2. Getting to Salou/Cambrils

From Barcelona city

By train

When taking a train in Catalonia, we advise you to consult https://rodalies.gencat.cat/en/inici/ for timetables and fares.

A train leaves the airport every half an hour (at 0.08 and 0.38) and takes roughly half an hour to get to Barcelona Sants, Barcelona’s main railway station. You will simply have to go up the stairs to the main area and go down again to platform 11 and 12. Trains will depart from either of those platforms, so keep an eye out for your train!

To reach the Cambrils Park Resort is fairly straightforward. After getting to Barcelona Sants station, you can take any train (of lines R14, R15 & R16) to Vila-Seca (Tarragonès). A train leaves roughly every 30 minutes from Barcelona, with some exceptions, so watch out!

From Vila-Seca station you can get a bus just 7 min away which, in just 11 min, will leave you at a 5-minute walk from the accommodation.

This is probably the easiest way to get here (we recommend you search for it on Maps, as it’ll be the easiest way for you to find your way).

Pro Tip: Buy your ticket in the airport to go straight to Salou, as it’ll be cheaper than getting one to Barcelona and then another to Salou.

By bus

Alternatively, you could catch a bus from the airport to Salou here: https://www.busplana.com/en.

There is a bus every hour, but it is more expensive than the train.

From Reus city

Here is the timetable of the yellow bus you can take from just outside the airport.

The price of the ticket to Salou is €6.75.

Alternatively, you could take a Taxi, which costs around €36.

From anywhere else in Catalonia

We advise you to be looking at trains or buses directly to Salou.

If not possible, try to go to Barcelona or Reus. From there, follow the instructions above.

3. Getting to the Mediterranean Sports Hub – Futbol Salou

If you are staying at the official athletes village, Cambrils Park Resort, no need for buses, trains, or taxi. Just trust on your own feet, as the Mediterranean Sports Hub – Futbol Salou is just 1 km walking away.
