Accommodation
All the talks of the Conference will take place at Residencia San José, a private Residence Hall in El Escorial. The prices per person (including meals) at the residence are:
- 45 € per day, double room
- 60 € per day, single room
Please recall that all payments should be made in cash and upon arrival. No credit cards are allowed. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause to you.
Only a limited number of rooms are available. If you wish to book a room, indicate so in the Registration Form specifying clearly the arrival and departure dates to the residence. If you want to book a single room, we urge you to do it promptly since only a small number are available. If you want to share a room, you can either indicate your roommate in the Registration Form or let the Organizing Committee arrange it for you.
Residencia San José provides sufficiently large lecture rooms, as well as room and full board for all those participants who may wish to stay there along with some basic services.
The building has been renovated recently. All rooms have a private bathroom and shower. Besides the dining room where all meals will be served, there is a small cafeteria and vending machines for soft drinks or beer. Although some of the services available are modest or limited, we (the organizers) found the place comfortable and pleasant.
However, participants are reminded that Residencia San José is neither a research institute nor a hotel and therefore does not offer some of the typical services one may expect. For example, there is no library and the possibilities for computer connections may be limited. There will be no TV or phones in the rooms and no wake-up calls either.
For local participants who will be commuting or for those who will be staying elsewhere at El Escorial, meals will be available at Residencia San José; the price of each meal is 12 € (tickets can be purchased in advance at the Conference place).
Short Talks
Due to the limited time for room changes, we STRONGLY ENCOURAGE participants to adjust their short talk presentations to the given 15 min. We recall you that each room will have a slide projector, and a computer projector (but no blackboard). If you wish to use the computer projector, you are required to bring your PDF FILE in a pen drive or similar device which can be inserted in the CONFERENCE LAPTOP.

Take the Metro, Line 8 (the pink one), from the airport to Nuevos Ministerios. The trip takes about 25 min. This is a map of the Metro network with the two Aeropuerto stations and Nuevos Ministerios marked with a red circle.
