 == Airport Transportation 
 
-[https://www.heathrowexpress.com/ Heathrow Express] - there are also ticket kiosks where you can purchase an Heathrow Express ticket before you get on the train, but the web site is cheaper..
+Depending on what terminal you're landing, there are several transport options to reach the venue
 
-To catch the Heathrow Express at Heathrow Airport:
+There are different bus lines, metro and train. Google maps offers very good information of all the choices.
 
-For Heathrow Airport terminals 1, 2 and 3, follow the signs inside the terminal buildings for Heathrow Central train station.
+Of course, you can take a taxi, or Uber. In those cases, it should not take more than 15 minutes, and around 20 Euros.
 
-For Heathrow Terminal 4, follow the signs inside the terminal building for the free shuttle bus service to Heathrow Central train station, where you can get on the Heathrow Express train. The shuttle service from Terminal 4 departs every 15 minutes and is a 4 minute journey.
+If you prefer public transport, Cuzco and Plaza de Castilla metro stations are at 5 and 10 minutes walking distance to the hotel, respectively.
 
-For Heathrow terminal 5, follow the signs inside the building for Heathrow Terminal 5 train station.
-
-To make the return journey to Heathrow Airport from Paddington Station:
-
-At London Paddington, the Heathrow Express usually departs from platforms 6 and 7, but check the electronic boards inside the station for the latest information.
-
-Please NOTE: Departing from London Paddington, the first train is at 5.10am and the last train is at 11.25pm.
-
-Departing from Heathrow Terminal 5, the first train is at 5.07am and the last train is at 11.42pm.
-
-Departing from Heathrow Central, the first train is at 5.12am Monday to Saturday and 5.08am on Sundays. The last train is at 11.48pm.
-
-For Heathrow Terminal 4, the first shuttle to Heathrow Central train station is at 5.23am Monday to Saturday and 5.53am on Sundays.
-
-Main alternative is to take the Underground (= metro). This much cheaper (~£5 vs ~£25 single) and much slower (~50 minutes vs ~15 minutes to Paddington). 
-
-For nearly all public transport in London (including bus, metro and most trains), you can either use your contactless credit or debit card, or else use an Oyster card - but unfortunately not on the Heathrow Express. 
-
-Oyster Card [https://tfl.gov.uk/fares-and-payments/oyster/what-is-oyster]. If you have a contactless credit or debit card with a logo of concentric arcs, in most cases you can use that instead of Oyster and pay the same.
+The Public Transport Consortium web site offers all the relevant information [https://www.crtm.es/?lang=en].
