It seems there have been a lot less conventions hbeing held in Madrid of recent people seem to be choosing cities like Paris and London over Madrid.If you are looking to hold a convention, conference or seminar choose Madrid!
If you have ever been to Manchester, you may have noticed a strange looking building with what looks like a ski slope on it’s inside. Actually, this is Urbis and it isn’t a ski slope. Fear not, if you like skiing there is a huge ski slope in Trafford! The architecture of Urbis reflects its modern, funky interior, full of art and expeditions.
My favourite aspect of Urbis last time I visited was its huge map showing UK takeaways and restaurants. Seeing that visual showed me the massive range and variety of food this country has to offer. Brilliant.
If food doesn’t float your boat, there are galleries and galleries of Art and if you’re lucky, you might even catch a fashion show. Urbis, remember the name!
Madrid offers conference goers great shopping opportunities whether it be at the designer boutiques, department stores, local specialist stores or the fabulous food markets there’s lots of variety to suit every taste. Be sure to make the effort to visit the different zones of the city and enjoy the wonderful sights and culture of the city. If you get lost or need a little direction the Madrid locals will show you the way.
As I do every summer, I was dropping by my neighbours house to feed their cat while they were catching some sun as they travelled to a Convention in Madrid. A normal visit usually consists of collecting the post, watering the plants, and feeding the cat before locking the door and skipping back to my little house. This time was slightly different, as I was picking up the post from the well-used welcome mat, I noticed an important looking letter marked with red ink. My good neighbour had told me that I was to open anything of this importance. As I did, my stomach turned. My friend’s house was going to be put through the process of repossession.
It was very strongly written and scared me, I suddenly realised that breaking this news to my friend who was enjoying their holiday and enjoying the Convention wasn’t the best but perhaps the only option I had. There was little hope as I had read somewhere that very same week about ways to prevent repossession.
I decided I had to tell them, luckily they were able to sort things out as soon as they got home. I will never forget that day, my experience of repossession wasn’t nice at all.
I don’t normally take time off work for a holiday, however this year I promised myself I was going to get away no matter what. I had found a brilliant house in the heart of Madrid, as soon as I saw it I knew that was the location for my break. I had only been once before years ago when I was invited to attend a madrid convention.So there I was, sipping fresh orange juice by the pool when my mobile phone started ringing. This was a bit of a shock, it hadn’t made a noise all week. It was bad news. My house renovations had been the subject of further developments and the workload had almost doubled. I panicked and immediately called my brother who got onto a skip hire london company who provided us with a solution. I owe a lot to him, he sorted the rest of the job out and now the house looks amazing.In terms of re-selling my house, the renovations were a game changer and in the current climate it is a huge advantage. When i do sell, I fancy a few more trips to Madrid!
