Take a taxi to Parque del Buen Retiro and have a stroll and picnic. That's what I did, and it was worth every penny. You could also take in a museum, but I preferred the fresh air and exercise to break up a long journey home.

There's a Tourist Information booth at Barajas. You can easily and inexpensively take a train into Madrid. You can follow your interests. The tourist bus will give you a good overview of the main sights. If you choose to visit a museum, I'd go to the Thyssen-Bornemisza which is not far from the Buen Retiro park.
