Driving through downtown Madrid at night was really not my thing, even with zero traffic. Nights are when the city does maintenance: garbage trucks collect trash from bins near buildings, they wash sidewalks in the city center (!), and do all sorts of other useful (and not so useful) stuff.

The catch is that they block off some roads and alleys while you're trying to navigate, and your GPS stubbornly insists you need to go down the temporarily closed lane. And when you skip a turn because there's a fence blocking it, that smart car lovingly reroutes you a couple kilometers out of the way, only to send you right back to the blocked alley you missed.

So to cover 650 meters, I ended up driving for like 20 minutes with a million detours.

Outside the city though, the roads are really nice. And driving is comfortable.
