- Airbus from the airport (ticket price - 5, 9 euros), go to the local Placa Catalunya (Catalonia Square).

On the square we transplanted on the subway (the branch of light green, marked L3), we are going 2 stations to the stop of Dssassanese - 2.15 euros. This is the long-awaited Square of Columbus, from which the port buses in blue for 3 euros one is one way. If you have already purchased a ticket for 4 euros in advance (and it is valid until the evening), then ride for free.

In search of storage cameras or what to do with luggage, if ahead is a cruise day
An offensive incident - there is no storage cameras on the territory of the port. But! If you plan to walk around Barce, departure from the airport, then the luggage delivery service will help. Look for it in cruise terminals (a small rack with the administrator). How it works? You will rent in the port of Lugazh (1 suitcase will cost 10 euros), pick up at the airport to 20 h. 30 min.
It is more difficult for those who want to leave things in the storage chamber, walk half a day in the squares before sailing. Just below Catalonia are the right cameras (a large cell - a huge suitcase is placed and 2 smaller - will cost 12 euros; but prices fluctuate depending on the magnitude of the bags, a small suitcase and in 3.5 really left).

Barca is Creation of Gaudi, without them the city loses any charm. A. Gaudi is an unusual architect, it is difficult to identify it to this day. Undoubtedly there are motifs of gothic and baroque, supplemented by the eastern elements and a modern look. Several masterpieces of the genius architecture are protected by UNESCO.

At the beginning of the 20th century, the rich entrepreneur Guell conceived to sell areas on a green hill, previously turning it with the help of an architect (they were, of course, Gaudi) to a fabulous city park.
Master's idea did not know the borders - the upper and lower tiers for unhurried walks, a construction with doric columns for a shopping center, gingerbread houses for residents.
