Getting There
SoCS will take place in Cardona Parador, Cardona, Barcelona (Spain) - a beautiful ninth century fortress converted into a hotel.
Cardona is in the middle of the Barcelona province. Limited bus shuttle services will be provided: from the airport in Barcelona to SoCS on Thursday June 14th leaving at 18:30, and from SoCS to IJCAI on Saturday 16th leaving also at 18:30. (Depending on the number of late arrivers we may also arrange for an additional bus at 23:00 on the 14th from the airport to SoCS but you should not absolutely depend on it and consider alternative way to get there. In addition, taking this later bus would imply missing the reception.)
A second recommended alternative consists of renting a car. All major rental car agencies are located at Barcelona airport or train station.
Using public transportation to arrive to Cardona might be a bit more difficult. You can take a train or bus from Barcelona to Manresa, and then take a taxi there to Cardona.
Bus Information
