Hello VTer's

I will be staying in Platja D'aro at the end of May. I would like to visit Barcelona for a day. What would be the best mode of transportation from there to the center of Barcelona? I am asuming I should start out my day tour in the town center....right? I am interested in seeing Boqueria market and Las Ramblas.

Thanks for any suggestions

Kimbo,
It looks like there is a bus that goes quite often, takes about 1.5 hours, costs 26 euros roundtrip. Here's the info:

I know, long address. Or go to www.barcelonanord.com and search yourself.

The Barcelona Nord bus station is near Arc d'Triomf and you can walk to the Cathedral (a good place to start your visit) or take a bus to Plaza Catalunya.

Transport info in the city can be found at www.tmb.es
