Using The Metro System


When you get to madrid, you will quickly figure out that using the Metro is the main way to get around town. If you are going to be there for a month, you should go head and buy the month pass; you will end up spending more money if you buy a single ticket every time. One ride cost 1 euro and if you buy 10 passes that cost 9 euro, so in the end you get one ride for free. The second piece of advice is to figure out your metro stop before you just hop on and ride. I, unfortunately, made that mistake the second day I was there. The maps are very easy to figure out so just take some time to check them out; it will make your life much easier. I was lucky enough to have a great Metro leader by the name of Mike Pecchia or also known as "Man Bear Pig". He did a really swell job guiding us through the metro stops, thanks Mike!
