Since Cordoba is strategically located on the high-speed train (AVE) line, the AEDEAN organizing committee has arranged with RENFE a 30% discount on AVE train tickets for registered participants at the 42nd AEDEAN Conference.

You will need a personal authorization from the organizing committee to get your discount tickets. To get this document, please contact us (ff1pagam@uco.es) and we will gladly send it to you as soon as possible. You will also get your registration number to the conference which is necessary to fill in the form and get the discount.

The discount authorization will be requested at the check-in point in RENFE stations and should be kept until the end of the journey when travelling to and from Córdoba.

The Faculty was built in the 18th century and served as a hospital and the site of the Faculty of Medicine until the mid-20th century, when it was refurbished into a university building. It is located in the heart of the Jewish Quarter (Judería), a touristic area which got its name from the Jewish communities that lived there under the Caliphate and the rule of Christian kings up to their expulsion during the reign of Isabella and Ferdinand. The Synagogue and the Mosque Cathedral are some of the famous sights that can be visited in the historic centre of Cordoba, which became a Unesco World Heritage Site in 1984.

  • Address:
    Plaza De Maimonides 3
