Madrid Layover
 
I arrive at Barajas at7:45 am from the US. I have my next flight at 12:10 pm to Paris. Do I have enough time between 7:45 am and 12:10 pm to go through customs, check my bags for my next flight and take a taxi to plaza Major for breakfast? I know I have to be back at the airport at least 1 hour before departure.
Thanks,

This move is related to the day of the week. It will be fine during weekends and a nonsense during weekdays.

I agree w/ car, day of week/time of days makes a BIG difference. But most likely you don't need to retrieve your bags. You can probably check them all the way through to Paris

Thanks. How far is Plaza Major from the Barajas Airport?

25 minutes by taxi in a weekend
35 to 70 minutes during weekdays
