I realise that many people have had bad experiences with taxis to and from the airport, but just wanted you to know that there are some good guys driving the taxis too.
My parents hailed a taxi outside Hostal Martin on Tuesday, they were on their way to catch a plane from Barajas to UK.
The fare was 2600 pts and they gave him 3000 pts (1 x 2000, 1 x 1000) saying 'Bale', keep the change type of thing. They left the taxi and the driver and started into the airport building. They then saw the driver running after them, having left his taxi. He told them they had given him too much and gave them 1000 pts back. Apparently they had handed over 1 x 2000 pts and 2 x 1000 pts by mistake.
It would have been all too easy for him to have stayed with his taxi and kept the extra 1000, but he didn't.
