Accommodation

These hotels provide special conditions for the event. There is one hotel located in Barakaldo (the quiet area) and the rest are in Bilbao. Also, we suggest some alternative options in case that those appointed don’t suit your needs, but keep in mind that there are no special conditions agreed with them.
Please, click on the Barakaldo or Bilbao tabs below for more information.
