About the Venue

About the venue

The Congress’ venue (Escuela Nacional de Pesca) is located at Av. de los Trabajadores 650. It’s fairly close to the Centro Comercial del Puerto (5 min walking), where you can find multiple restaurants, specialized (not exclusively, though) in seafood. There is also a sandwiches’ shop nearby (10 min walking). There are other shops and restaurants over 12 de Octubre St. You can also find grocery stores (10-15 min walking) VEA/Dia.

If you’re driving to the congress, you can park either at the Escuela (you can access through the “Via de la lágrima” St) or at the Centro Comercial.

Check out our custom map for details. In it, you will find locations to the Escuela de pesca, the venue hotels (and others), a few places around where you may find food for lunch, plus a couple of banks nearby in case you need an ATM. You will also find locations to the Airport, the central Bus Station, the Centro Naval (where the farewell party will be held on Thursday) and the BrewHouse Puerto (end-of-day tour arranged for Tuesday).
