Privileged location
Barcelona’s exceptional geographical location and infrastructures make it a city well connected with the rest of the world. Just a few cities in the world have an international airport, a port, and a platform for free trade and logistics activities within a radius of just five kilometers. Barcelona is one of them. It is also part of the Mediterranean Corridor, which crosses six European Union countries and covers more than 6,000 kilometers.
