Friday Shoot-out - Extra

I almost didn’t do the Bogotá entry – just wasn’t sure I could come up with interesting photos (still not sure I did) and I was thinking of showing you the most beautiful underground subway station I have seen. Still seems the thing to do so here is…. The Madrid Underground

When traveling Camillo and I often visit the local subway. We figure out how the buy the tickets then ride out – going further than we would be able to on foot and at a much better price than a taxi.	The station of entry in central Madrid was nothing special - but we just wanted to see a different section of the city.
	When we finally decide to go to the surface, we get off the train and go up to see what we can see. This time we saw the most beautiful station ever – the blue lights depicts the Iguaçu falls in Brazil. There were three levels underground trains (lines that crisscross) plus a train station on the surface with inter city trains.

Madrid is a beautiful city, but the Chamartin subway station is a destination in itself. You could go anywhere in the city by subway, maybe having to change lines several times (Paris is the same way) but if your feet hold out – take the subway somewhere – any direction, then walk back on the surface – The rewards is worth your effort.

[don’t try this in Rio de Janeiro]
