The 17th VLDB Conference will be held in Barcelona, Catalonia (Spain).
Barcelona, settled since the 6th century B.C, is the capital city of
Catalonia, a country established in the 10th century. It has been
selected to host the next Olympic Games for good reasons: its
situation by the Mediterranean Sea, its climate, communications,
facilities, and cultural events. The Gothic quarter of Barcelona and
the Romanesque paintings at the Museum of Catalan Art are world
famous, but visitors to Catalonia can find works of art of many
different cultures, from Iberian and Roman, through Visigoth and
Jewish, to Modern Style -- such as Gaudi's Sagrada Familia church
featured in the Conference logo -- and contemporary art: Picasso,
Miro, Dali, Tapies,...
Barcelona is also known for its fine restaurants and a wide variety of
sports activities. The social program is planned to include the
banquet in a medieval building, and optional trips to the beaches of
the Costa Brava and to a winery.
