Barcelona

Barcelona is the capital of the Autonomous Community of Catalonia, one of Spain’s richest and most modern regions. It is an avant-garde multicultural city with a considerable architectural and cultural heritage, where the works ofAntoni Gaudí and his Art Nouveau blend with the medieval architecture of the Gothic quarter. In short, its magnificent beaches, cultural life and lively nightlife make it one of Spain’s most attractive cities.

Enforex Barcelona is located in the Eixample district, next to La Rambla, one of Spain’s most emblematic boulevards, right in the city centre and close to most bus and metro lines. It is housed in a beautiful building constructed over 100 years ago and completely restored in 2003.
