Introduction
By air the Costa Brava is accessible via the international airport of Barcelona as well as the smaller airports of Girona and Perpignan (France).
By land the Costa Brava is accessed via the French-Spanish border. The A7 highway, situated in between the Pyrenees and the coastline, takes the traveller right into the Costa Brava region. Toll highways allow for fast and comfortable passage through Catalonia. Most locations can be reached within 1 to 2 hours driving from Barcelona.
Although the Catalonia region also has an extensive network of public trains and buses, cars are the most commonly used means of local transportation.
For inter-regional travel the Renfe train service offers good connections with all major cities in Spain as well as international connections with both Portugal and France.
