Flights to Barcelona – Football heaven, driving hell!

If football’s your thing you’ll know that FC Barcelona’s stadium is the biggest privately owned footie stadium in the world, with room for a frightening 100,000 roaring fans. Flights to Barcelona deposit you right outside this fabulous city at Barcelona International airport, just 13km away. By car it’s an easy journey of about 15 minutes; try taking the Autovia C246 road via Castelldefels, follow the signs and you won’t go far wrong. Barcelona is known for dreadful driving and the locals thrash their cars, hurling them around without a care in the world. If you’re booking flights to Barcelona for your hols, don’t forget to keep your wits about you. There’s an accident every twenty seconds or so during the week, every sixteen seconds at weekends. You could always wear a suit of armour. 

Barcelona Flights – Pedestrian friendly and fun on foot

Barcelona is great for pedestrians. So unless you want to explore the surrounding countryside, it gives you an ideal opportunity to avoid hiring a car when you book your flights to Barcelona. Do some walking instead and explore over 130 hectares (we’re not sure what that is in real money but it’s a lot) of pedestrian friendly spaces. Imagine 260 football pitches and you’ve hit the mark. The locals walk habitually and more than 150,000 of them meander along the Rambla every day. Barcelona airport is massive, with 12,500 parking spaces… useful if you’re flying from there but academic if you’re flying in on your holidays, we suppose. We just like including interesting facts.
