Travel:
Please click here for a link to the Carmen on Google Maps.
To confirm, everyone attending the conference needs to cover their own travel, unless you are receiving a conference bursary.
For many locations it is easier to fly to Malaga. There are direct buses from Malaga Airport to Granada and return several times a day and the cost is very reasonable. The bus company website is here. Alternatively you can go to Malaga train station (by train or bus from the airport) and take the bus to Granada from there.
For travel within Granada, there are local buses and taxis are also reasonably priced.
Conference Fee:
We are not charging a conference fee but are asking for all non-speakers to fund their own meals during the conference. See costs above. We will cover all tea and coffee breaks.
For any queries about fees, travel, accommodation, food or local questions please contact our local organising team via our colleague Agata Ignaciuk (ignaciuk.agata@gmail.com).
