Accommodation
Please organise your own accommodation. There are many accommodation options in all price ranges and for all requirements.
I would be happy to send you some options or further websites.
It would make sense to book in the Los Llanos or Tazacorte area.
There are many small holiday homes that participants could share. Please write to me if you are interested.
Flights
Flights must be booked independently. Important: book to La Palma SPC (not to Palma de Mallorca, not to Las Palmas, Gran Canaria). Possible airlines for direct flights: easyJet, Condor, Iberia. From Switzerland: Edelweiss. Bargain hunters sometimes have luck with one-way flights with stopovers in Mallorca, Gran Canaria and Tenerife.
Food
In the places where we work and create, there are restaurants for lunch and dinner, as well as supermarkets where we can eat together or individually and stock up on supplies as desired.
