Renfe



 The inside of Atocha, one of the two major train stations in Madrid.
The exterior of Atocha.
It was good to ride the rails again. This is the very efficient Renfe or the Spanish rail system. Besides Atocha, there's another train station on the other side of town, Charmatin. We stayed within walking distance of Atocha. The day we left to go to Burgos, we made the mistake of going to Atocha because the clerk who sold us the train ticket never told us we leave from Charmatin. We had to run, jumped into a taxi, he drove like a speed demon, got us to Charmatin at the nick of time to take the train to Burgos.
