This type of rural construction, also known as a masada, is typical of eastern Spain and southern France, originating in the ancient Roman villas. These buildings are isolated from the rest of the world. They have always been linked to family farming and livestock, but many of them are already some of the most sensational MICE locations in Spain.

This venue, protected by a fort, surrounded by walls and between moats and bastions, has become one of the most in-demand locations in the business sector, and we can see why! because it has so much to offer, as it allows you to celebrate an event among a fortress, tower, watchtower, a fortified palace or the parade ground of the castle. Discover mysteries and legends at your event!
