Travel Budget

Location

The project will take place in the beautiful mountain village of Villanueva del Trabuco, located 40 mins far away from Malaga. 

Villanueva del Trabuco is known for its spectacular nature. Its hosting one of the natural monuments from the province of Malaga ”Fuente de los 100 caños”.

The village is attracting a lot of turism during the whole year due to its welcoming local community, big variety of local products such as olive oil, honey, meat and many more.

Villanueva del Trabuco is also home of several local artists/artisans well known in the Andalusia region. 

Accommodation

Participants will be hosted at ”Albergue 100 Caños” in Villanueva del Trabuco.
Participants will be placed in rooms of 4-6 people according to gender.
The accomodation is located only 10 minutes away from the center of the village making it accesible for the participants to visit the village in their free time, having easy access to shop if needed.

How to Arrive? 

The main airport in the South of Spain is Malaga's airport - AGP (Pablo Picasso). We strongly reccomend to land in this airport.
The organisation will organise a pick-up bus from Malaga to the location of the project (Villanueva del Trabuco) as well as a bus to return to Malaga on the departure day.

Participants can have 2 extra days before or after the project on their own expenses. We strongly reccomend everyone to use those days to visit the beautiful city of Malaga!

Participants should check before buying the tickes with their organisation!

All the participants should buy the tickets according to the organised bus by the association: 

• They should be at the meeting point at the MALAGA AIRPORT that will be specified closer to the starting of the project 

• Departing time is at 17:00h SHARP (Spanish time) from the airport to the accomodation on the 20th of October

• Returning time from the accomodation to the airport will be at 6:00h SHARP on the 29th of October.

Food

The hosting organisation will provide 3 meals per day as well as coffee breaks during the duration of the project. We will have with us an amazing Erasmus+ chef that will make the project a long-lasting experience. Food will be adapted to the special needs of the participants (allergies, intolerances, vegetarian/vegan diet, etc.).

🌞 Weather in Villanueva del Trabuco in October
In October you can expect cool weather due to the location of the village (the mountain side), so bring clothes that are suitable for autumn (mosty cool) weather.
