    About the location

    MadridCityscape.jpg

    Madrid is the capital and largest municipality of Spain. It is the third-largest city in the European Union, after London and Berlin, and its metropolitan area is the third-largest in the European Union after Paris and London.

    According to legend, Madrid was founded by Ocno Bianor (son of King Tyrrhenius of Tuscany and Mantua) and was named "Metragirta" or "Mantua Carpetana". Others contend that the original name of the city was "Ursaria" ("land of bears" in Latin), because of the many bears that were to be found in the nearby forests, which, together with the strawberry tree (Spanish madroño), have been the emblem of the city from the Middle Ages.

    Travel Bursaries

    The Document Foundation may be able to refund tickets to and from the Madrid Hackfest, after prior approval by the organizers, under the following conditions:

    • transportation-only, please sign-up for couch surfing if you need free accommodation
    • volunteer-first - people affiliated with a company involved in LibreOffice work will come last
    • first-come-first-served - participants will get reimbursed in order of their sign-up on the wiki attendance list, until budget runs out.
    • ask the organizers as soon as possible (ideally right before booking) if budget is still available. Be aware of the fact that tax law requires us to collect original receipts, so please keep them (or hand them in right there in Hamburg)

    Please be economic and pick cheap travel - that said, flights to Madrid might still be available at a reasonable price.
