Spending the last few years between New York and Barcelona is an exhilarating experience. The inhabitants of these two great cities have something in common: they are constantly re-inventing themselves and re-establishing the way we do things; both strive towards the highest standards and are passionate about the importance of contributing to their communities.

Once you have spent some time in Barcelona you will see why its inhabitants' combination of hard work, great aesthetic sensibilities and hospitality is so invigorating. Catalonians', and by extension, Spaniards', capacity for merging the classic with the contemporary has resulted in Barcelona's place amongst the great cities of Europe and the Mediterranean , and continues to be at the vanguard in the visual arts, gastronomy, architecture, and academic research.

You will also find educators and practitioners who are committed to contributing, day-by-day, towards a socially conscious, active citizenry committed to the ideals of an open society. I am sure that soon after your arrival in this vivacious and sophisticated city you will begin to understand why Catalonians have maintained their rich and distinct language and culture alive for centuries and, as I have, you will fall in love with its gorgeous coastal towns and the urban oasis that its capital, Barcelona, is.
