Advantages: Could get cheap flights here, clean and well-run Disadvantages: Not really Barcelona as it is billed, lack of seating
Cheeky Ryanair! Although they do fly to the city of Barcelona, they bill their flights to Girona as "Girona (Barcelona)" even though it is more than an hour's drive down the motorway to the larger city. Just as well my flights were cheap as the return coach fare to Barcelona costs Euro12 per adult single and Euro21 return. Girona Airport is situated 103 Kilometres north of Barcelona (approximately 64 miles).
In fact, the airport bills itself as "Girona - Costa Brava" and, indeed, many of the passengers on our flight did not board the coach to Barcelona but appeared to be picking up hire cars to head for resorts on the coast. (Lloret de Mar and Tossa de Mar are nearby). Budget and economy airlines from across Europe use this airport from fifty-five airports. Holiday charters use the airport too.
The airport terminal building was ...
Advantages: excellent location, beautiful rooms, friendly staff, good food Disadvantages: tv mainly in spanish
My partner and I visited Girona in May 2007. We had pre booked the Ciutat de Girona but we weren't at all sure of what to expect. We travelled by bus from the airport to Girona bus station, (approx. 20minutes), and from there we took a taxi to the hotel which was about a 5minutes drive. There are, I believe, 2 buses an hour from the airport. The cost was around £2 i think.
Our first impression of the hotel was that it was spotless and stylish, couldn't have been more central as it was right in the heart of the old town. The reception area was modern, bright and comfortable though minimalistic. The free mini bar and welcome drink ( I believe it was a local wine) with some biscuits were much appreciated. A lift took us up to our floor. The corridor was quiet, and had a lush feel to it. Paintings on the large wall spaces.
All ...
Advantages: Popular places to visit, affordable price, easy to getaway. Disadvantages: English ability of local people, some prices are somewhere high.
I went to Barcelona in the beginning January 2009. That was my first experience visiting 'one of the must visit' city in Spain. By the time we (me and my friends) arrived, we went by airplane and arrived in Girona Airport. I must say that English ability of Spanish people is not that good. Sorry for writing this, but I just want to share my experience. After that we went from airport to the city centre of Barcelona (where the phenomenal Las Ramblas lies) by bus, which costed us 12 euros, one way. We stayed in apartment exactly in Las Ramblas.
After getting to the city center, it was very good. We can easily find top brands, such as Pizza Marzano, Carrefour, McDonalds, Burger King, Starbucks just on the side of the pavement. The 'Las Ramblas' was somehow too crowded, and it's very popular that it is not safe out there, so we should ...
