Sponsorship header
On October 4th, 2019, up to 40 community stakeholders will come together for the second year to shape and guide the CiviCRM project. Just as their efforts are vital to sustaining and improving CiviCRM for the thousands of organizations around the world that rely on it, so too is your sponsorship of the Community Summit. 
 
Following the summit, community stakeholders will get down to the nuts in bolts and volunteer their time during a 5 day sprint. Their efforts will address everything from code improvements, capacity building, marketing and more. You can support them, and most importantly, keep them fed in order that they stay alive and, well, productive!

How to get there

Google Maps for Car & Taxi instructions:

FROM BARCELONA AIRPORT TO THE VENUE

- By Bus to Sitges + Taxi

The best option is to take a bus that will take you to Sitges and then from there take a taxi to the house.

  1. Take the bus from the company Monbus from the Airport to Sitges. The bus stop is in Terminal 1 of the Airport. If you arrive to Terminal 2 you will need to take the Shuttle from T2 to T1. The ticket is 7€ one way, 8€ two way. The frequency is each 30' and it will take you to Sitges in 25'
  2. From Sitges you can take a taxi to the house. You have to get off the Bus in Sitges - Parc Can Robert Stop and then walk 100 mts through the tunnel until you arrive to the Taxi Stop. If there are no taxis available, call +34 938941329 and ask for a taxi for the "Oasis Zone" or ask to the Organizers to ask one for you. This should be a 15' ride and the price 12€ aprox.
  3. Alternatively there will be 1 or 2 cars available to do the Venue - Sitges ride so if you arrive on Thursday 3rd afternoon it is highly likely that we will pick you up in Sitges.

The best option is to get to Sitges by Train and then take a Taxi to the Venue.

Getting to Sitges by Train:

There are three main train stations in Barcelona that offer a service that runs to Sitges: Estació de França, Passeig de Gràcia and Estació Sants. The C2 train travels from Franca to Passeig de Gràcia to Sants and then on to Sitges. The final destination of the train is either Vilanova i la Geltru or St. Vincenç de Calders - these are the names that you should be searching for on departure boards and on the front of the train rather than Sitges.
 
Price of the Train Ticket
Train tickets can be purchased either from automated machines or from ticket desks - you will normally find that it is quicker to use the machines. Although, they don't answer back, so take the time to join a queue for one of the ticket desks if you have any particular questions.
 
Single Journey: €4.10
Return Journey: €7.20
 
Times of the train from Barcelona to Sitges
Trains to Sitges from Barcelona run approximately every twenty minutes, starting at  (from Estacio de França) and finishing at  from (Barcelona Sants). The journey lasts 46 minutes from Estació de França, 37 minutes from Passeig de Gràcia and 30 minutes from Estació Sants. Train times are subject to change - it is therefore best to check the Official Renfe website for more details - this is its branch for local trains, known as Cercanias. Page with online time information
