In detail: '''1. get to Plaça d'Espanya square''' * from the Barcelona El Prat airport: follow the indications for the Aerobus (6.75€ one way, 11.65€ return. The return ticket is valid for 90 days). In case you prefer a cheaper option, refer to the Calafou wiki accessible here: https://wiki.calafou.org/index.php/INFO_B%C3%81SICA#How_to_get_there Once you are in Plaça d'Espanya square, look for the underground FGC (ferrocarril) station (ferrocarril is a kind of local train, but it is not the most common one). You should see the FGC logo like this: https://www.fgc.cat/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/logo-FGC-square.png * from the metro network: get to "Espanya" metro station, it is reachable with the metro lines L1 (red) and L3 (green). Once you get off from the metro, you need to follow the indication for the FGC (ferrocarril) trains (ferrocarril is a kind of local train, but it is not the most common one). You will see this green FGC logo: https://www.fgc.cat/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/logo-FGC-square.png The two stations are underground and connected, but they are physically separated and each one has its own ticket to be bought. '''3. buy the ticket and take the right train and get off at "Vallbona d'Anoia" stop''' Once you get to the FGC (ferrocarril) station, go to the ticket vending machines and click: * language * FGC single ticket * 1 journey * other FGC destinations * go down until finding "Vallbona" The price is 7.35€ Both (and only) R6 and R60 trains will take you to Vallbona d'Anoia. The journey should take 80 min approx, as you can see on the time table https://www.fgc.cat/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/R6_Igualada_LA_octubre_20.pdf '''4. walk to Calafou:''' See the map here IMAGE or follow this walking route on OpenStreetMaps: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_car&route=41.52011%2C1.70947%3B41.51159%2C1.70357#map=16/41.5153/1.7068 If you don't want to get to Calafou walking (20 min downhill) you can try to get someone to come from Calafou with a car. Going back: You can buy the FGC ticket inside the train station building and you should obliterate it there (try with the yellow slot at the center of a black rectangle on the wall next to the ticket vending machine). In the Vallbona d'Anoia train station there are two train tracks, but the trains in both directions just use the same track: the one closer to the train station building. {{attachment:howtofindcalafou.png||width=500}} '''Entrance to Calafou''' |

Basic information to be in Calafou
Please take a look in the official calafou's wiki about the basic information when you are in Calafou https://wiki.calafou.org/index.php/INFO_B%C3%81SICA#English
How to get there
You can find instructions below or on Calafou's wiki here:
https://wiki.calafou.org/index.php/INFO_B%C3%81SICA#How_to_get_there
By train
The basic steps are:
- get to Plaça d'Espanya square;
- enter "Barcelona - Pl. Espanya" FGC train station;
- buy the ticket and take the right train and get off at "Vallbona d'Anoia" stop;
- walk to Calafou.
In detail:
1. get to Plaça d'Espanya square
* from the Barcelona El Prat airport: follow the indications for the Aerobus (6.75€ one way, 11.65€ return. The return ticket is valid for 90 days). In case you prefer a cheaper option, refer to the Calafou wiki accessible here: https://wiki.calafou.org/index.php/INFO_B%C3%81SICA#How_to_get_there Once you are in Plaça d'Espanya square, look for the underground FGC (ferrocarril) station (ferrocarril is a kind of local train, but it is not the most common one). You should see the FGC logo like this: https://www.fgc.cat/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/logo-FGC-square.png
* from the metro network: get to "Espanya" metro station, it is reachable with the metro lines L1 (red) and L3 (green). Once you get off from the metro, you need to follow the indication for the FGC (ferrocarril) trains (ferrocarril is a kind of local train, but it is not the most common one). You will see this green FGC logo: https://www.fgc.cat/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/logo-FGC-square.png The two stations are underground and connected, but they are physically separated and each one has its own ticket to be bought.
3. buy the ticket and take the right train and get off at "Vallbona d'Anoia" stop
Once you get to the FGC (ferrocarril) station, go to the ticket vending machines and click:
- language
- FGC single ticket
- 1 journey
- other FGC destinations
- go down until finding "Vallbona"
The price is 7.35€
Both (and only) R6 and R60 trains will take you to Vallbona d'Anoia.
The journey should take 80 min approx, as you can see on the time table https://www.fgc.cat/wp-content/uploads/2020/10/R6_Igualada_LA_octubre_20.pdf
4. walk to Calafou:
See the map here IMAGE or follow this walking route on OpenStreetMaps: https://www.openstreetmap.org/directions?engine=graphhopper_car&route=41.52011%2C1.70947%3B41.51159%2C1.70357#map=16/41.5153/1.7068 If you don't want to get to Calafou walking (20 min downhill) you can try to get someone to come from Calafou with a car.
Going back:
You can buy the FGC ticket inside the train station building and you should obliterate it there (try with the yellow slot at the center of a black rectangle on the wall next to the ticket vending machine). In the Vallbona d'Anoia train station there are two train tracks, but the trains in both directions just use the same track: the one closer to the train station building.

Extra note: regretably public swimming pool opens in June, so we would not be able to swim. And remember that the river is polluted
Weather
The forecasted maximum and minimum temperatures for that week are max 27 °C and min 10 °C. So, during the night, it can get quite chilly.
Also, the weather forecast gives a non-negligible probability that it will rain. The ground between buildings in Calafou is, in some parts, unpaved, choose your shoes accordingly
What we do
In brief: we will have organized talks, workshops and discussion panels on community networks and wireless mesh networks (see Call for Participation). There will also be more informal activities: cooperative hacking, self-organized projects, and (we hope) delightful conversations!
Full schedule: #Talk_Schedule_and_Workshops
In addition, there may be a self-organized wireless mesh network, running different routing protocols to compare them. Please coordinate directly on the battlemesh mailing list to make that happen.

About the Battlemesh V15 logo
This year's logo shows a traditional Catalonian "human tower" or Castell. The enxaneta (person on top) carries on their shoulders a large microwave dish which you have seen in previous Battlemesh logos.
What do castells mean *nowadays* in popular culture?
Men-only castells were a declining tradition only a few decades ago. As soon as inclusive colles castelleres (i.e., teams of castellers) appeared in the late 1980s, the castells tradition flourished again and became an open, welcoming, family-friendly, intergenerational activity.
This meant not only more fun, but also better castells. I think Catalan society learnt a valuable lesson from that.
As you may imagine, the higher the castell goes, the bigger and sounder the base (i.e., the pinya) needs to be. This requires lots of people supporting the tower from the bottom. Even in the most signified castells competitions, which occur regularly, it is *common practice* that members from one colla castellera (and also friends, family, supporters, etc.) help a competing colla castellera to fer pinya [1], so that all the castells that are build during the event become more solid and robust.
Isn't it the whole purpose of putting the protocols at test during the Battlemesh, to make them more solid and robust through collaboration of all participants?
