How to get to SCI Office from the airport: The cheapest and quite-fast way is by train (RENFE) to Plaça de Catalunya (around 20 minuts) and then walking down to the Rambles or taking the metro (green line) to “Liceu” (one stop). The fastest but most expensive way is the Aerobus (5,65€) to Plaça Catalunya

How to get from your Airport Terminal to the Airport Train Station:Airport train Station is in front of the Terminal 2 Arrivals Hall

If you land in TERMINAL 1: Shuttle (free) to Terminal 2 + trainIf you land in TERMINAL 2: Just in front of the arrivals Hall

Saving money...If you are at least 3 people or plan to visit Barcelona, we recommend you to buy a T-10 , 1 ZONE (10 journeys, 9,45€). It costs less than half of a single ticket (2 €) and can be used by more than one person at the same time with no limit of time.

Living together in the Mediterranean. YiA 3.1 Training&networking seminar Oct-Nov 2012 Page4 of 10

The site is in the mountains, around 1.200 m high. Bring warm clothes!!.

The house has got 7 double bed-rooms (4 with 2 single beds and 3 with a double-bed) and other bigger rooms. If you are a couple, please tell us in advance in order that we can place you in the rooms with a double bed. The rest of the participants will be lodged in the other rooms or at the homes of two members of Irenia (Yorgos and Josep-Miquel, we live nearby).

MEALS

The house is provided with a big kitchen, microwaves, and everything we will need.

A person will cook the main meal (that will be dinner around 19:00h) and will prepare the cold lunch for us. Please, tell us if you have or follow a special diet (vegetarian, vegan, halal, etc).

The timetable suggested is:

Breakfast: At 08:00h. We’ll have to organize ourselves. The idea is that every day a country will be in charge of preparing it. There’ll be all the usual ingredients (milk, coffee, tea, cheese, bread, fruits, cereals, salamis, jam, etc. but if you want to prepare a special breakfast from your own country, you are more than welcome to do it. In that case, please tell us in advance about the ingredients you may need. (Note for Jordanians and Palestinians: “zataar” is not available in Catalonia), (note for Romanians: the same for “mak”, bring some! ”)

Lunch: At 13:00h. We’ll have a light lunch (cold buffet, salads, sandwiches, etc).

Dinner: At 19:00h. Since there’ll be a person cooking for us we can decide the menus. Therefore we have to make the most of this opportunity. Please send us in advance the recipe of the dish you consider the most popular from your country or region.

Tea&coffee breaks. On a self-service basis
