My boyfriend and I were wanting to see Segovia, but arrived really early at Chamartin one day to see that all trains were fully booked. We booked the tickets online and the prices ranged between 6€ - 30€ (all tourist class and same duration of...More

This is one of Madrid's main hubs for the cercanias, metro and high speed trains. What a dump. Dirty, ugly, and old. It is in dire need of an update. Don't even think of using bathrooms! I have seen cleaner bathrooms in a roadside gas...More
