Cover Letter
Dear members of the Ilab-Lila:
We have contacted with several hotels in order to get a quality lodging and reasonably priced. The visits and trips organized by profesionals with a convenient schedule. The book fair prices are really competitive, what we hope will help to attract the interest of a large number of ILAB LILA members.
I believe that I have presented you all the good reasons why it is worth coming to Madrid. The Spanish members of ILAB brought together in AILA are waiting to give you a warm welcome to Madrid and among all to get success for the Congress and the International Book fair.
With best wishes
Gonzalo Fernández Pontes
President of Aila
We´ll end this tour with the trip, 35 miles far from Madrid, to the palace-monastery of San Lorenzo del Escorial, in a magnificent landscape, from where the king Philip the second reigned over the destiny of the Hispanic Monarchy in the XVIth century. Among its matchless collections: the library, one of the most important in the world for the quality and rarity of its holdings, will be the place for a detailed visit by the ILAB Congress members.
All that we suggest makes of Madrid the ideal frame to attract many members of the ILAB-LILA who would like to take this opportunity and stay with us several days.
The meeting of the delegates of the ILAB and the international book fair, will take place in the Conference hall located at the business center with easy access by taxi, underground and bus. This well known building is the place where two antiques fairs are being held every year, which makes a suitable and spacious place for both events.
I would like to express the honour and great pleasure that we have in the organization of the 38º International Congress of the ILAB LILA and the 21º International Antiquarian book fair at Madrid that will take place in the Congress and Exhibition Centre from September 8th to 13th ,2008, with the Honour Presidence of the S.S. A.A. R.R. Principes de Asturias.
Madrid, a dynamic and changing capital, has an overwhelming offer in cultural activities, gastronomy and hotels for all tastes. Museums like the Thyssen Foundation, modern art Queen Sofia centre and the Prado make a triangle that is worth visiting.
This allows us to introduce to all participants at the Congress and the International book fair some of the singular treasures that holds the city of Madrid like the Lazaro Galdiano Foundation with one of the most important art collections and library in Spain donated to the Nation by this patron in 1949. The Royal Palace, one of the most striking buildings in Europe for its construction, location and the variety of collections housed inside its walls. We shall have the privilege to visit the library located at the North tower.
