Madrid's New Terminal

We awoke early, checked out of our hotel, and made our way using the Metro to the new Airport Terminal. The metro proved to be a very, very easy and inexpensive way to get from our hotel to the airport - only taking about 30-40 mins. You do have to pay an extra Euro, but at 2 Euros, nothing is going to beat this price.

The metro drops you off in the base of the Terminal, and escalators take you up to the main concourse, which is a beautiful airy space. It may be one of the most amazing terminals I've ever been in.

We grabbed a quick bite at McDonalds, and then hopped on our Vueling commuter flight from Madrid to Barcelona. The cost of our flight was amazingly cheap, but we quickly learned that the reason it is so cheap is that there is NO LEG ROOM. The seat spacing is the tightest I've ever seen - even tighter than Ryanair. Luckily the flight was only an hour. . .
