Airport Transfer from Barcelona Airport to Valls Tarragona: Your Stress-Free Guide

Overview

Traveling from Barcelona El Prat Airport (BCN) to the historic town of Valls, Tarragona, involves a 90 km journey through Catalonia’s scenic countryside. The drive typically takes 1 hour and 15 minutes, offering glimpses of vineyards and medieval villages. Valls, famous for its human tower traditions (castells) and calçotada festivals, is a cultural gem worth exploring. Whether you’re visiting for business, festivals, or leisure, choosing the right transfer ensures a smooth start to your trip.

Getting to Know Valls, Tarragona

Valls is a town steeped in Catalan heritage, located 15 km inland from Tarragona. Key highlights include:

  • Castell de Valls: A medieval castle tower offering panoramic views.
  • Human Towers Museum: Dive into the history of castells, a UNESCO-listed tradition.
  • Sant Joan Festival: Held in June, featuring fireworks and folk dances.
  • Calçots: Don’t miss this local onion delicacy, grilled and served with romesco sauce.

The town’s compact size makes it easy to explore, but its limited public transport connections mean planning your airport transfer wisely is essential.

Arriving at Barcelona El Prat Airport

Barcelona Airport has two terminals (T1 and T2). After collecting luggage, follow signs for “Transportes Públicos” (public transport) or “Taxi”. Currency exchange desks and SIM card vendors are available, but pre-booking transfers online saves time. Most drivers meet passengers at arrivals with name boards.

  • Local Etiquette: Dinner in Valls starts late (9–10 PM); ask your driver for calçot-friendly restaurants.

Reaching Your Final Destination

Most private transfers drop guests directly at hotels or addresses in Valls. If using public transport, the bus stops at Plaça del Pati, a 5–10 minute walk from most central lodgings. For stays in rural masias (farmhouses), confirm pickup details with your host.
