This thread is about some photos I took on two stopovers, one night and one halft day spent in Madrid in August 2016. The flight was between Copenhagen and San José (Costa Rica), and San Salvador and Copenhagen. It was sunny, dry and hot like hell, about 37 degrees C!
I also visited Madrid more thoroughly in February 2011 (I recommend to visit Madrid in winter and spring to avoid the heat), the pictures from this trip is on this page:

NH Barajas, a simple 3-star hotel near the airport that does its job. Modern and comfortable, but nothing more.
