The old part of the city encompasses Postiguet Beach, two marinas and a large commercial port. The city embraces an imposing 166-meter rocky hill right next to the sea, Monte Benacantil, crowned by The Castillo de Santa Bárbara (Santa Barbara Castle). This is one of the largest castles on the Mediterranean, and the conference dinner will take place within its premises, with breathtaking views over the city and the Mediterranean. The slopes of Monte Benacantil surround the old city of Alicante (El Barrio) like a shield. El Barrio is well known for its vibrant nightlife. <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin-top:6.0pt'>The local organizing team has secured a large block of hotel rooms at special discounted rates for the conference. Specific <u>hotel information will be made available on the website in March 2019</u>. Lodging in the area is reasonably priced, but accommodations can become limited in the high summer season.
