Participants are asked to arrange their travel to Ponferrada individually. Transportation from Ponferrada to the venue in Villamartín de la Abadía will be coordinated by the organizers once participants’ travel details have been confirmed.
For many international participants, the most convenient route will likely be:
Travel to Madrid, arriving at Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas Airport (MAD), and
Travel from Madrid to Ponferrada.
There are two main options:
By train: Renfe offers train connections from Madrid Chamartín-Clara Campoamor to Ponferrada.
By bus: ALSA also operates Madrid-Ponferrada bus services, with multiple daily departures.
If you have doubts about how to organize your trip, please do contact the organizers, who will probably be able to provide a good guess for your optimal route!
