Cercanias is a service close to what the subway is. I mean, it is used daily by thousands to move around Madrid (Province). Its price is around 1 EUR for that trip, and IIRC it should be free for those changing long distance trains between Chamartin and Atocha. I could confirm this calling Renfe this week.
