Travel Information for mODa8 Participants The mODa8 conference will be held in the Palace of the Earl of Valdeparaiso at Almagro in Ciudad Real (Spain). The address is: Palacio de los Condes de Valdeparaiso. C/ Bernardas 2, Almagro, Ciudad Real. Spain. Ciudad Real is located 200 km South of Madrid and connected with Madrid by high speed train (AVE). The trip takes 50 minutes. Trains stopping in Ciudad Real leave from Puerta de Atocha railway station. Almagro is then 20km far from Ciudad Real. Once in Madrid you will have to go from the airport (Barajas, Terminals 1,2, 3 and 4) to the railway station (Puerta de Atocha). There are 2 options either by Underground or by Taxi. Madrid Barajas Airport Barajas Airport has four terminals known as T1, T2, T3 and T4. Terminals 1, 2 and 3 are connected by corridors, which can be used to walk between them (maximum 20 minutes). Terminal 4 is not connected directly with T1,T2,T3. Iberia and other companies from OneWorld Alliance (British Airways, American Airlines) operate from this terminal. At T4 Satellite part of the transit area is split from the checking in/baggage claim area. So it can be necessary to take a train journey (before/after crossing passport control) of about 10 minutes to reach your baggage. Note: For return journey, this terminal is a silent one - flight changes are only displayed on screens (except in the case of Iberia Airline). Barajas - Puerta de Atocha by Underground (recommended) It takes about 50 minutes after several line transfers.
