My trip to Madrid
(also Toledo, El Escorial, Avila, Segovia on 15.03...21.03.2001) To visit Toledo is very good choise to take a bus (605 pts) from Estacion Sur de Autobuses (Mendez Alvaro metro stop), because there are problems with parking in this city. Busses leave after evry 30 minutes and trip takes 60-90 minutes depending on traffic. They said that train will take 75 minutes.
To visit El Escorial, Avila and Segovia we used car. Parking is still problem, but view from car window in nice too (higest point crossing mountains 1880 m). 1. Map with visited cities
