Barcelona International Airport is often referred to as 'Aeropuerto El Prat' because of its proximity to the town of "El Prat de Llobregat."
The Airport is very close to town approximately 20 kms away, making it convenient for transport to the city center and nearby ports.
Approx 1 hour north from Barcelona, Girona Costa Brava Airport has become very popular due to cheap Ryan Air flights from the UK
using this airport as an alternative to Barcelona International Airport.
