From Málaga Airport to Málaga City

By local train

Take Line C-1 from the airport to the city center. You don´t need to change, it´s a direct train. The journey takes only 12 minutes, and the standard fare is 1.80 EUR. The stop closest to the city center is “Centro Alameda”, from which you can easily walk to anywhere in the center.

You can also hop off at Málaga’s central transportation hub, station “María Zambrano”, and then connect with the metro (station “El Perchel” is right by) or the long and medium-distance trains to anywhere in Spain.

The train runs every 20-40 minutes depending on the time and day of the week. You can check the schedule at:
Renfe – Horarios de Cercanías Málaga

For further information on taking the train from the airport to the city, the excellent Málaga Airport .eu walks you through every little detail.

By bus

Take the “A”  Airport Express (“Aeropuerto Exprés”) to the city center. There are 10 stops along the way, the main ones being “Maria Zambrano” train station, bus station (“Estación Autobuses), Avda. Andalucía and Alameda Principal. The journey takes close to 30 minutes, and the standard fare is 4 EUR. You can buy your ticket (have cash ready) directly from the driver.

The Airport Express starts working at 7:00 am and stops at 12:00 midnight. It runs every 30-45 minutes. You can check the timetable at:

From the Center to the University

By Metro

This is by far the easiest option, and the one we recommend. Take Metro Line 1 (L1) (if you happen to be closer to Line 2, you can change to Line 1 at “El Perchel”), direction “Andalucia Tech”, and exit at “Clínico” (do not exit at “Universidad” – it’s farther away). Then walk 2 minutes to ETSI Informática (School of Computer Science and Engineering), which you can see from the station. The trip takes about 15 minutes and the standard fare is 1.35 EUR for one trip, or 0.80 EUR each trip if you buy a prepaid card.

If you find yourself elsewhere in the campus, no problem. Just refer to the University of Málaga’s map of Teatinos Campus for easy navigation. ETSI Informática is #2 on the map.

By Bus

The most convenient bus line is #11. Buses run every 10-15 min and the trip lasts between 15 and 20 min., depending on traffic conditions. You can take it dowhtown at the Alameda Ave., for example, and then hop off at “Hospital Clínico”. ETSI Informática is 50m away from the bus stop. A bus ticket costs 1.30 EUR.

 

At the University

Once you get to the main ETSI Informática building, take the stairs/lift down to level 0, where the conference takes place. Use the map below to navigate the different conference areas, and be sure to stop at the registration desk first to pick up your ID. It’s a very easy setup, with everything happening in the same building and on the same floor.

We have also prepared a quick video on how to enter the building and locate the conference registration:
