Llegada a España

¡Hola desde España!

So far so good. Flight was delayed by about 30 mins, but very smooth, with lovely views when the clouds parted, of London, the north and south Breton coasts, the Spanish coast near Santander (I think), and various mountains as we descended towards Adolfo Suárez Madrid–Barajas.

In case you were wondering, Adolfo Suárez was Spain’s first prime minister after the end of Franco’s regime, who oversaw Spain’s transition to democracy in the late 1970s.

Terminal 4 (and 4S too) was designed by none other than Richard Rogers, who incidently also designed Heathrow T5. You decide which looks better!

I eventually managed to escape from the airport labyrinth and will very shortly board the bus to Burgos.Läs mer
