In addition, Hispania will pay the Barceló Group an amount equal to the expected dividend in BAY for the year 2017, valued at around €11 million, as well as other compensatory and / or liquidating payments, which will result in a total payment for the entire transaction of €172.4 million.
Simultaneously, Hispania has acquired Barceló Guadalmina Hotel from the Barceló Group for a total of €19 million.
