All these local anomalies are fine -once you know what to expect!For example for MAD R33 I always plan from the SLP to a point three miles west of Perales VOR, if they make me go to PARLA then change it and go V/S.Some guys leave the whole arrival in but put in a hard altitude lower than normal somewhere on the arrival.
Nice is another place you occasionally just have to shake your head in disbelief and say NO Thanks
I was in MAD last week and I said to the FO that the UK controllers would have a heart attack with some normal ops there, especially on the ground, where I use all available lighting! I enjoy it though, you can't afford to snooze thats for sure.
