PREPARATION OF PARTICIPANTS & PRE-ASSIGNMENTS
ACOMMODATION - CAMPING BUNGALOW PARK L'ALBUFERA
Check-in: April 15th 2024, 20:00
Check-out: April 25th 2023, 09:00
Address: Carrera del Riu, 556, 46012 Valencia
Website: https://www.bungalowsalbufera.com/
How to arrive to the venue: We will be waiting for you at the camping. The best way to arrive is to take the metro line 3 or 5 from Valencia's Airport to the stop "Colón". You walk straight and take a direct bus form "Porta del Mar" stop to "Pinars (par) - El saler". Then you walk a little bit and you will arrive to the camping.
The best you can do is use google maps. You need to write:
From: Aeropuerto València-Manises, 46940, Valencia
To: camping bungalow park albufera, Carrera del Riu, 556, 46012 Valencia
Accommodation conditions:
Participants will stay in double and triple rooms, in a camping on the bank of L'albufera, with generous outdoor space and access to the beach. Each bungalow has its own bathroom, a fridge, a TV and air conditioner. Smoking is forbidden in the rooms and in the common spaces inside the buildings. Smokers can use the spaces outside the buildings. Free Wi-Fi will be available in the activity room and the bar.
Food: During this Youth Exchange, each national team will have to cook for themselves, in their Bungalow(s), all the meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner), every day. You will have a daily budget and we will go for the groceries together. This is a teamwork effort, from the beginning until the end of the project. We work together, we have fun together!
What to bring: reusable water bottle so we can cut down as much as possible the plastic waste, cosmetics (shampoo, shower gel etc.), flip flops, beach towels, sunscreen, bathing suit (and anything else you might want to bring to the beach - usually the weather in April in Valencia is around 25°). Also, given the close proximity to L'albufera bring your own mosquito repellent spray or lotion is very important. There is a supermarket 1km away form the accomodation.
IMPORTANT: For those who want to explore Valencia or any other parts of Spain, please consider coming 2 days before the mobility or staying 2 days longer after, on your own expenses. During the project we will have only one day trip outside of the camping, to the city of Valencia.
