Logistics
Barcelona is a very popular destination, especially in May. It is recommended to fix travel and accommodation arrangements as soon as possible.
Travel
Barcelona is easily accessible by plane from all over Europe. Transfer from the airport to the city can be made by Taxi (ca. 35€) or public transport (ca. 8€).
If you stay at the NH Hotel Barcelona Eixample (see Accommodation below), just take the Aerobus A1 or A2, which runs every 15 minutes from 6:00 a.m. to midnight. Leave this bus at the stop Gran Via - Comte Borrell, which is just a few minutes walking distance from the hotel.
Accommodation
Preliminary block booking has been made at NH Hotel Barcelona Eixample for 30 rooms with double occupancy at rates of about 120 Euro per room and night including breakfast (i.e. 60 Euro/person/night). To take advantage of this offer please contact directly Corporate Sailing (Miguel Rosa, miguel.rosa@corporate-sailing.es, tel. +34 610 50 19 70).
Participants are of course free to select any other hotel they prefer.
Transport to the marina
Corporate Sailing provides a shuttle service with two coaches/buses during the whole week (i.e. including the training days) between the Old Harbour in Barcelona and Marina Badalona at no extra cost.
There will be three pick-up points in Barcelona serviced each morning (training and race days):
- 9h00: Passeig de Colom/Via Laietana
- 9h05: Metro Paral-lel
- 9h15: NH Eixample
The bus will return each evening after the races.
