kind of identification (passport of equivalent) in order to get the keys to your rooms.

(*) As you exit the Sarriko metro station the University Hall of Residence is THE SECOND
tall red brick building on the same side of the street, right behind you at the end of the carpark.

Talks will take place in the Lecture Hall at the UPV-EHU University in Leioa (15 km away from Bilbao).
A bus will take the participants from the hotels to the Campus and back every day. For the bus time schedule see the Program.
There is a projector available for transparencies, and a beamer for powerpoint and computer presentations.
Although a computer will be connected to the beamer, it is recommended to bring a laptop with you, if you give an electronic presentation.
There will be 4 computers with INTERNET CONNECTION.

Buses run from the Airport to Bilbao (Plaza Moyua); the bus company name is Bizkaibus, and the bus number is A3247.
They run every half hour from 6:30 to 22:30, and cost around 1 euro.
Once in Plaza Moyua, you may take the Metro (in particular if you go to "Residencia Unamuno") or a taxi (if you go to Hotel Nervión).

The Metro Station Entrances are easily recognizable, tunnel-like crystal entrances which look like gigantic wormholes.
All Metro stations are also indicated by a special symbol with interconnected red rings.
Plaza Moyua is an elliptical plaza, and the Metro is more or less diagonally across from the bus stop.
If you go to "Residencia Unamuno" take the train going to Urduliz or San Inazio, get off at "Sarriko" metro station and follow the instructions above.

There are Taxis available at the Airport. The journey to the Residence or to Hotel Nervión should cost around 20 euros.

Coaches to Bilbao arrive at the Central Bus station--Termibus (this webpage is only in spanish). There is a Metro Station Entrance (Fosterito).
Take the Metro to "Sarriko" station and follow (*).

Saturday the 6th in the morning (11:15) there will be a guided visit to the GUGGENHEIM museum IF we get a minimum of 30 people interested.

The conference dinner will be on Thursday 4th (8:30) at "Sidrería Arriaga" (a cider bar) , Viuda de Epalza (or Epalza Kalea) 10,
not far from Hotel Nervión.

Weather in Bilbao is NEVER predictable. Early September is usually pleasant, although it can rain quite often.
There are beaches relatively close by
(you can get to Plencia by Metro, for example, in about 40 minutes),
so we suggest you bring both swimsuits and rain gear.

If you have any questions please don't hesitate to ask [qfpmufrj@lg.ehu.es (Gonzalo), or qfbnatob@lg.ehu.es (Bea)]
