Estación Madrid-Puerta de Atocha, seen from Burgos

On arrival: Madrid capital
The capital holds the stations, hospitals, trade fairs and most of the region's hotels. The pre-booked trips requested from here are those that leave the municipality: day trips, business transfers to neighbouring provinces and leisure in the southern metro area.
