This event has been changed due to the access limitations to the Sagrada Familia cathedral. Access is permited in small groups, that, givben the number of registered members, would have meant scattering in groups in a span of time covering the whole day.

5 Gold Alliance Amstel 336, 1017AS Amsterdam | [email protected] | www.goldalliance.org HISTORY OF THE HOST CLUBS

Círculo del Liceo

Opened in November 1847 – half a year after the inauguration of the Gran Teatre del Liceu – the club offers its members an elegant setting made up of numerous and decorated rooms with outstanding examples of Art Nouveau – city’s scenic overlooks, conference room and auditions, a restaurant, a library and other services.

The exuberant modernist decoration that abounds in most of the rooms is made up of an important collection of artistic works, especially pain- tings and sculptures, with a high artistic value and in an excellent state of preservation. In 2010, e.g., a set of engravings by Antoni Tàpies dedicated to Richard Wagner were incorporated to redecorate the old game room on the second floor.

Due to the proximity to the Gran Teatre del Liceu (both adjacent buildings) and to their common origins there is a good part of members who owned the Barcelona’s Coliseum until 1995 therefore they usually attend operas and concerts of Barcelona’s lyrical space

Círculo Ecuestre

Since it was founded in 1856, the Círculo Ecuestre has represented this spirit in Catalonia. It has become a key institution in the professional and personal life of the people of Barcelona and one of the private clubs of greatest renown in Europe.

Catalan civil society has needed places where its dynamism was soothed by exclusive treatment and facilities.

It has been Barcelona, essentially, which has accommodated those spaces where people with shared interests have found a common space to cultivate their hobbies: a private business club, exclusive and cosmo- politan, where leisure and business, excellent cuisine and exercise are perfectly combined.

Furthermore the institution, as a fundamental institution of Catalan civil society, aims to become a useful tool in the service of the country’s businesses.
