Meeting News - March 9, 2009 - (Page P6) Destination Diary Europe Lisbon Budapest clifftop above Funchal Bay; Quinta da Bela Vista in the mountains on two and a half acres of exotic gardens; and the elegant oceanfront Savoy Resort. If the Mediterranean is more to your attendees’ tastes, the thriving port city of Barcelona is Spain’s second largest city, paying tribute to its Roman roots while remaining solidly in the 21st century with a cosmopolitan flair centered around its vibrant nightlife, arts, and architecture. The compact city offers multiple venues for meetings and conventions, such as the Fira de Barcelona, with more trade show space than any other site in Spain. A must in the walkable city is the main pedestrian street La Rambla, lined with boutiques, cafes, and flower stalls, an ideal setting for people-watching. The city’s artistic heritage plays out both inside and outside, most notably with the Picasso Museum (the artist spent many of his early years in Barcelona), and several examples of Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí’s work, including La Sagrada Familia, Gaudi’s unfinished masterpiece, which he worked on from 1882 until his death in 1926. Treasures of the Riviera An even more compact Mediterranean meeting site is the principality of Monaco and its glittering Monte Carlo. Given the high profile of Monaco’s residents and visitors, it’s no surprise that the prestigious setting is particularly compelling when security might be an issue: In addition to one police officer per every one hundred inhabitants, a 24-hour surveillance system covers the entire principality.
