Airports
The main related airport is Barcelona El Prat (BCN). Some low-cost carriers, notably Ryanair, use the airports of Girona (GRO), nearly 100 km to the north, or Reus (REU), around the same distance to the south, instead. Since Ryanair started operating at BCN, you should check carefully where your flight goes. The three letter IATA code should be part of your booking process and at the very least it will be printed onto your luggage tag. WE highly recommend you to travel via El Prat.

Barcelona International Airport (BCN)
Barcelona International Airport (BCN), also known as El Prat, is a major transport hub, with flights from all over Europe and beyond.
