Accommodation included. In-person participation includes two nightsʼ accommodation covered by the organisers. To benefit, each participant must book those two nights directly with the hotel by contacting Paola on +34 985 199 800 or by email at comercial@hotelzentralgijon.com.

Anyone wishing to extend their stay must book and pay for the additional nights directly using the same contact.
