Cercanias is a service close to what the subway is. I mean, it is used
daily by thousands to move around Madrid (Province). Its price is around
1 EUR for that trip, and IIRC it should be free for those changing long
distance trains between Chamartin and Atocha. I could confirm this
calling Renfe this week.
