From someone who's been doing this trip for the last 20 years.......the best way would be to take a cap from Barajas airport to the bus station. But be careful, there is more than one. The one that has buses that go to Salamanca is located on calle Fernandez Shaw. Might want to write that down on a paper to show the drive: AutoRes, C/Fernandez Shaw. The buses are VERY comfortable and yes, there is space underneath for your luggage. But I would also recommend paying a little extra for the EXPRES bus, which means there are no stops in between. The ride takes about 2 1/2 hours. The "regular" bus takes about 3 +/- hours and makes several stops. If you have any other salamanca questions, feel free to write to me. salachic@yahoo.com
