I'm with the crowd that say Barajas ATC are dire! Had the misfortune to be there last week. Surface wind reported as 180/15G30, requested 18R for landing to be told no way, must be 33! +30kts tailwind all the way down the approach to about 200 feet where it rapidly dropped off to a limiting 10 kts only to face a go-around because one of the local operators couldn't vacate the runway in time. The whole place is an accident waiting to happen.
