TRAVEL INFORMATION
How to get to TENERIFE: There are two airports in the island: Tenerife-North “Los Rodeos” & Tenerife-South “Reina Sofía”. Tenerife-North is much nearer the two venues of the conference (5-10 minutes driving distance to La Laguna and 30 minutes to Puerto de la Cruz), but it is more of a national airport, mainly for those who come in transit from Madrid or Barcelona; Tenerife-South, on the other hand, is the international airport and it is located in Granadilla de Abona (at about 1 hour driving distance to La laguna & 1 hour 30 minutes to Puerto de la Cruz), most of the low-cost companies land there but there are regular green buses (TITSA company) who take you to the capital of the island: Santa Cruz de Tenerife (please, do not confuse it with Puerto de la Cruz, which is another town!), at an estimated price of about 7 euros.
