There is multiple ways to get to the wonderful city of Barcelona and one of them is by train after flying into Salou.
Tune in and find out the trip went and if you would also do the same?
To buy tickets online, its best to do so via the official website here - www.renfe.com/es/en
Although for this ticket and route I could not purchase it online and instead had to go to the ticket Kiosk. Come a little earlier if taking the train the same day as the ticket kiosks got very busy at times. I ended up buying my ticket the day before so luckily, no queues for me! :)

The Nom before the tunnel made me laugh out loud 😆 We're going to Salou in the Summer and plan on travelling to Barcelona on the train, thanks for sharing the video 🙂

My pleasure lad, thanks for watching and hope you have a great holiday 👍🌞

Can you tell me WHY they stopped the trains in Salou Town. ??

[@gottawander]

When I was researching at the time, Salou train station was apparently closed due to the implementation of the Mediterranean Corridor. More info here if interested-www.railtech.com/infrastructure/2022/11/16/spains-status-of-developing-the-mediterranean-corridor/?gdpr=accept

@@gottawander Thank you that helps.Many times i have travelled by train from London via Barcelona to Salou. I loved the journey👍👍

Hi How to book the train ticket ? We are planning to travel for a day trip to Barcelona from salou on April 1st week

[@gottawander]

Good query CHRISE, I asked that very same question at the time myself and was told I could not book online and to use the ticket machines at Barcelona Sants on the day of travel. On my way to Barcelona the ticket machine on the Salou train platform allowed me buy tickets a day in advance of my journey which was handy. Enjoy your April trip, not long to go now 😎☀️

@@gottawander oh ok that’s a great information thank you. We have only the day time in Barcelona and in the evening or night I have to coming back to salou , so please tell me 1. Which station we need to get down 2. What time we need to start from salou 3. Which places i must visit ? I mean top 5 places in order 4. Which transport I need to use in Barcelona Thanks in advance

@@chrisegeorge3850 no worries, happy to help. For 1&2, taking the 4th April as an example, there looks to be a train at 10.06am from Salou Port Aventura to Barcelona Sants with the latest train back to Salou at 8.30pm. Check out the link in the description of my video for the Renfe official site where you can check times and dates for those two stations that suit you. For 3&4, you might be best to do the hop on hop off bus tour seeing as your short on time and hope off at any sights you would like. For example I did this bus tour below and really enjoyed it. Montjuïc Cable Car + Hop-On Hop-Off Bus Barcelona (got tickets here - city-sightseeing.com/en/home ) Hope that helps a bit 🤞
