the park is in the south of Madrid at San Martin de la Vega,you can take the car but for one day, less paperwork and cheaper will be the bus or cercanias train.

bus
No 412A from the interchange station at Villaverde Bajo Cruce on line 3 of Metro. take the La Veloz (fast bus) direct to park.
meaning for you from Barajas, take Line 8 to Nuevos Ministerios, then line 10 to Noviciados, and here take line 3 to Villaverde Bajo Cruce bus depot.
you can also take circular metro line 6 at Nuevos Ministerios and go all the way around city to Legazpi ,then take the bus there to park. The second choice will keep you seated in the metro longer and more rest.

cercanias train (suburbs)
From Atocha take line C3 direction Aranjuez ,get down in station reads Parque de Ocio. In your case, take the metro line 8 frm airport to Nuevos Ministerios, there connect to cercanias train to Atocha train station, and change at town of Pinto, then you reach the park in about 40 mins.

I prefered buses to train in your choice, car is nicer but coming in and out of airport better take the bus.Hope it helps

last i heard the mercado de cristal or san miguel was closed. the Rastro (Ribera de curtidores street, towards puerta de toledo ) is was and will be still the best place to go to the mercado. Also for books go to Cuesta de Moyano,connecting Prado museum with the Retiro park. cuesta is downslope street in spanish so its like Moyano street.

build around the year 1970 it harbors a great mosaic painting of Joan Miro and holds events, concerts, and conventions. It is by far the largest convention center in Spain and can welcome as much as 2000 persons. For those on business or looking to hold an event, this is the place to be/ very near the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, the Ministry of Defense and the Nuevos Ministerios govt buildings. Its tourist attraction lies in seen one excellent work of art of Joan Miro.
car parking plaza Joan Miro next to it, and it sits right on ave General Peron and Castellana,with exact location ^paseo de la Castellana 99; metro line 8 nuevos ministerios or line 10 santiago bernabeu.train Chamartin is very close about 5 mins
