BY MOTORWAY

The Motorway from Madrid leads into the
avenue ‘Avenida del Cid’ that in turn takes you to the
square called ‘Plaza de España’. Once you are
in ‘Plaza de España’, you have to turn right
and go through the underpass that leads into the avenue ‘Gran
Vía Marqués del Turia’. Continue along to the
end of the avenue until you get to the bridge ‘Puente de Aragón’,
which is straight ahead. On the other side, you will find a large
roundabout (‘Plaza de Zaragoza’). You need to follow
the avenue ‘Avenida de Aragón’ and at the end
you will find a second roundabout (in the avenue ‘Avenida
Blasco Ibañez’). Just after this and following the
same direction towards Barcelona, take a right turning following
the signs for ‘Universidad Politécnica’ and go
on 200 metres down a street that crosses the tram line. Just after
crossing the tram line, you have to turn right again to the avenue
‘Avenida de los Naranjos’. On the left hand side you
have the main entrance of the University.
