For sponsored accommodation, we will use two student residences: Muñoz Torrero, and Francisco de Sande.

Muñoz Torrero is also the venue where the talks will be present.

Residencia Universitaria “Diego Muñoz Torrero“

Pics from the visit of some orga team members of Muñoz Torrero are available at https://gallery.debconf.org/v/debconf9/Foto1489.jpg.html and following.

We have a map overlay of the venue, residences, and other key points.

Discussed hotels on the localteam list [1]:

(12 minutes walking from the venue):

• AH Agora or Husa Don Manuel (4 stars) ~70 euros/night
• Alfonso IX (2 stars) ~35euros/night

(20 minutes walking):

• Albergue Muncipal for € 18 the night.
