Bilbao
PREFERENCE EVENTS is a Paris-based events agency that organises seminars, incentive trips and VIP tours in Bilbao and Spain.
Major avant-garde architectural projects have been the driving force behind Bilbao’s development. Franck Gehry’s breathtaking titanium-plate Guggenheim Museum, Norman Foster’s metro and Calatrava’s airport are just a few examples of the city’s dynamism and appeal. But Bilbao also has an attractive historic centre and is the ideal starting point for discovering Spain’s Basque coast and the Rioja region, where it is said that ‘where there are no vines, there are bottles’ during a company, press or client trip. This region of northern Spain, with its internationally renowned wines, is innovating for 21st century wine tourism, combining avant-garde creations with epicurean pleasures, and will delight the participants in your seminar or convention.
Bilbao is an original destination for organising a seminar in Spain, combining the sea, gastronomy and architecture. If you’re organising an incentive or client trip, opt for a combination with the discovery of the exceptional Rioja wine region.
