                <description><![CDATA[I recommend using buses rather than trains for getting between towns and cities in Spain. They are both cheaper and quicker than the trains which tend to take indirect routes and are unreliable. The best routes to use the train for is between Barcelona to Madrid (2 hours) and Madrid to Seville (2 hours). These routes are covered by the AVE - an express train which covers the large distances between both points in a couple of hours rather than the usual 6-7 hours which the much slower regional 'express' trains take.]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[Take the metro from Barajas airport to central Madrid for 1 euro - and every single trip costs the same. We bought a weekly card and did not use it. Everything in central Madrid is so close that we walked - from the Palacio Real to the Prado is only 20 minutes, provided you can avoid the bars!]]></description>

                <description><![CDATA[The Barajas Metro Line (number 8) takes only fifteen minutes to deposit passengers in the centre of Madrid's financial district (Nuevos Ministerios). Taxis are available from the airport, but be sure not to accept offers made inside the terminals.]]></description>
