    Transport

     

    There are several ways to reach ESAC. Some general information on how to get to ESAC can be found here, especially if you will choose to travel by car.

    Shuttle bus

    Please note that the public transport to ESAC is not very convenient. For that reason we will provide a shuttle service between Madrid and ESAC.

    Bus service will be provided every morning between 25-28 September from Moncloa area, in downtown Madrid, to ESAC and back in the afternoon after the last session.

    On the last day (28 September) one bus will go to Madrid and one directly to Madrid-Barajas Airport.

    The bus driver will NOT wait for passengers who are late. Please, be on time!
