, the Costa Brava and Gold Coast beaches (in summer) and the Catalonian and Aragon Pyrenees ski resorts (in winter), as well as a great number of historical cities, easy accessible by public transport (cities like Girona, Tarragona, Zaragoza, Valencia, Perpignan, Vic, Reus, Montpellier ,etc.)

Taxis Taxis in Barcelona are unmistakable because of their colours: yellow and black. A taxi is available when the green light is on, they can be caught on the street.
