When you think about San Francisco some of the things that come to your mind are the Golden Gate bridge, Alcatraz prison or the most crooked street, Lombard Street. But San Francisco is much more than this, it is the birthplace of important technological companies like HP, Apple, Oracle and Google and the home of Stanford University, which is one of the most important universities in the world located in Silicon Valley.
Silicon Valley is also well known for being the cradle of entrepreneurship, a characteristic that connect Spain to San Francisco.
Spain Tech Center
The Spain Tech Center is an initiative sponsored by Fundación Banesto, Icex (a division of the Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness) and red.es (a division of the Ministry of Industry, Energy and Tourism), to facilitate the landing and commercial implementation of Spanish technology companies in the North American market.
Upon arrival in the U.S. each company begins the second portion of the program, that lasts between six and

twelve months, which allows the Spanish companies to test, promote and implement their business plans in one of the most competitive regions of the world, Silicon Valley.
Currently 21 Spanish Companies take part in this project that has already delivered the first results with the Spanish company The Mad Video Inc, who won the contest “Startup Conference 2013” (which is a startup competition held in May 2013 in San Francisco) and has managed to attract Spanish private investors that have
invested a total amount of $520.000 in the company (aproximately 14% of the total value of the company).
Potential routes from San Francisco to Spain
Spain has no direct conection with San Francisco, however during 2012 nearly 64,000 indirect passengers travelled between Spain and San Francisco.
Madrid, with 29,000 indirect passengers and Barcelona with 26,000 indirect passengers in 2012 are the
main destinatios to consider a new route to San Francisco.
The new route would benefit from the incentive scheme with discounts in the passenger and security charges. Check this information in the Price Guide 2013 at http://www.aena-aeropuertos.es/csee/Satellite/conocenos/en/Page/1237548073480/

Public Holidays in Spain Did you know?
La Tomatina, the tomato throwing festival
The Tomatina is held on the last Wednesday in August in the town of Buñol. This unusual fiesta brings together crowds of people every year, ready to have a great time and have fun. Participants at this joyful battle have a wonderful time throwing tomatoes at anything that moves.
The fiesta begins the previous night to the Tomatina, when people prepare paellas in the town square while they drink wine until the early hours of the morning. On Wednesday, very early in the morning, the storekeepers and business owners work hard to protect the doors and windows from the crowd.

The Town Hall provides rolls and pastries for breakfast in the town square, and little by little the square fills with people. Around 10 am starts the first event of the Tomatina known as the “palo jabón”, it consist of climbing a huge pole covered with soap that has a ham on the end. The most daring try to climb as high as possible to get their hands on the prize. In the meantime people sing and dance in the town square while they are soaked with water. Once someone has managed to reach the ham, the fiesta starts with the first signal. Several trucks download the tomatoes in the town square and the chaos begins. The tomatoes come from Xilxes (Castellón), where they are cultivated specifically
for this fiesta as their flavour deems them not fit for human consumption. It is recommended that participants wear glasses and gloves to protect themselves, and squash the tomatoes before throwing them so as not hurt anyone.
Within a few seconds, everything turns red. Trucks loaded with tomatoes arrive one after another, until a second shot is fired signalling the end of the battle.
It is estimated that nearly 130 tonnes of tomatoes are used among 20.000 participants each year from all over the world.
For more information visit: http://latomatina.info/en/
“Tomato Royale”, the American Tomatina
It is such an international fiesta that this year the state of Virginia wanted to know how American people would receive this Spanish tradition in the United States.
They organized a tomato throwing battle called “Tomato Royale” inspired in the Tomatina of Buñol that ended up with the 5,000 participants soaked with tomato juice.
They enjoyed so much that they will probably repeat the fiesta in the following years.
