English language monthly for all things Madrid. Entertaining and useful!
Still not a match for teleporting
I like the Madrid subway. There are some dumpier stations and problematic lines (5 and 6 have been the bane of my existence for years), but overall I'm happy with the Madrid metro system.... on a good day, bad days are another story.
Here are some of the connections I hate the most:
+ Diego de León. Long walk between lines 4, 5 and 6, but usually a necessary evil to make a good connection. Avenida de América isn't much better, but it's a lot more crowded.
+ Cuatro Caminos. Line 6 is probably the closest you'll ever get to the Earth's core, while 1 and 2 are just below the surface. Prepare to spend an eternity on the escalators.
+ Plaza de España. Transferring from line 10 or 3 to 2... are you kidding me? it's a whole other station!
+ Nuevos Ministerios. Not only is it long, but also very confusing. If you're taking 8 to the airport, give yourself a good 15-20 minutes to wander around this monstrous maze.
