人文考察團員則是前往加泰隆尼亞音樂廳（Palau Musica Catalana）及米拉之家（Casa Mila）。加泰隆尼亞音樂廳興建於1905年至1908年，由現代主義大師多明尼各（Lluis Domenech i Montaner）設計，現為巴塞隆納市立管弦樂團長期表演的音樂廳，外部有紅磚建築外觀，裝飾了色彩繽紛的馬賽克，轉角處有Miquel Blay的浮雕，內部則是華麗無比，特別是表演廳上方鑲嵌大型彩繪玻璃圓頂，猶如大型珠寶般光彩奪目。旅客在廳內參訪時，也能聽到導覽單位播放管風琴的華麗聲響。米拉之家則是位在Las Ramblas 大道上的高第建築作品，屋內呈現拋物線與懸鏈狀的拱頂，特殊造型的通風塔，不規則的中庭天井，以及精緻的家具擺設都是值得細細玩味，讓團員們佩服高第前衛藝術，且具遠見想法的建築概念。
The cultural survey team members headed to the Palau Musica Catalana and Casa Mila. The former was constructed during 1905~1908 by contemporary master Lluis Domenech i Montaner, and now it is used as a concert hall by the Patronato-Orquesta Cludad de Barcelona. The red brick facade of the architecture is adorned by colorful mosaics and the sculptures by Miquel Blay in the corners. The interior exuberates with sheer opulence, especially the massive stained glass dome on top of the performance hall, which emanates radiance as if it is a giant jewelry. When the visitors are inside the hall, they can also hear the extravagant sound of the pipe organ. Casa Mila on Las Ramblas Boulevard is another building designed by Gaudi featuring parabolic brick arches of varying height with spine-like rib structure, uniquely shaped ventilation towers and irregularly shaped atrium, even the meticulous furniture arrangement deserve to be finely appreciated. The team members were profoundly impressed with Gaudi’s avant-garde art and architectural vision.
參加會議與考察的團員在集合點會合後，即前往巴塞隆納聖哲火車站（Sants Estacion）。AVE列車18:00準時出發，以最高時速300公里開往馬德里阿托查火車站（Puerta de Atocha），於21:10抵達後，前往下榻飯店的胡薩港口酒店（Husa Princesa）。
After assembling at the rally point, the entourage headed for Barcelona’s Sants Estacion and boarded the AVE, which departed on time at 18:00 and sped towards the Puerta de Atocha at 300km/h. The team arrived in their destination at 21:10 and traveled to the Husa Princesa hotel.
2014年10月31日的主要考察目標是馬德里西北方95公里的城市「塞哥維亞（Segovia）」，考量整體行程的便利性，團員們趁早先經過西班牙廣場（Plaza de Espana），到「皇宮（Palacio Real de Madrid）」參觀，皇宮是座結合巴洛克式和新古典主義風格的宮殿，也是西班牙皇室鼎盛時期的代表性建築。其內部設計十分精緻，開放參觀地區最精采部分莫過於「寶座廳（Salon de Trono）」，是國王正式接見賓客的殿堂，而「圓柱廳（Salon de Columnas）」則是西班牙簽署加入歐洲共同體的地方。
The primary objective of the survey on October 31, 2014 was Segovia, a city 95km northwest of Madrid. In light of convenience, the team visited the Palacio Real de Madrid by crossing Plaza de Espana early in the morning. The palace’s architectural style is a fusion of Baroque and Neoclassicism, and it also represents the iconic architecture from the prime of the Spanish royalty at the time. The remarkable, exquisite interior design of the palace is best exemplified by the Salon de Trono, which was used by the King for formal receptions. The Salon de Columnas was where the Spaniards signed to join the European Community.
塞哥維亞坐落於海拔1,000公尺的高地上，由於優越的戰略位置，備受歷代君主青睞。塞哥維亞也是15世紀卡斯提亞王國的重要城市，1474年天主教雙王之一的伊莎貝爾就是在此加冕成為卡斯提亞王國女王，她所住的阿卡乍堡（Alcazar），據說是迪士尼電影「白雪公主」城堡靈感的來源。城內最壯觀的建築莫過於相傳建於西元前1世紀以花崗岩所建，且列名世界文化遺產的「羅馬水道橋（Acueduco Romano）」。這是一座古羅馬遺跡，全長近800公尺，拱門多達166座，由120根柱子撐起，最高處達28.9公尺，未使用任何粘著劑、卡榫結合，完全以石塊層層堆疊而成。在當時它肩負著將鄰近的雪山河水引進市區，直到1884年前水道都還有水流過。團員們在水道橋旁的百年老店康迪多餐廳享用具當地特色的烤乳豬（Cochinillo Asado）後，以徒步方式進行古城巡禮，行經主廣場（Plaza Mayor）、大教堂（Catedral）及阿卡乍堡等地點。
Segovia is located on a highland 1,000m above sea level; due to its superior strategic position, it was favored by previous monarchs. Segovia was an important city of Kingdom of Castile in the 15th century. In 1474, Queen Isabella of Castile was crowned here, and her castle Alcazar is allegedly the source of inspiration for Disney’s film “Snow White”. The most splendid building inside the castle is the World Heritage Site of Acueducto Romano, which was built 100 BC using granite. The ancient Roman relic is nearly 800m long and features 166 arches; it is supported by 120 pillars with the highest point being 28.9m tall. During construction, no adhesive or tenon was used, as it was stacked up with layers of slates. At the time, it shouldered the responsibility of introducing river water from nearby mountains into the city, and river flowed through the aqueduct up till 1884. The team enjoyed local delicacy Cochinillo Asado (roasted suckling pig) at the century-old restaurant Meson de Candido next to the Acueducto Romano. After lunch, they toured the ancient city on foot, including Plaza Mayor, Catedral and Alcazar.
