    Madrid Airport Taxi Rip Off

    Cabify is a private cab company different than the cabs in the queue at the airport. I think it's only in Spain, Portugal and some countries in South America. I don't know why the fare was 23E. That's what I paid, though. The nice thing about Cabify (like other such companies - ie Lyft) is...

    I took a Cabify from the airport to Cuatro Caminos 3 weeks ago and it was 23€. Haven't ever take a cab so did not know about the flat rate. If I had only had my backpack, I would have taken the metro, bus or train. An option to taking a cab at the flat rate might be to take the metro to the...

    There is a major Spanish holiday starting Friday April 27 that will likely impact your travels. Plan to have your reservations made asap or avoid traveling between April 27 & May 2. Maybe try to get to Madrid by April 25 to sightsee a few days, then you can easily bus or metro or train...
