   Ciudad Real, a city 200 km south to Madrid became something of   
   long-distance suburbs of Madrid, because of the AVE rapid train,   
   since it makes the commute take less than an hour by train.   
   (Of course, you have to get to the train station and then   
    from the train station to work/home, so it's probably a longer   
   one, but not three hours, which seems somewhat excessive)   
      
   As someone who's been working from home for more than 15   
   years I find all this "commute" stuff a weird form of masochism.
