Location

The conference will be held in Madrid. The Airport of the city is called "Madrid-Barajas", and it is possible to travel from the Airport to any place in the city by Metro. You can find more information about how to get to Madrid in the travel section.

The Facultad de Informática (Computer Science Faculty) is located in this address: Calle Profesor García Santesmases, S/N. It is inside the campus of Ciudad Universitaria. It is easy to get there by Metro, the nearest stop is "Ciudad Universitaria", in the line number 6, "Circular" (the grey one). The campus is located in the west of Madrid, in the "Moncloa" area. It's the main Universitary Campus in the city. This map shows the area and the exact location of our Faculty marked with a red circle. Take into account that the map is rotated 90 degrees clockwise:

It is a reasonable walk from there to the faculty (1.6 km), but nice if the weather is reasonable. You turn right as you come out of the underground and follow Avenida Complutense towards the north till it reaches a sort of roundabout (the structure is there, but cars going accross as you come actually drive through the center of it as well as going round). From there on there is one way system that encircles some of the university sport facilities. At the opposite end of that one way system there is a proper roundabout, and our faculty is off the left (follow the line of pine trees going down hill to an ugly brick building that you should be able to see from the roundabout). If you want to go by walking, this map may help you.

If you do not want to walk, you can take a bus as you come out of the underground. Numbers "82", "F", "G", or "U" go basically along the same route I described. For "82", "F" and "G" you have to get off just after the second roundabout (the real one). Depending on which bus you chose, it will dropp you off one side or the other of the roundabout, and you will have to find the avenue of pine trees going down hill and follow it down. Bus "U" actually goes a bit further round the sports facilities, then turns right and has a final stop at the back of the building, closer than the others. The map on the right shows the route to follow from the Metro station to the Faculty.

One ride in Metro costs one euro, and it is valid from the origin station to the destination, no matter how many stations you travel. It can be a good idea to purchase a "Metrobus", a 10 rides ticket. There are also tourist tickets. You can request information and purchase those tickets inside any Metro station.
