Antonio, maybe I remember your email, but don't believe it. hehehe.. See the image of me holding a bus schedule which I got last year (spring 1999) at the bus booth on the Puerta del Sol @ http://www.madridman.com/fotos/busschedule.jpg

Maybe they ONLY give these to tourists now and NOT to Spaniards. Who knows, maybe I got THE last one. hehehee.. Still, I'm sure it would be easier for most people to get them at the tourist offices where the people there will speak English.

Saludos, MadridMan
