Madrid - Part Two

[chokkie]

Thanks again for your responses to my earlier question. Does anyone out there know about getting from Madrid airport to the city centre? Is there a shuttle bus which goes from the airport to the city centre? We will be arriving at the airport at about 2.00 pm local time, but would be grateful for a bit of information about how to get from the airport to the hotel on our arrival, please. Many thanks, chox.

The Metro is by far the easiest way to get into central Madrid. It's modern, clean, fast and air-conditioned.

I got the taxi in and
then the underground out
( for erm money reasons )

very good rail network
I got the overground to Complutum - you know where the complutensian bible comes from. from Atocha I think
now called Alcala de henares. Most northerly Muslim town in Ethpanya - so how come Charles martel beat the crap out of them at Roncevalles ? much further north

anyway that was why they blew it up apparently

I think I looked at goya's countess of cinchon
and went out there
Cinchon - there is in fact nothng there

and Philip II granite monstrosity the escorial

have phun !

Just take the metro from the airport to wherever you want to be in the city centre - it's dead easy and cheap.
