The great station of southern Madrid: high-speed, long- and medium-distance trains and Cercanías, with metro L1 and the express bus to the airport at the door

Atocha, which Adif calls Madrid Puerta de Atocha Almudena Grandes, is the station for the high-speed, long- and medium-distance trains that enter Madrid from the south and east. It is open every day from 5:00 to 1:00 and stands on Glorieta del Emperador Carlos V, at the end of Paseo del Prado: the Prado Museum and El Retiro are a short walk away.
The Cercanías lines C2, C3, C4a, C4b, C5 and C7 leave from here. The C3 and C4 stop at Sol, so in a single journey you land at Puerta del Sol. Atocha metro station, on line 1, takes you to Antón Martín, Tirso de Molina, Sol and Gran Vía without changing.
To go to the airport, the EMT's Express Line 203 leaves from the station and reaches terminals T1, T2 and T4. Outside there are taxi ranks and stops for many urban bus lines, such as the 10, 14, 19 or 32, and night buses.
