465. Last 6th February we had the pleasure to attend the #EXPAT Networking event organised by the #BarcelonaCityCouncil. The event spoke about why Barcelona is a Cultural and Leisure Destination. 
Tackling the following: #GrossDomesticProduct, #ForeignInvestment, #Exports, #BusinessClimate, #Jobs and #Employment and #UnemploymentRates
they share with us a wonderful video showing all the landmarks, buildings and special cities one can only do in Barcelona. Their conclusion was: there is a Barcelona for everyone!

"It is undeniably wonderful to be able to show all the collections of our creative minds in a venue such as the Llotja, which exudes art, poise and majesty from every side. The Contracts Hall is the setting for the catwalk shows, the Golden Hall for the exhibitions and business meetings. The Library houses the showroom, and the Courtyard the presentation by the schools and the welcome from our sponsors.
 
It must be said that we believe that this edition is once again a reflection of the aim of 080 Barcelona Fashion, namely to serve as a meeting point for the sector and business.
 
An aim I believe we are fulfilling, from the converging business projects and ideas to the creations of our youngest designers, 080 Barcelona Fashion is home to committed enterprise and talent".

164. The Barcelona Museum of Contemporary Art known as MACBA is situated in the Plaça dels Àngels, in El Raval of Barcelona. The museum opened to the public on November 28, 1995. 

The permanent collection of around 5,000 works dates from the mid-20th century onward. There are three periods of modern art represented: the first one covers the forties to the sixties; the second spans the sixties and seventies; the third period is contemporary. The collections focus on post-1945 Catalan and Spanish art, although some International artists are also represented.
