Meals
The conference site is at the very centre of town; it is surrounded
by numerous restaurants, cafeterias, snack bars, etc. offering
a wide choice of meal types and prices.
In Rome do as Romans do; in Spain eat as Spaniards eat. Spaniards
enjoy one of the hightest life expectancies in the world, due
to a great extent to eating habits. Therefore, we suggest Conference
participants to sample local cuisine during the lunch break, in
any of the restaurants that surround the "Paraninfo".
Information on location and approximate prices will be provided.
Please, make sure you are back -and alert- at 15.00 sharp!!
