Communications

GUADEC direct bus

The campus of the University of Almería is outside the city. There are regular lines everyday but weekends schedule is not well fitted for GUADEC. For this reason we charter a direct bus from city and Civitas, the planned GUADEC's main residence, to the university campus. For core days we have bus to go and come from campus. For the BoF days we'll have just the morning going to campus for our convenience. To go back to the city you could take some of the regular buses.
