Concerning the city, Barcelona is world wide famous for the modernist architecture, mainly represented by the temple of Sagrada Familia (very close to the Event building) and Parc Güell (both due to the architect Antonio Gaudí). Indeed, the Metamaterials Week will be held in Casa Convalescència, which is another example of this architectonic style, this being one of the reasons for choosing this place to held the event. Barcelona is also very well connected by flight or trains with most of the European cities, the whether is usually temperate in winter and it provides a good atmosphere to visitors.
