Getting to hotels:

From the
airport to hotels and back:
Taxi: The easiest way is to take a taxi, which

convenient.

doors in the arrivals area of the airport. Take
bus
number 20. To be sure you are on the way to the city
center ask the driver. Get off at last stop, called
'Gregorio Marañon'. This stop is indicated in the
above map (number 1 inside green circle) and there you can
see the way to your hotel. All hotels are walking
