We are beyond thrilled to share that Abreu Events (covering our Conferences, M&I, and Leisure segments) has been crowned Best DMC at the Portugal Trade Awards by Publituris at BTL 2025!
In Madrid, until now the urban space of the Salamanca district was known as the "Golden Mile" because of streets such as Serrano, Ortega y Gasset, Lagasca, etc., where the main high-end stores of the capital are located. However, people are beginning to talk about the "New Golden Mile" for another totally different area, between the Ópera and Calle Alcalá, which stands out not only for the large concentration of new luxury shops (mainly in the Canalejas Gallery), but also because of all the new luxury hotels that we can find.
During the month of March, Abreu Events Portugal had the pleasure of operating some unique events both in Lisbon and Porto, among them:
The Teatro Magno, with more than a hundred years of history, is a direct architectural witness to the social and cultural life of Madrid in the last century. It has been renovated for its recent reopening but preserving its original elements and clandestine nuances to the maximum. Located on Calle Cedaceros, in the very center and extremely close to Puerta del Sol.
For any beach, the Blue Flag is the highest award that it can have. The Blue Flag is a certification founded in 1987, by the Foundation for Environmental Education (FEE), meaning that a beach, marina, or sustainable boating tourism operator meets the highest environmental standards. An honour that less only 40 countries in the world, in all continents, have it, and among those there are the undoubtedly “kings” of the beaches.
The vacation rental search portal, Holidu, thanks to data from World Weather Online, has counted the average number of hours of sunshine per month and has drawn up a map as a guide with the destinations where the sun is almost guaranteed for your event.
Benidorm, 30 minutes from Alicante, is known as "The Manhattan of the Mediterranean" due to the number of skyscrapers, many of them exceeding 100 meters in height. Despite being one of the best-known tourist destinations internationally, it is also considered an example of sustainability: as there are so many skyscrapers, it allows the existence of more green areas and the reduction of private transport, as the distances are shorter.
As we mentioned in the beginning of 2022 in a Linkedin post, Abreu Events will be encouraging our clients to use simple sustainable solutions during their events.
The first hotel of “Only YOU” chain located outside of Madrid, is in Valencia, being also the first 5-star hotel of the company.

Rafa Nadal, the first male tennis player to win 21 grand slams, opened a restaurant in his hometown, Mallorca Island in early February. It’s his second restaurant, since in Madrid he owns “Tatel restaurant” together with other sports stars such as Pau Gasol and Cristiano Ronaldo, among others.
