About us
Getting to know us on both sides of the pond
Becky and Evan
Flying into Barcelona Airport (BCN). We recommend renting a car, which is easily accessible just outside the baggage claim area. We recommend a compact car, as getting out of the rental lot alone is tight, and many streets in the small towns are very narrow. Renting a car allows you to venture out of L’Estartit and explore a lot more in the surrounding area.
If you choose not to rent a car, you can take a train to Girona (from the airport to the transfer station in Barcelona, then to the transfer station in Girona) to L’Estartit. Off-season, you may need to stop in Torroella de Montgri, which is only a few kilometers from L’Estartit, and you can find a bus or taxi for the last few kilometers.
Departure times for both train and bus options vary by season. One good site is Rome2Rio.com. Be aware of holiday and weekend changes, as well as your scheduled arrival time.

Do Not Speed in Spain. There are radar cameras everywhere, and they will capture you. Trust me, I know.
If you rent a a car, change the menu language into English before you leave so you can ask for help if needed.
For our American friends, consider the options for a manual (stick) or automatic transmission, and reserve accordingly if you prefer an automatic. Manuals are often the default rental in Europe.
