Besides being the base of leading engineering consultants across the world, Barcelona is also famous for its groundbreaking art and architecture.
As for the capital of Spain—Madrid, its excellent business facilities have long been esteemed as much as its infrastructure and culture.
Last but not least, Valencia, the third-largest city in Spain, houses one of the most vibrant seaports in Europe. Heading closer to the outskirts of the city, you will get to experience the historical Valencian heritage and the lively vibes of South American local communities.
