| La Hispano Igualadina bus to Barcelona city: | Route: Airport - Barcelona (Maria Cristina Metro Station) - Barcelona Sants (round the corner). |
| Note: On my visit in January 2007, I was unable to locate the correct bus stop at Maria Cristina. There are 2 or 3 bus stops outside Corte Ingles, but none had any information regarding this bus. Notes from a Traveller Jun 2008: Apparently the bus was around the corner from Sants Station, but I did find it. It was on a Saturday, and there was one bus at about 1015, and then not another one until about 1630. The only problem I had was the timetable provided by La Hispano Igualadina was not clear, and the times did not match the actual times of the buses. I tried to phone them to check the timetable several times on all the numbers they gave, but could never get through, and was just held in a queue "all of our operators are busy" - in Spanish. I held on for quite a long time each time, and never got through. | |
