We leave
Apartamentos DV at 10:00 am dragging our suitcases behind us. It’s
only a few metro stops to the Estatio Sants, which has both a metro
and a regional station. Eventually we find the Madrid bound train,
after undergoing several security and ticket checks along the way.
The train, which hits 302kph is “as smooth as silk”. The scenery
alternates between barren landscape, vines or wind and solar farms.
The Madrid-Atocha station is a beautiful 19th century
building. It’s a fairly straight forward walk, albeit slightly uphill from the station to
our accommodation which has amongst other delights, a washing
machine. Next door to the apartment is a tapas bar, which we utilise
after settling in. We are very close to the centre of Madrid and as we wander about the narrow streets of the capital, we come across a number of vintage Fiats and one poor, lost Citroen.
