Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas, seen from Ciudad Real
From Ciudad Real you can reach Barajas by AVE, changing at Atocha, but with luggage and for early flights a direct car avoids the change. From eastern La Mancha, with no high-speed rail, a car is almost the only comfortable option.
On arrival: Madrid capital
The capital holds the stations, hospitals, trade fairs and most of the region's hotels. The pre-booked trips requested from here are those that leave the municipality: day trips, business transfers to neighbouring provinces and leisure in the southern metro area.
When demand peaks
- Holiday departures (Easter, summer and Christmas): At the start and end of the holidays, high-speed trains to Madrid and Andalusia and transfers to Barajas from all over the province fill up at the same time. The first flights and first trains of the day are the first to run out of space.
Tip: If you are going to the Almagro festival, say when the performance ends: pickup is set for when you come out, not for a rough time.
Airport pickup
For arrivals, the driver waits in the terminal with a name sign and helps with your luggage. We track the flight number, so a delay costs nothing extra within the terminal’s complimentary waiting time.

Tolls and parking, where the route requires them, are itemised in the quote and charged to the customer, with one exception: for airport destinations, if traffic calls for it, the route along the radial toll motorways is included at no cost provided there are at least 3 hours between pickup and the flight's departure.

Before you book, this may help
- From Ciudad Real and Puertollano to Barajas airport: AVE with a change or a direct car
Ciudad Real has what almost no other Castilla-La Mancha capital has: an AVE that reaches Atocha in under an hour.
- The La Mancha of Alcázar and Tomelloso: how to reach Barajas without AVE and what the Alcázar rail junction is for
The north-east of Ciudad Real province is the La Mancha of the Campo de Criptana windmills, the wineries of Tomelloso and Socuéllamos and the Alcázar de San Juan rail junction, through which trains run to Madrid, the east coast and Andalusia but none of them high-speed.
- Valdepeñas, Manzanares and La Solana: to Madrid and Barajas with the Ciudad Real AVE or by car on the A-4, and the wine route
Valdepeñas and Manzanares sit on the A-4 and have conventional railway stations, but no high-speed one: the nearest AVE leaves from Ciudad Real, {{ruta:valdepenas-a-estacion-ave-ciudad-real:km}} from Valdepeñas, {{ruta:manzanares-a-estacion-ave-ciudad-real:km}} from Manzanares and {{ruta:la-solana-a-estacion-ave-ciudad-real:km}} from La Solana, and no bus reaches that station in time for the first train.
