Walk down the road to Nuevos Ministerios metro station and direct metro to airport. Might be a bit squeaky if it goes to extra time, but equally queues shouldn't be too bad at that time.

Have a look at the metro news. There are long term works going on between Columbia and Mar de Cristal so need to make two changes to airport.

Manchester-llama. Read the post on page 3 of 'Real Madrid away' about RENFE trains. There's more than one station inside Madrid Atocha. Go to the wrong one for your return to Alicante it could cost you a fortune. Best of luck!

So what your saying is you have to be careful once you get to the train station as there’s two stations within it? That’s fine as I’ll be there bright and early as I always am.

Got sorted for a ticket in the Madrid end from a Spanish guy at work, said the area we are in is fairly relaxed. Just need to keep our emotions in check :)

We made this mistake last time against Real, ended up having to get a hire car, There are stations for national trains going to the big cities (bullet trains) and local trains

I’ve booked from Alicante to Madrid Atocha, from my understanding Atocha is the Madrid central station. Did you book to go to another station? I’m a bit confused here!

We booked same train from Alicante to Atocha for the Atletico game. 300kmh train, excellent. Atocha is the big Madrid station, very central. Signposting in the station not great and security checks so would allow a decent half hour before departing back to Alicante.
(left our passports on a beach near Benidorm on way home, but that's another story)

I’m on the 06:50 train back to Alicante the morning after the game, I’ll have to be up early so I won’t be having much sleep!
