A 1½ -hour Iberia flight directly from NCE to MAD started our day, and our first visit to the capital of Spain. We took the airport shuttle from Terminal 4 to Terminal 2, where, for just 1€ each, we took the Metro into Old Madrid, the historical center of the city. After spending the day strolling around, admiring the architecture and sculptures, enjoying the beautiful Retiro Park, people-watching in the lively plazas, and seeking out the museums and the palace, we realized that the Hotel Gaudi on the Gran Vía was well-situated for the majority of what we had planned to see. And what wasn’t within walking distance was easily accessible via the excellent Metro system.
