Quixote well you're really only
00:15
scratching the surface of what modern
00:17
Spain is all about
00:32
if you're flying into Madrid you'll
00:34
start off at the airport madrid-barajas
00:36
now you can catch a taxi to the center
00:38
for about 30 euros but a much cheaper
00:39
option is the subway Metro they
00:41
mothering most of the Metro cost 1 euro
00:45
but from the airport there's a
00:47
supplemental feed which fluctuates right
00:49
now it cost about an extra euro the
00:59
Madrid Metro is one of the safest
01:01
cleanest and most modern subway systems
01:03

01:05
