Narrative:

We were cleared for the bardi 1C arrival to lemd. We followed the charted altitude assignments; but continued on the lateral path of the arrival past burex intersection. Unlike other arrivals--such as at egll--the clearance limit is clearly printed on the chart. We did not catch the fine print by the intersection indicating it was the clearance limit. We were given vectors back around to eventually fly the 33L approach.

Title: On arrival to LEMD via the BARDI 1C STAR; an air carrier flight crew failed to comply with the 'Clearance Limit' notation at BUREX and its associated warning advising flights to '...not leave the clearance limit without ATC clearance.' The reporter cited the 'fine print' utilized to advise of the limit as a contributing factor.
