1st International Workshop: 
The New Generation in Strongly Correlated Electron Systems,
20-26 June 2010, Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, Canary Islands, Spain
Social events:
A welcome reception will take place at Hotel Hesperia Dorada Sunday 20th starting at 19:00 pm.

On Wednesday we will have the conference excursion. We will enjoy the exotic volcanic landscape of the island with two possible choices: walking for about three hours in the
Parque Natural de los Volcanes (google map) or a bus tour around National Park of Timanfaya. For trekking be sure to bring appropriate shoes, a hat and sun protection.

In the following there is a brief description of the possible choices:
1. By bus: We will visit Timanfaya National Park stopping by on striking geological features of considerable scientific value. We will take a short walk around emblematic landscapes such as "El Golfo" (The gulf) a semicircular volcano crater with its famous "Laguna verde" (green lagoon) sea water partially filling the base of the crater. We will also visit "Los Hervideros" (Boiling Waters) a chain of caves and blow holes. Finally we will have a photo in the Salinas viewpoint.
2. On foot: We will walk in the Parque Natural de los Volcanes about three hours through Guaco root across lava flows (do not forget the trekking or sport shoes!) where we will get into the spectacular Raven crater (4 km). We will also take a walk around the "Montaña Colorada" (2.5 km). We will finish our excursion having the singular local wine in a wine cellar situated in "La Geria". The vineyards are planted in the middle of the volcanic-like surroundings giving rise to a unique landscape.
Both excursions start at 14:30 and end at 19:15 at the conference Hotel.
The NGSCES2010 participants' choice has to be known before 30 of May.
