Basement (sótano) if you're on the first floor (planta baja), but... see expl. Explanation: Literally it's "sótano" but that doesn't sound so nice when it comes to convention halls, etc. So "lower level" is often used, since basement brings to mind storage areas. 2nd level would then be 2nd floor, or "primer piso".

Salón E (planta baja) Explanation: Since it is an event to be held, I do not believe they would hold it in the basement, but rather at the lowest level of the building, or entrance. It wouldn't necessarily be the first floor because some buildings have B (basement), G (ground) and then 1 (first floor). REF: Own experience |

REF: Own experience Sometimes the lowest level is also called "lobby" (vestíbulo). This is American English. Please excuse me if this answers appears twice, I was not able to add this note using the regular method. |
