How to get here:

Book a seat in the summer school bus.

We are now arranging the transportation to La Cristalera in Miraflores de la Sierra. In order to facilitate how to get there, there will be a bus at C/Serrano 113 in Madrid at 7pm on Sunday, July 3, 2011.

C/Serrano 113 was the previous home of the Institute for Mathematical Sciences (CSIC-UAM-UC3M-UCM). To get there from Barajas airport, you only need to take the subway, Line 8. This subway line has two stops in the airport, one in Terminal 4 and the other one in Terminals 1-2-3. The price is two euros. Get off at Nuevos Ministerios and walk for 15 minutes to get to C/Serrano 113.

Here you can find a map about that walk.

Once you have already picked up your luggage at the airport, it should take you around 45 minutes to get to C/Serrano 113.

When the summer school finishes, we will have a bus on Friday, July 8, 2011 that will take you at 5pm from La Cristalera to C/Serrano 113 in Madrid.

If you are interested in taking this bus, please send us an e-mail to gmcnetull [dot] es to book a seat for you. In the e-mail, please specify if you plan to take this bus both days, only on July 3 or only on July 8.

If you are not able to catch this bus because of your flight schedule, please keep reading the following paragraphs.

Arrival by plane

You can take a taxi from the airport, but this is an expensive choice (at least 90 Euros, but be sure to ask for the price beforehand). You can also take a taxi from the Airport to Plaza de Castilla (around 45 Euros) and then take a bus to Miraflores.

A good choice is taking the Metro from the Airport to Plaza de Castilla, and then a bus to Miraflores. At the airport, take the Metro (underground), Line 8 (pink) to "Colombia" (3 stations). Transfer in Colombia to line 9 (purple) to "Plaza de Castilla" (3 stations). This should take about 25 minutes. In any case you can ask for a free map of the Metro when you buy a ticket.

Once you have reached Plaza de Castilla there are a lot of bus stops between the two big inclined towers. Only one (number 725) goes to Miraflores de Sierra. Look for number 725 (Madrid - Plaza de Castilla to Miraflores de la Sierra, Bustarviejo). Here you can find the current timetable for bus 725.

A taxi from Plaza de Castilla to Miraflores costs minimum 70 Euros.

The trip to Miraflores de la Sierra takes approximately 60 minutes and departure is aprox. each hour from 7.30 a.m. to 23.15 p.m. Your stop is the next after "Soto del Real". Once you get off, you still need to walk around 20 minutes up on the main road exiting the village to get to La Cristalera.

A one-way ticket to Miraflores by bus number 725 costs about 4 Euros.

Arrival by train

Coming from the North, the train station is usually Chamartin. From Chamartin, you can take the Metro (line 10: dark blue) to Plaza de Castilla but it is only one station and it is also easy to walk from Chamartin to Plaza Castilla. If you arrive at Atocha, you can take the Metro (line 1: light blue, 13 stations) to Plaza Castilla and follow the above mentioned instructions for the bus.

Arrival by car

Take the big periferial highway M-40. If you come from the south, Portugal, or the Zaragoza Highways, take direction North (N-I). If you come from the Burgos Highway (N-I) take the direction M-607 Tres Cantos- Colmenar Viejo. Go out of the M-40 to the M-607 Highway towards Tres Cantos-Colmenar viejo. When the Highway ends (roughly 30 km) take the direction Miraflores. After 30 km you will reach the village. Once there, follow the signs towards La Cristalera, or Puerto de la Morcuera. One km outside the village you will find the entrance to the residence on your left (but watch out for it since sign is not a big one and may be missed.
