Language
Spanish is the everyday language in Seville, and many people in the trade-show and hospitality sectors speak English. Learning a few Spanish greetings and carrying a translation app helps in taxis, restaurants and smaller supplier meetings.
Business hours and pacing
Office and retail hours often pause for a long midday break, and evening meals start late by northern European standards. Schedule meetings with local suppliers in the morning where possible, and expect dinner reservations after 20:30.
Dress and climate
Business attire is smart-casual for most trade-show meetings. Seville can be hot for much of the year, so light layers, comfortable shoes and a refillable water bottle are practical for days moving between halls at FIBES.
Tipping and payments
Card payments are widely accepted, but carry some euro cash for small purchases and taxis. A small tip or rounding up is normal in restaurants and bars; large tips are not expected in taxis or at the exhibition centre.
Local etiquette
Greetings are usually warm and personal, and a handshake is standard in business settings. Punctuality is expected for scheduled meetings, but social conversation before the agenda is common and helps build trust with Andalusian partners.
Getting around
Seville is compact and walkable in the historic centre, with trams, buses and a metro network covering the wider city. For FIBES, taxis or local buses are usually the simplest option; confirm the return route before the evening rush.

FAQs & glossary
Answers
Frequently asked
Glossary
- Acid mine drainage (AMD)
- Metal-rich, acidic water that forms when sulphide minerals, especially pyrite, are exposed to air and water in mine workings, waste rock or tailings. Treatment and prevention systems are a recurring topic for Iberian Pyrite Belt operators and appear among the environmental technologies shown at MMH.
- Beneficiation
- The process of upgrading run-of-mine ore to a concentrate or usable product by physical and chemical methods such as crushing, screening, washing, gravity separation and flotation. Beneficiation equipment and plant design are core exhibit categories at MMH.
- Comminution
- The crushing and grinding stages that reduce ore particle size so valuable minerals can be liberated. Comminution is the most energy-intensive part of most mineral processing plants, which is why crushers, mills and energy-saving circuits draw attention at the show.
- Flotation
- A separation method that uses chemicals and air bubbles to make target minerals hydrophobic so they attach to froth and rise to the surface for collection. Flotation cells, reagents and control systems are relevant to copper, zinc and polymetallic operations represented at MMH.
- Cut-off grade
- The minimum grade of mineralised material that is economic to mine and process under current operating assumptions. Cut-off grade decisions link geology, metallurgy and mine planning, and are discussed by exploration and consulting visitors at the event.
- Tailings
- The fine waste material left after valuable minerals have been extracted from ore. Tailings storage, thickening, filtration, water recovery and long-term closure are major engineering and environmental topics for mining operators visiting MMH.
- Hydrometallurgy and leaching
- Extraction of metals from ore or concentrate using aqueous chemistry, including heap, tank and in-situ leaching followed by solvent extraction and electrowinning. The approach is relevant to copper and specialty metal projects across the Iberian Peninsula.
- Resource and reserve classification
- Reporting codes such as JORC and NI 43-101 define how measured, indicated and inferred resources and ore reserves are estimated and disclosed. Understanding these categories helps equipment suppliers and investors interpret project maturity.
- Mine rehabilitation and closure
- The engineering and ecological work needed to stabilise land, manage water and restore vegetation after mining. Rehabilitation contractors and monitoring specialists exhibit at MMH because closure obligations apply to both active and legacy sites in the region.
- Open-pit and underground mining methods
- The two main ways of extracting ore: surface excavation by benches, or underground development with shafts, declines and stopes. Equipment selection, ventilation, ground control and haulage differ sharply between the two, shaping what buyers look for at the show.
