If flights appear expensive, it may be worth considering a flight to London and a cheap economy flight to Madrid.

Barajas Airport has a metro which takes you directly to the centre and is a very cheap way to travel. Their website is very easy to use and has an English option

Please be careful on the metro. Thieves are experienced at picking out people who have just arrived and are busy watching their bags and looking at their Madrid Maps. Be aware and keep you money and important documents in a safe place.
