Thank you very much!!Siouxzy, which one?
You can easily get the metro into town right from the airport and then depending on the station (Chamartin or Atocha) you will have to change to another line going either north or south--there is an easy to follow map here:

I guess I'm catching a train from Madrid to Pamplona. Can I get on one going there from the airport? Kinda confusing. Never used rail services before.Siouxzy, which one?

I'm sure that was a typo (very common in Anemone posts - I think she already gave an explanation to this in one of her posts), because B and N are close on keyboards. Much more so if typing on smart phone.Actually that is Madrid Barajas T4! Narajas are oranges. Good to see that predictive texts fouls up just as much in Spanish as English.
Thank you KinkyOne. Yes, because I use this tablet in 3 languages I have given up on auto-correct sinc it keeps replacing words that are meant to be there by others. You would think with all this technology they could make these machines at last bilingual. If anuone knows how to teach my Ipad a new language without forgetting the first I am all ears. FYI, the airport is refered to as Barajas because that is the name of the arae where it's located. Also 'barajas' is a deck of playing cardsI'm sure that was a typo (very common in Anemone posts - I think she already gave an explanation to this in one of her posts), because B and N are close on keyboards.

Also oranges in Spanish are naraNjas

I certainly was able to find tickets from the airport, as the second stop, hence the importance of booking. And anniesantiago comfirms.Siouxzy:
If you are going to Pamplona you will be leaving from the Puerta de Atocha train station. You can not go direct from airport.
The directions to the Cercanias train, given by Grayland, are perfect. Purchasing your ticket here (RENFE office lower level T4) is a good idea because train stations tend to have lines. You can take a cab directly to Puerta de Atocha, from any terminal for (approx. 30 euros).
You can also take a bus from T4, if you prefer. I like the train because you have room to get up and walk around. They also have a little cafe car.
Ultreya,
