Today see’s the first flight for Iberia Express to Madrid (MAD/LEMD) from Wales National Airport.
The Spanish Low-Cost Carrier (LCC) will operate its first flight (IB3687) from Cardiff Airport (CWL/EGFF) at 18:05 this evening arriving in the Spanish capital around 2 hours later.
Spain’s capital is a city of boulevards and beautiful parks such as the Campo Del Caso. Its vibrant main square, the Plaza Mayor is the place to head for a coffee or an afternoon drink in the heart of the city.
Madrid is also a mecca for football fans with Wales & Real Madrid star Gareth Bale making it his home. There is, of course, that other team, Atletico Madrid.
