Workshop 
HOMEHotel: The Workshop
will take place in the Eurotel
Punta
Rotja,
located on the north-eastern coast of Mallorca.
One of the FTM mafiosi (AZ) visited the hotel in June of
2014, together with the local arrangements chair Enrique
Calleja, and both were favorably impressed. Below are some of
their observations:
HOTEL: Seven story building right on the water. Large,
comfortable rooms with nice views on both sides of the
hotel. Each room contains a sofa, in addition to
the double or two single beds, children comfortably
accommodated. Very good wi-fi
and air-conditioning. Hotel has a large, calm
terrace, with a pool and a small sand beach with only a single
point of entry into the water, but beautiful, transparent
waters (with sea stars and urchins visible below). Clay
tennis courts (4) adjacent to the hotel. There is a golf
course within walking distance; club rental available.
Bicycles will be arranged for a bike race. A large
public beach less than a mile away. Free entry to the
Thalassotherapy center, which is basically a constantly
flowing seawater jacuzzi, supposedly good for aging muscles
(additional services like massage available for a fee).
CONFERENCE FACILITIES: Two sufficiently large conference rooms available.
MEALS: Generous and high-quality buffet for breakfast and dinner (included in half-board room price), including plentiful cooked to order items.
EXCURSIONS: Small marina adjacent to the hotel, a sea excursion is being planned. Palma, the capital of Mallorca, is an hour away with a beautiful historic center, including a well-preserved gothic cathedral.
Arrival Day: the arrival day is Sunday, June 21. The conference will begin on Monday, June
22nd as usual.

Air: The main Mallorca airport is Palma (PMI) which is 70 km away from the hotel, an hour's drive on excellent roads (shuttle service will be arranged for arrival and departure days, June 21 and 26, rental cars available). The PMI airport has non-stop service by major airlines from many European cities: London (British Airways or Iberia), Paris (Iberia), Rome (Alitalia), Frankfurt (Lufthansa), Geneva and Zurich (Swiss), Madrid (Iberia). It is well-served by European low-cost carriers: Ryanair, Easyjet, Vueling have frequent service from many cities. Booking in advance is recommended for reasonable fares (e.g. Rome-Mallorca R/T can be had for under 100 euros in June, if booked 3 months in advance).
Auto/Ferry: There are ferries to Mallorca from Barcelona and Valencia on the Spanish mainland, as well as from other Balearic islands (Ibiza and Menorca). While most of the ferries go to Palma, there is a daily Barcelona-Alcudia ferry that takes under 7 hours and arrives a little closer to the hotel location.
Map: For those who drive from PMI here
are
the hotel maps (look for the map to Palma airport,
or download that map in PDF, 473 kb).
Taxi ride from PMI to the Hotel is 50 minutes and costs €80.
Sailboat: The hotel has
a small marina, so for the ultimate in stylish travel, sailing
in is always an option.
Further specialized
questions: The
sophisticated questions related to travel to/from the island
and/or how to combine conference business with personal tourism,
can be addressed to the savvy gentleman who handles our hotel
