I have read that there is a shuttle bus from Madrid airport to central hotels. Is there? I have only found a van shuttle service - Viator - for about $28. Has anyone found anything cheaper?

I would rather take a shuttle bus if there is one. Don't want to take the Metro - got robbed there last time and not anxious to return.Thanks for any information you can give me.

I don't know if this is the bus you mean, traveling-to-from-the-camino/topic9474.html because its main destination is Atocha, but it does have a stop at the Plaza de Colon. So, depending on where you are staying that bus could be a good option.

There is also a Madrid city bus that goes directly from the airport to the Avda de Americas bus station, where there are some accommodation options as well.

What part of the city will you be staying in? Have you considered going straight from Barajas to Atocha on the new bus, and getting right on a train, and then spend a day in Huelva to get over jet lag ibefore you start to walk?

Buen camino, Laurie
 
Thanks Laurie, that's the one I remember reading... Was thinking of Madrid central, either Bruna or Persal.

Now that you mention it, might not be a bad idea to get right on a train at Atocha and go to Huelva. I Had planned one day in Madrid and one in Huelva, but would be relaxing to spend 2 in Huelva too. Thinking, thinking...

Thanks again.
