Saturday, September 28th
========================
Optional Excursion to the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos on
the Island of La Palma.
The conference will not be providing transportation from the airport to the conference site or viceversa. Below we give information about transport.
Since many participants will be arriving on the same flights or at similar times, we suggest you to share a taxi with other participants to get to Puerto de la Cruz. If you wish to share a taxi, please fill in the form available in the Workshop's WEB pages (http://www.iac.es/qhost/transport/transport.html). You will be able to access the list of arrival times for participants, together with his/her e-mail address in order to arrange your transport by yourselves (http://www.iac.es/qhost/transport/comments.html). This file will be updated on our server automatically).
If you are arriving at Tenerife South airport (Reina Sofia), you can either
catch a taxi (about 10,000 Pesetas, 1 US dollar is about 128 Pesetas) or a
bus. Bus services are as follows:
If you arrive at Tenerife North airport (Los Rodeos), buses for Puerto de la Cruz leave every 30 min. (line 102, coming from the terminal in Santa Cruz) costing ..... Pesetas. A taxi would cost 2,500 Pesetas.
All the participants are expected to pay a registration fee of 15,000 Spanish Pesetas. This includes a copy of the Proceedings, a half a day excursion to the Observatorio del Teide and the Teide National Park on Friday, September 27th, a reception on Tuesday, September 24th, and the conference dinner on Thursday, September 26th. An optional full day excursion to the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, in the neighbouring island of La Palma, on Saturday, September 28th, is also being organized (see below).
The registration desk will be open at the Conference Centre on Monday, September 23th, from 17:30 to 19:00 and in the mornings of Tuesday and Wednesday, September 24th and 25th. We can only accept cash or eurocheques (both in Pesetas) or travellers cheques in US dollars.
There is a bank within the international arrivals lounge in TFS but it does not operate on Sundays or public holidays. If you are travelling through Madrid there is a bank open 24 hrs.. Many banks are of course available in Puerto de la Cruz, and they are open Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 13:00 hrs.
The current exchange rate is about 128 Pesetas per US dollar. Credit cards are widely accepted in Spain; restaurants, hotels, although not at the conference desk!
Rooms will be available on a first-come-first-serve basis in hotels close
to the Conference Centre in Puerto de la Cruz ( see map).
Daily rates in Spanish
Pesetas (1 US $ is about 128 Pesetas), excluding 4% local taxes,
are per person sharing a double room.
Extra rates for single rooms are also given. We recommend you take
half board (for lunch) since there are not many restaurants
in the area and there will be a welcome reception
on Tuesday evening and a conference dinner on Thursday.

If you would like us to book a hotel room for you and have not sent us a request, please fill in the Hotel Accommodation Form, using the WEB form: http://www.iac.es/qhost/qhost_accform.html .
All participants are invited to join a trip to the Observatorio del Roque de Los Muchachos (ORM), the international observatory located on the neighbouring Island of La Palma, on Saturday September 28th. The cost of the trip is 11,000 pesetas, which includes a return ticket from Tenerife North airport to La Palma, and transport to and from your hotel. Other expenses on the Island are being met jointly by the conference organizers and the local Tourist board.
The Island of La Palma is the furthest from the African coast, and lies NW of the archipelago. With an extension of 728 square km, it is the island with the highest peaks in the world in relation to its surface. The Roque de Los Muchachos peak reaches an altitude of 2,426 metres and hosts the observatory bearing its name. One of the most impressive scenes is the Caldera de Taburiente, a depression adjacent to the Roque de los Muchachos 9000 m in diameter, 800 m deep and a circumference of 28,000 m, which participants will have a chance to visit.
For information on the telescopes installed at the ORM, please visit IAC's Web site at http://www.iac.es/folleto/orm.html
IMPORTANT NOTICE:
Due to restrictions imposed by the local air company BINTER, (i) we are
forced to book tickets by early September, and (ii) tickets cannot be
returned or changed, so by booking you are committing yourself to purchasing
