Views from the City: Terminal 4 at Barajas Airport

Now that I have my camera back, I will add postings that feature noteworthy architectural and cultural sites around Madrid and Spain.

Today's posting features the shots from Terminal 4 at Barajas Airport, Madrid's air hub. The terminal, which sits 10 minutes across from Terminals 1 - 3, was designed by architect Richard Rogers. In addition to the bamboo awnings, the terminal features a color coded check in and check out layout as well as an automatic luggage-sorting system, SATE, which distributes bags to and from the planes from a bomb proof bunker.

I took these photos upon my arrival to the country on Sept. 7. Enjoy!
