The conference will take place at the Institut Menorquí d’Estudis in Mahon (or Maó, in Catalan), the capital city of Menorca, which is home to stunningly beautiful nature.
How to reach Maó
Menorca is an island located at a stone’s throw from Barcelona.
The simplest way to reach Menorca is by plane. The airline Vueling runs more than 10 direct flights per day between Barcelona (BCN) and Mahon (MAH), with a flight time of less than one hour. During the summer season, many other companies run direct flights from different European cities. Detailed flight schedules may be found on usual search engines (e.g., SkyScanner or Kayak).
The airport of Maó is only 5 km away from the city. The distance may be easily covered by a quick taxi ride.
It is also possible to reach Maó by ferry. The overnight cruise from Barcelona takes approximately 7 hours.

How to go from Maó to BEC2019
This Workshop will end at lunch on Friday 6th of September. The buses from Barcelona to the BEC2019 Conference in Sant Feliu will leave from Barcelona airport on Saturday 7th, and there are typically 6 or 7 buses organized throughout the whole day (the earliest leaving around 10am, and the latest one leaving around 9pm).
The simplest possibility to reach Sant Feliu is therefore to sleep one more night in Mahón, fly on Saturday 7th to Barcelona, and embark directly on one of the buses, without even leaving the airport.
Alternatively, you may fly to Barcelona on Friday 6th, sleep in town one night, and return to BCN airport to board one of the buses on Saturday 7th.
