Travel information

For participants travelling from Europe, the easiest route is usually via Madrid Airport. From the airport you can take the train or metro (depending on the terminal) to Chamartín Train Station, and from there travel to Zamora by high-speed train, which takes about one hour.

The local hosts are also exploring the possibility of arranging an agreement with the train company to obtain better ticket prices for participants.
