Motor Development
and Learning
in Infancy II:
Fundamental
Concepts and Applications
Program (click here for a pdf version)
DECLARADO DE
INTERÉS CIENTÍFICO-SANITARIO
(CONSIDERED OF
SANITARY-SCIENTIFIC INTEREST)
INVITATION
On May 2001
researchers and practitioners working on perceptual- motor development met in
Amsterdam to discuss together the latest advances in the field. They were three
intensive days where well- known names in the areas as well as young scientists
had the opportunity to show us their newest ideas and studies. And all of us
could enjoy a wonderful weather and romantic cruises around Amsterdam’s Canals.
This time we
will meet in the sunny Spain. We will devote our Conference to Fundamental
Concepts and Applications from a multidisciplinary perspective. We welcome
researchers and practitioners in movement science, psychology, paediatrics,
physical activity and neuroscience to submit oral and poster presentations.

Closure Dinner at the Cultural Casino
(Address: Calle Trapería, 31) with ‘Tuna’ show.
The Casino is the traditional social club in the
Spanish cities. The building has an eclectic style with decorative elements
from classical and modern trends where Arabic, Jewish and Christian cultures
are presented. It is one of the main attractions of the city.
The ‘Tuna’ is not a fish, but a traditional musicians
group composed by university students. All universities and many faculties in
Spain have their own ‘Tuna’. The ‘tunos’ (singers) are famous for the joy and
irony of the lyrics of their songs. When somebody wants to conquer a girl, he
sends the ‘Tuna’ to sing under her balcony.
Note: During the period of the Conference, Murcia will be celebrating
the 3 cultures Festival where many cultural performances (music, dance,
cinema, exhibitions, etc.) will take place. It is a celebration of the Arabic,

Tourist information
Spain
A trip to
Spain is a celebration of diversity, an opportunity to enjoy our excellent
climate, excellent cuisine and joie de vivre. But also, it is a chance
to discover our exceptional monumental heritage; to experience our unique,
dazzling natural environment; to become acquainted with the customs of our
people and to share with them their holiday celebrations and popular
traditions.
Barcelona, Madrid, Córdoba, Sevilla, Bilbao, Murcia are
examples of the harmonious coexistence of tradition and modernity in every
Spanish city. Spain has the highest number of historic urban compounds that
have been declared World Heritage by UNESCO. Each of these cities is part of
the rich, diverse cultural legacy of humankind throughout history. We also
count with 4,000 km of coastline where the visitor can enjoy the sun and sea in
gorgeous settings: from vast beaches with golden sands to hidden coves flanked
by cliffs. Thirteen National Parks are deeply committed to the conservation and
enjoyment of rich, diverse ecosystems found nowhere in Europe. A visit to Spain
is worthwhile!
Murcia
Murcia is
situated in the Southeast of Spain, in the region of the same name. The latest
population figures sum up a total of nearly 350,000 habitants. Murcia is
situated 388 kms. from Madrid, 75 Kms. from Alicante and 220 kms. from Almería.
The city enjoys all-the-year round sunshine, meaning that the climate is dry
and temperature has a yearly average of 17,5 Celsius degrees. It lies at a
crossroads of routes and cultures, surrounded by a tapestry of greenery, a
garland of flowers and fruit which have caused it to be known as the Market
Garden of Europe.
The venue of
the Conference will be the Facultad de Letras in the Campus de La Merced. This
Campus is based in a convent built by the Brothers of Mercy in 1628 and it’s
worth while popping into the cloister with its two levels of slender
arches.

Travel
Spain has an extensive
transport network that connects every corner of the country. There are several
options to get to Murcia. The city has its own airport (San Javier airport)
with daily flights from Madrid and Barcelona. But the best option to get by plane
is to go to Alicante Airport where you can get a coach or train to Murcia
(please check timetables with the airport). Another option is to get to Madrid
(Barajas Airport) and then get a train or coach to Murcia.

Insurance
The Organising Committee
cannot be held responsible for any loss, accident, illness or damage occurring
during the congress. Participants are recommended to take insurance for such
risks.
Banking
The actual Spanish
currency is the Euro. It is recommended that visitors arriving in the weekend
should have sufficient euro currency. All banks are closed at weekends.
However, exchange offices are open at the airport seven days a week and there
are numerous cash dispensers throughout the city. Major credits cards are
accepted at most locations.
Timetable
Please note that the
Spanish timetable is a bit different from the European. Shops and banks usually
open around 9.00 or 10.00 AM and close at 14.00 PM. Shops open again at 17.00
until 21.00 PM. This is because Spanish people have their main meal at lunch
time and afterwards... we need a siesta!
Weather and dress
The
medium temperature expected in Murcia in May would be around 25ºC.
Occasionally, we could have rain showers. Informal dress in all occasions.
We recommend bringing
sunglasses and sun protector (you can also buy them here) if you are not used
to the sunshine. You might bring your swimming dress as well, just in case an
opportunity to go to the beach turns up!
