Practical Information

Getting to «La Mola»

«La Mola» facilities are very close to the AP7 (connecting Barcelona with France) and C58 highways. From the Barcelona city center you can reach the site via C58 (Google Maps).

Airport Barcelona International airport is the closest airport to La Mola and ALBA-CELLS facility. It is well connected to the Barcelona city train stations (BCN-Sants, BCN-Passeig de Gracia, BCN-Plaça de Catalunya). Visit the AENA website for more information (or telephone +34 902 404 704).

You can also reach Plaça de Catalunya in Barcelona using the Aerobús, a bus connecting all Barcelona airport terminals with the city center.

You can also easily reach Barcelona center by car (take C32-B direction "Barcelona", merge into C31 via the ramp Barcelona/Ronda Litoral and go to Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes) or the ALBA-CELLS site (Google Maps).

Girona-Costa Brava airport is the second option (AENA site). It is mainly operated by low-cost airlines and is one-hour drive by car to Barcelona.

Due to the closest location to Barcelona, the preferred option if you come by train is to arrive to one of the Barcelona main train stations (BCN-Sants or BCN-Estació de França). Both stations are connected to the subway. Renfe (website) is the spanish railway company. It is recommended to buy a ticket to Plaça Catalunya subway station (Plaça Catalunya is also a train connection). Once in Plaça de Catalunya, you can take the bus provided by the organization on Sunday afternoon.

Recently, a TGV train service has been stablished between Paris and Figueres. From this last city you can take conventional train to Barcelona city centre (Plaça de Catalunya).
