Thank you, Jenny.
We have done this route twice (with a long non-stop drive from Madrid to Roscoff), the Santander - Plymouth ferry once - this year, and all other times by air to Gatwick from Madrid and then hire car or train or coach from Gatwick to Cornwall. Except last year we drove to Alicante and got a Ryan Air flight from there to Newquay airport!
The jury is still out on the best route from Madrid to Cornwall. Each has its pros and cons with regard to time, cost, convenience, etc! Whatever we do, it's two days travel each way which really eats into a summer holiday of 10 days to two weeks max! When my parents lived in London, the journey time would have been 3-4 hours tops! Cornwall is not well served by transport infrastructure!

When needs must, Peggy!
Funnily enough, The way Spain aligns it's timezones with Istanbul or Moscow or some such, means that it doesn't get light in winter until 8:30 or later and it doesn't get light in midsummer until 7:00. As an Anglo, I find this unsettling! I remember as kids, we used to go exploring the suburbs and countryside in midsummer on foot or on our bikes from 4 am! We'd come back for breakfast at 7:30 and then to school! But then we did go to bed much earlier than today's kids so were up much earlier! I remember our bedtimes getting later on birthdays by 15 minutes. At the age of 10, I was excited to be able to say that my bedtime was now 7 o'clock! I tell my Spanish students this and they are uniformly astounded! Children, no matter how young, go to bed here at the same time as the adults, ie, after the family evening meal ... so any time between 12 and 2!
In England, the streets and gardens were full of the sounds of children playing very early, along with the dawn chorus!! In Spain, at 8 am, all appartment blocks resound to the wails of screaming children being force-marched out of the flats and to school; the poor darlings are totally deprived of sleep and so get very temperamental! And yet they somehow turn out to be very polite and civilised youngsters! Go figure!
