I have been on and led many corporate and group retreats over the last 16 years around Barcelona. This blog post serves primarily as a reminder for myself of some of the great locations that I have used.
(I will be adding to this post over time, so bookmark it and come back regularly when you are looking for new ideas. If you have run an event near Barcelona in a location that I have not listed, I would love to hear about the location!).
