The Spanish package proves increasingly popular

Spain enjoys a distinct cultural and economic position in the European arena. The traditional clichés of fiesta and siesta (whilst very appealing and in the case of fiesta very real!) have been supplanted by a high growth economy with a strong focus on innovation and internationalization. Hence, alongside the many world famous cultural and social activities available in cities such as Madrid and Barcelona, you will find a vibrant international business environment. Major Spanish companies such as Telefonica, Ferrovial and Santander have become global players, acquiring substantial positions outside their traditional markets in Spain and Latin America. In the case of companies like Inditex (the owners of the Zara brand), innovation has been at the heart of their success, redefining the industries they compete in. Indeed in growth industries such as renewable energies, Spanish companies such as Iberdrola are rapidly becoming market leaders. Spain is an exciting, creative business environment, a fascinating live case study of innovation, adaptation and change. 

This has opened up many opportunities for international graduates from Masters programs. Spain has often been regarded as the gateway to Latin America, with many multinational corporations operating out of Madrid and Barcelona having substantial holdings in both continents.
