Arrival to Madrid
By plane: you will arrive to Madrid Barajas
Airport.
By train: you will arrive to either Atocha
or Chamartin Railway Stations. Getting from
one to another is easy and takes only a few minutes, we will use Atocha
as a reference.
Where are the hotels?
Hotels 1 & 2 are in Leganés,
right by the University Carlos
III, where the conference will be held
Hotels 3 & 4 are very close to Atocha Station
Getting to Atocha from Barajas
By taxi: (the easiest way), it may cost around 2500 pta. Verify
with the driver the approximate fare beforehand, and do not forget
to ask a receipt. Some of them are prone to rise fares to foreigners!
By bus: every 15 minutes or so, a bus departs to the center
of Madrid (Its last stop is Colon). Getting
from Colon to Atocha takes only a few minutes
by taxi or train (cercanías).
Moving around Madrid
The easiest way to move around the city is to use the underground (Metro),
although a lot of city buses
are also available. All this information about the city and much more can
be found here.
Getting to Leganés
Directly from Barajas: the easiest way is to catch a taxi (around
3000 ptas).
From Atocha: the easiest (and cheapest) way is to use C-5
cercanías line (Heading to Fuenlabrada, stop at Leganés).
It may take about 15 minutes.
By car: it is not a direct path, you have to use several speedways
and there are several possibilities. Please, refer to this page
for further details. We do not suggest moving around by car unless you
are already familiar with the area.
