Dear partners, Have you ever wondered what the secret of a perfect trip is? We ask ourselves this question every morning. Jordi Cañadillas, our Product Manager & Graphic Designer would say the secret is being creative, providing unique and special services. However, Kiran Mansharamani, our Business Development Manager, thinks the secret is looking after each and every detail personally, while Iván Surinder, our restless chef, is sure the secret is using the best ingredients one has: experience, passion & hard work. I, myself, would say that secrets should not be disclosed. What if a magician shared its tricks? What if a cook divulged all the ingredients of its recipes? So, let our clients enjoy the professionalism in its true form. At Warq Events we’re convinced that Spain has many secrets that we will keep unveiling gradually. We are keen travelers ourselves and are always eager to discover the many possibilities our country offers. It is this nature what allows us to grow and become experts in our territory. We love making our clients feel they’re part of a treasure hunt, it’s how we reflect our passion for work. Hence, we have developed a range of programs that can satisfy our clients’ needs and requirements. These programs reveal how magnificent Spain is. You have in your hands the key to discover an unknown Spain, a hidden Spain. Please, don’t tell anyone, it’s our secret… Looking forward to a good partnership with you in this journey!
Vicens Cases President & General Manager
Spain Spain is a multicultural and rich country located in South–Western Europe. Any other country in the world combines in such a small surface the diversity that characterizes Spain. Stunning nature, fine arts, exceptional festivals, delicious cuisine and even any kind of activities and sports find their place in this amazing country that is a continent itself. Moving around Spain is going from the harsh North to the passionate South; from the sheer coasts of the Cantabrian Sea to the arid fields of Castilla – La Mancha; from the brave festivities of San Fermín to the religious fervour of Corpus Christi. This is a country of contrasts but as well of richness and a wide range of options to make your visit an incomparable experience. Spaniards meet the definition of bon-vivants as they know better than anyone the art of living the good life. Every single moment is an excuse for a celebration that ends up turning into a culinary feast. The obsession with food and wine has its explanation in the broad variety of ingredients that make each meal a treat for the palate. Creativity in the gastronomic experience is a must and Spanish cuisine moves from the most traditional recipes to the Michelin-starred chefs that introduce the latest trends in cooking. Spain, in a few words, can be defined as a genuine journey through the senses.
