Normally, the A5 can be accessed by taking junction (salida) 18 off the M30. On the A5, stick to the left lanes, as the road splits frequently. Stay on the A5 until you reach km 23.5, and you will see the Madrid Xanadu Park signposted quite clearly. Take either exit (salida) 22 or 25. There are 8,000 free parking spaces at the centre.

To drive to Madrid Xanadu takes about 30 minutes from the centre.
