Madrid Printable View. Show post s from this thread on one page Page 1 of 5 1 2 3 4 5 Last Jump to page:. I got stuck in Madrid airport for several hours and decided to go and explore the city.
There's a bus from the airport straight to the city centre its very reasonable 3 eurp if I remember correctly. It dops you at a central square. I just did not fancy sitting around and thought I could get a better meal in the centre than at the airport which I did. After I had eaten I went for a wander around the city and came across the aptly name Plaza des Angels. There were some girls clearly working the square but I did not approach or ask prices as I did not really fancy them.
On a street off the square there is a very classy looking Hamman Massage place called Medina or something like that. It looked like a genuine massage place without any sort of of happy ending but by that time I was very footsore and the thought of a proper massage seemed very appealing. Unfortunately the place ran an appointment system and had nothing available until too late so I asked if there was anywhere else locally and they directed me to a street called Gran Via which was actually very close to where the square where the airport bus had dropped me earlier.
Its a long street and mainly department stores and offices. I did not see any massage parlours but I did spot I very nice looking Bulgarian girl loitering outside one of the stores. I was not sure at first but she made good eye contact so I tried my hand as she was indeed working.
I guess its possible that the receptionist at the massage place had misread my original honourable intentions and had directed me to the girls rather than another massage place. We went to her appartment which was about 10 minutes walk on aching feet but all that was forgotten when I emerged 40 minutes later feeling refreshed and ready for the rest of my journey. If you want to go straight to Gran Via then when you get of the bus you take the first road of the square moving anti clockwise from the busstop its called calle alcala, you walk along this road for a couple of minutes and Gran Via is a right fork off this Road.
