Spain

 

         A trip to Spain is a celebration of diversity, an opportunity to enjoy our excellent climate, excellent cuisine and joie de vivre. But also, it is a chance to discover our exceptional monumental heritage; to experience our unique, dazzling natural environment; to become acquainted with the customs of our people and to share with them their holiday celebrations and popular traditions.

         Barcelona, Madrid, Córdoba, Sevilla, Bilbao, Murcia are examples of the harmonious coexisence of tradition and modernitiy in every Spanish city. Spain has the highest number of historic urban compounds that have been declared World Heritage by UNESCO. Each of these cities is part of the rich, diverse cultural legacy of humankind throughout history. We also count with 4,000 km of coastline where the visitor can enjoy the sun and sea in gorgeus settings: from vast beaches with golden sands to hidden coves flanked by cliffs. Thirteen National Parks are deeply committed to the conservation and enjoyment of rich, diverse ecosystems found nowhere in Europe. A visit t Spain is worth while! 

 

Murcia

 

Murcia is situated in the Southeast of Spain, in the region of the same name. The latest population figures five a total of nearly 350,000 habitants. Murcia is situated 388 kms. from Madrid, 75 Kms. from Alicante and 220 kms. from Almería. The city enjoys all-the-year round sunshine, meaning that the climate is dry and temperature has a yearly average of 17,5 celsius degrees. It lies at a crossroads of routes and cultures, surrounded by a tapestry of greenery, a garland of flowers and fruit which have caused it to be known as the Market Garden of Europe.

 

The venue of the Conference will be the Facultad de Letras in the Campus de La Merced. This Campus is based in a convent built by the Brothers of Mercy in 1628 and it’s worth while popping into the cloister with its two levels of slender arches.
