Django on the Med 🏖️ will be free to attend. You'll need to get there, and there's food and accommodation to think about. We'll try to help folks organise shares.

It's a Django community event. The Django Code of Conduct will apply throughout

Getting to Palafrugell

This is the first draft about travel. If in doubt reach out. I'm happy to advise if I can. I'll fill in more details

Summary: You're either going to come in via Girona or Barcelona. The train is an option.

The official Visit Palafrugell site has a guide on How to Get to Palafrugell. It's right, but doesn't mention the train to Girona. Read on…

Train 🚂

If you're coming internationally, the high-speed line goes to Girona.

At Girona you can step off the train, come up from the platform, and the bus station is directly there. Buses to Palafrugell take a hour.

Total aside: This is my favourite route. I can leave home in the morning, and be in Paris in time for tea.

As per the Visit Palafrugell site, if you're coming from Barcelona, the nearest station is at Flaçà, from where you can get a bus.

Plane ✈️

The nearest airports are Girona Costa Brava and then Barcelona El Prat.

If you can fly to Girona, it is much closer.

Either way, you can either hire a car or get the bus

Bus 🚌

The bus from Barcelona takes about 2.5 hours. It's fine. Worth reserving a seat, even if only an hour or so before, as it can fill up at the last minute.

Buses from Girona take an hour and are quite regular.

Accommodation 🛌

There's masses of accommodation in the area.

As we get a bit closer, we'll try and sort out shares

Venue

With thanks to the Adjuntament de Palafrugell, the first Django on the Med will be at Can Genis, just a two minute walk from the very center of Palafrugell.

Accessibility

If you have accessibility needs that may determine whether you can attend, please reach out and let me know, so we can work out what the situation is.

Disclosure: I think the building has good accessibility (with ramps, lifts, etc) but I need to get down there and confirm that fully.

As I say, reach out if you need more information to be able to plan your trip!

FAQ

Who's doing this?

Paolo (DSF Board) and Carlton (6.x Steering Council)

What's with the timing?

Pescara and Palafrugell are both nice places. They're touristy, so there's lots to do, lots of accommodation, and plenty of places to eat.

But you can't do anything in the summer. It's too hot, too busy, and too expensive.

Spring and Autumn are a bit cooler. Still nice — if we're going to work on Django nicer even — but less crowded, and a lot easier on the wallet.

What do the days look like?

We're going to work on Django in the mornings, until early afternoon.

The rest of the day and evenings are for exploring, socialising or not, and having fun.

Can I stay a bit longer?

Of course! There's plenty to see and do around. Come early. Stay for longer. Bring the family. All up to you.

Can I sponsor?

Absolutely! The main thing we need is a Breakfast Sponsor. (Could that be you? Reach out!) If we can get more than that, we can try to do opportunity grants, and such.
