RENFE Train Timetable Between Barcelona Airport to City Centre

Please note this section of the RENFE web site is currently only in Spanish. You can still obtain the timetable information however because I have translated the main words on their form below so that you can still submit your enquiry. The link to follow is at the end of the translation.

Translations for using the RENFE timetable page:

Origen - Start station - therefore select Aeropuerto = Airport from the drop down menu

Destino - Destination station - for Barcelona city centre select either Barcelona Placa de Catalunya or Barcelona Sants - depending on which station you want to disembark from.

Ignore the button that says Consulta por tipo del dia and just select your chosen date in the box below. i.e. the box labelled

Consulta para un día determinado = select a specific date.

Leave the next few boxes as they are then just click the Horarios button which means Timetable. You will then be presented with a results table showing you the departure times.

The hora Salida is the departure time the hora llegada is the arrival time.
