Before you book, this may help
- Ávila to Madrid and Barajas: the conventional train from Ávila station or a car with a driver along the AP-51 and AP-6, and when each one makes sense
Ávila has a train to Madrid, but a conventional one: it leaves Ávila station, enters via El Escorial and ends at Chamartín, without reaching Atocha or Barajas directly and with gaps of hours between trains.
- Arévalo and La Moraña to Barajas, the Madrid stations and Valladolid airport: the A-6 in both directions, the Arévalo train and which way out suits each flight
Arévalo looks both ways along the A-6.
- VTC fleets in Ávila: a province split by Gredos, Ávila station, the AP-6 to Barajas and the Tiétar that looks to Madrid; how the cars are shared between the two sides of the range and how the fleet gets paid
Ávila works as two provinces for a fleet: north of Gredos, the capital and La Moraña look to Madrid and Barajas along the AP-51 and the AP-6; to the south, the Tiétar valley runs down to Madrid along the valley without going through the capital.
