Social Dinner

The social dinner of ConfWS’23 will be take placed at El Balneario - Baños del Carmen, a stylish restaurant serving seafood, wine and classic local fare in a seaside venue.

El Balneario - Baños del Carmen

To arrive to the restaurant, the best option is by bus - Line 11 - which takes you directly from the conference venue or from the downtown. From the conference venue (E.T.S. Ingeniería Informática) take the bus at the initial stop Louis Pasteur with direction El Palo (P. Virginia). Coming from Málaga downtown you can take it at the Alameda Avenue direction El Palo (P. Virginia). Leave the bus at the Bolivia - Baños del Carmen stop which is in front of the restaurant.

To come back to Málaga downtown, the available buses depend on the finish hour of the dinner. However, the line N1 is available during all night. Another option is to take a walk throught the promenade (50 min.).
