- Azuqueca, Alovera and the Henares corridor to Madrid without a car: what the Cercanías does well, what it does not reach (Barajas, the nights) and what a car with a driver costs
For commuting to Alcalá or Madrid, the C-2 Cercanías from Azuqueca or Guadalajara is hard to beat: it stops at Alcalá, Torrejón, Chamartín and Atocha and runs every few minutes at peak times.
