Football, films and fairs - 3 reasons to celebrate
The big weekend news for football fans in the city was FC Barcelona being declared league champions with two rounds left to play. They've played some excellent football throughout the season and coach Frank Rykard is establishing a great record (lucky the club didn't get rid off him at the end of 2003 when the team was underperforming). Close to a million people turned out on the streets on Sunday to cheer the team as they travelled around the city in an open double decker bus.Woody Allen says he wants to shoot his next film in Barcelona. This is sure to boost Barcelona's on screen presence. 2004 was a record year for filming in and around the city.
An an article in the IHT today reports that Barcelona is attracting trade fairs, conferences and exhibitions away from Cannes. With recent investments made by the city in new infrastructure for conferences, lots of new hotels and the cities growing popularity as a short break destination in Europe, this is a business segment that can be expected to prosper in coming years.
