Barcelona to Port Aventura

Going to Bcn city for a week in July with 3 teenagers. Want to let them off to Port aventura for a day or two. However can't seem to find public transport from the city toit. All I could find was a train at 9:19am and returning at 20:41pm 13.50e each. This might do but it's very restrictive. Does anybody know of other options by train/bus?

You can get a dual train / admission ticket at from Sants Station direct to Port Aventura station and its then a 5 minute walk up into the Park. They have quite regular train schedule from about 8 in the morning. Sants is serviced by at least two of the metro lines and very easy to find and navigate.

They have combined tickets with RENFE trains, but I can't see price info:

http://www.renfe.es/parques_tematicos/portaventura/index.html

Renfe Media Distancia ha firmado un acuerdo de colaboración con Port Aventura por el cual se establece desde el 26 de Marzo de 2010 al 9 de Enero de 2011, la siguiente oferta comercial.

Junior (de 4 a 10 años)

Grupos (Billete de ida y vuelta y entrada al Parque para un mínimo de 20 personas)

I found the prices:

I searched on www.renfe.es for trains from Barcelona-Sants to Port Aventura. I picked the 13th July.

This is what it returned, which you seem to already know about.


Origen: BARCELONA-SANTS

Destino: PORT AVENTURA

Salida: 13-07-2010

Regreso: 13-07-2010

Número Viajeros: 2


R. EXPRESS 18093 dep = 09.33 arrival = 10.46

R. EXPRESS 18096 dep = 20.41 arrival = 22.08

The fare seems to be 12.70 return (ida y veulto).


I'll keep looking.

For some reason, the routeplanner on the www.renfe.es homepage returns just two trains per day.

But I dug deeper. I searched here, and I picked the stations out from a big list.

That gave me more trains.

07:46 Catalonian Express 18051
08:17
09:19
10:47

and so on.............

Thanks for the help Protocol & Gillarosa.
I tried the link that you had with more trains but it was all in Spanish and I couldn't get my way through it.
As regards the link with the prices it didn't tell me from what station but it's great theres a combined ticket price which is abot 10e cheaper if it's from Sants.
If ye were able to give me a link or the train times going and returning from Sants with these prices it would be great as I could let them off and have a "free" day for myself!

Tks Protocol there had to be more trains. I'll sort out return trains when I get there.
