Doing business in Barcelona

Barcelona is one of Spain’s most popular cities. Located directly on the mediterranean sea with its many progressive and art nouveau buildings, it is one of the most beautiful cities in Europe. Many would say this metropolitan city is a jewel of the mediterranean.

It boasts one of the busiest seaports in the World. Many cruiseships dock here and visitors are abundant from all over the globe. Many foreigners decide to move to Barcelona after a few visits. The expat community in Catalunya is quite large and diverse. The options for working and living in this city are endless. Some decide to spend a few months a year here, when it is cold back North and others even stay full-time. Starting a business in Spain is very popular for foreign residents. You will see in our Business Directory that these range from friendly bars to highly professional consulting services.

Visitors and residents alike will have no trouble finding good restaurants, hotels, nightclubs, tourism attractions, or just generally letting themselves be entertained while here. And if you ever get bored or just want to meet some other people, come and have a chat on our Spain forum and remember next time you need a doctor, a lawyer or perhaps even a new wardrobe - come and visit our Barcelona Business Directory and you will be sure to find one! And for all you new Barcelona Business Starters, we offer you the chance to list your company for free or advertise for a small fee.

Monthly meetings form the center of our activities, and act as a meeting point for members and new arrivals. Meetings are free, open to all and conducted in a very relaxed atmosphere. Talks may be in English or Spanish and the two languages are encouraged to co-exist in our environment. (The restaurant or space where we meet may charge a small amount for its services).
