From Madrid City to University (UAM)

Line C4 stops in "Atocha" (main railway station in the center/south of Madrid), "Nuevos Ministerios" (a hub for metro and local trains) and Chamartin (main railway station in the North of Madrid). The sequence of stations is: "Atocha", "Nuevos Ministerios", "Chamartin", "Fuencarral" and "Cantoblanco Universidad", where you should get down. Travel time between any two stations is about 5-6 minutes.

"Atocha" and "Chamartin" railway stations are the main railway stations of Madrid and have several sections also for long-distance trains. You should look for "Cercanias", which is marked with this sign.

At the "Cercanias" station you should buy a single ticket (in Spanish "billete de ida" or "billete sencillo", 1.35 Euros) to "Cantoblanco Universidad". You should take a train of line C4 with final destination either "Tres Cantos", "Colmenar Viejo" or "Alcobendas-San Sebastian de los Reyes".

After getting off at "Cantoblanco Universidad" station, it is only a small walk to "Residencia Erasmo".
