This Wiki page is a repository for information for the Organization and Logistics of the DAURE Campaign. Anyone involved in the campaign can add information directly, but due to problems with Spam you do need to login (and create an account if you don't have one already). You can also email Jose with any information and he can add it quickly to the site.

Location and Logistics of Rural (Montseny) Site

  • The rural site will be in the Montseny National park, this map has a general relation of the site with Barcelona
  • Closest vilages to Montseny site are: Santa María de Palautordera and Sant Esteve de Palautordera. Restaurants and accomodation are available also overthere. Montseny is 1.5 h driving from Barcelona and 20 min from the above villages.
  • Telephone, water, power, beds, a basic lab, some offices and a kitchen will be available at the rural site house.
  • There is free (very basic) accomodation with small bunk beds, if you bring sheets and a blanket or a sleeping bag. There is heating and a fireplace but this can not be used to avoid emissions, we also cannot cook. We may bring electric heaters and adventurous folks could stay overnight at the site.
  • We will be staying at Can-Marc Rural Hostel. There is free wifi at the hostel and a restaurant that can provide breakfast and dinner.
    • Dinner is around 15 Euros/person; Breakfast 3 to 4 Euros
  • The last stretch of road to the Montseny site is still in bad shape (it would be tricky for a regular car). Andres says (3-Feb) that they have been promised that it will be repaired, but they are not sure how complete those will be. The plan is to have two cars there, as detailed in this spreadsheet
  • There is a regional train line ('Linea de Cercanias C2 de RENFE') from downtown Barcelona to a station near the site (Palautordera is the closest station, or Sant Celoni is also nearby) This map shows the path from the Palautordera train station to the house where we will be staying (Can-Marc)
  • The best mobile phone and mobile internet coverage at the rural site is with "Telefonica / Movistar". Those of you with a GSM phone can buy a SIM card to get in their network.
  • There is a phone landline at the site, which we may be able to use for dialup internet (will check on 12-Feb). (free dialup in Spain: Gonuts4free)
  • It may be possible to get internet access with a USB modem over the cell phone network (will check on 12-Feb)
  • We have explored satellite internet but it is expensive (3000 euros for 1 yr or 6000 euros for 3 yrs) so we are not planning on having it
