Other Transport Options from Madrid Airport to Alcala de Henares
Alcalá de Henares is close to Barajas but surprisingly awkward by public transport:
- Cercanías C-2 Complex: Cercanías train C-2 to Alcalá requires reaching Madrid Atocha first (Metro L8 €5 then C-2 €4) - total 60-75 min with connection and €9+ in tickets. Simple 30km journey unnecessarily complicated.
- Direct Bus 229: Bus 229 connects airport to Alcalá directly but very limited schedule, takes 40-55 min, stops at industrial areas not city center, luggage space minimal.
- Taxi Reasonable: Taxis to Alcalá charge €35-50 for 30km via A-2 motorway - 25-35 min. Good value for UNESCO university city but airport rank queues apply.
- Rental Car: Self-drive via A-2 motorway 25-30 min. Spanish motorway tolls minimal on this route. Alcalá historic center has parking near Cervantes birthplace.
