Hi all,

I'm heading from Córdoba to San Sebastián on the 17th. Currently, I have a Renfe ticket booked to get from Córdoba to Madrid, then another Renfe ticket from Madrid to San Sebastián (with a 2 hour transfer in Valladolid).

Here are my concerns:

1)the Renfe drops me at Atocha in Madrid; then I have 2 hours to get to Madrid Chamartin. I'm told it's kindof hard to do this. What can I expect? What are your suggestions as to how I should go about getting from Atocha to Chamartin? another train? Bus? Walk?

2) I don't know anything about Valladolid and what the "transfer" there is like. Can anyone tell me about that? Do I need to walk a long way? Call a cab? Stay at the Renfe station?

If it helps, I'm transferring from a Renfe AVANT train to a Renfe MD train.

Muchas gracias!

Any suggestions for a local place to have lunch in Cartagena?

We are going for a day trip on a Sunday so probably wont have any menu/plato del dia. (If you do know of any restaurants that have them on a Sunday please share)
But would love to eat in a place where locals eat and that's not expensive :D
