Our recommendations
In terms of price to time ratio, the metro is the best option. It also covers times when the bus is not running, for example, bank holidays, Sundays, or after 10:00 pm.
Fernanbus (line 150) is a convenient option if you are not in a hurry. It stops right in front of the Arrivals exit, it has frequent enough departures and you won’t have to take your suitcase up and down any stairs.
If you really are in a hurry or are getting there very late at night, consider taking a taxi.
