Get Together – Monday, June 4th

Have you arrived in the city the day before the conference and you are lost? Would you like to dine but you do not know where? Are you nervous about meeting with colleagues that you have not seen for a long time? Come to the ICWE Get Together Babecue and break the ice joining the local organization team and other colleagues for a casual dinner. This is the best way to start ICWE 2018!

The get together party will be in the restaurant "El Mirador de Galarza" which has nice views over the medieval city of Cáceres. It will start at 21:00 but it will be something informal so joining between 21:00 and 22:00 would be right.

This is the route from the "Plaza Mayor" to the entrance of the restaurant: https://goo.gl/LnXjVT. The restaurant is on the upper terrace of the Obispo Galarza car park.

Daily lunches

Daily lunches will be hosted at B-Nomio restaurant which is TripAdvisor’s choice number 1 in Cáceres. The restaurant is ten minutes walk from the conference venue (see the map below). Its chef, Benjamín Caballero, has a long history of training in the most famous kitchens in the country. Currently, he combines B-Nomio with the advice to other restaurants and training activities.
