It was easy to get around using ALSA and using the wifi was helpful. It would have been better if they all had phone outlets to charge phones. Some did and other didn't. The ones that did would not work.

Everything was almost perfect, except the driver leaving Madrid. He seems to be very arrogant making smart comments and gestures. Never seen this kind of attitude traveling in other countries.
