This week, there are some new trains being put into service between Santiago and Madrid. It reduces the travel time to 5h and 35 minutes.

One example:


This makes the train an interesting alternative to the plane in travel to/from Santiago - Madrid.

Buen Camino!

Hi Ivar:
Which station in Madrid should one choose? I will be staying near the airport as my flight the following day leaves at 6am. Any suggestions?

Thanks! And also thanks for this amazing website!!

It has been a while since I had to travel from a Madrid train station to the airport, but I believe there is a new local train now from Atocha to the airport. This local train is much faster than the subway.

Buen camino!

There may be stops other than Madrid-Chamartin. It is not difficult to get from Chamartin to the airport.
