Terminal 4 at Madrid-Barajas Airport.

Madrid's Terminal 4 at the Adolfo Suárez Madrid-Barajas airport is a relatively new structure. Completed in 2006, the terminal remains one of the largest airport terminals in the world. The design by Antonio Lamela and Richard Rogers utilizes large undulating canopies with domes which allow natural light to enter into the terminal area. The use of large expanses of windows also gives the terminal an open. light feel.

Many of the design elements seem futuristic, unusual, and abstract. The colors also vary, giving the travelers a sense of play and variety.

Throughout the Terminal, one finds food courts and shopping areas making the experience and stay at the airport more relaxing and welcoming.

The Terminal offers connection with Madrid´s Metro system and with the interurban rail service. In addition,  express buses link the airport to various parts of the city.

The Spanish Ministerio de Fomento has renamed the airport Aeropuerto Adolfo Suárez, Madrid–Barajas. This change seeks to honor Suárez's role as the first Prime Minister of Spain after the restoration of democracy.with the dissolution of Franco's Dictatorship.

Hopefully, you will have the opportunity to fly into Terminal 4 and experience its unique spaces.
