We suggest to book a room in one of the two following main options where we have negotiated special prices for conference participants. We do not get commission for getting you into those two hotels and you are also free to choose whatever other accomodation in Las Negras. The village is so small that everything can be reached in a few minutes by foot. If you come by car - but only then - you can also stay in another village in Cabo de Gata. There is very little public transport connecting Las Negras to the rest of the world and probably even less outside of the main season.
For reserving a room at one of those two hotel options, please write an email with the dates and the desired room to reservas@calagrande.es and mention that you come for the conference to ensure the negotiated prices! Accomodation requests should be sent now as soon as possible as reservations are going to be opened again for the public. If you are searching for a roommate, write us an email!
