Tips for Visitors to ESAC
GETTING TO ESAC
Options and instructions for travelling to ESAC from Madrid airport or city centre:
- Getting to ESAC (English instructions)
- Como llegar a ESAC (Spanish instructions)
ESAC is difficult to reach by public transport and taxi drivers from Madrid often don't know the location, while the street address is usually not found in GPS systems.
Entering the site
Your host will inform ESAC security of your arrival date, to speed up the process of getting on site. Please bring your national ID card or passport. You will need to present it to the gate guards on your first day to obtain a visitor pass.
Spanish Lifestyle / Eating Times
It may seem trivial, but frequently first-time visitors are not aware of the typical times for eating in Spanish restaurants and search in vain on the evening of their arrival for a place opening at 19:00 or 20:00. Giving your visitors some hints up front might avoid a trip to McDonalds or similar.
