Welcome back,
It looks like you're asking if the Aerobus in Barcelona can take you to Malgrat de Mar. Unfortunately, the Aerobus service only connects the Barcelona Airport (El Prat) with the city center of Barcelona, making stops at places like Plaça Catalunya and Plaça Espanya. It doesn't go to Malgrat de Mar, which is a town located along the coast, about 60 kilometers northeast of Barcelona.
To get to Malgrat de Mar from Barcelona Airport, here are your options:
Train: You can take the Renfe Cercanías (R2 Nord line) from the airport to Barcelona-Sants or Barcelona-Passeig de Gràcia, and then transfer to the R1 line, which goes directly to Malgrat de Mar.
Bus: There are some intercity buses that can take you there, though they might not be direct from the airport.
Taxi or Private Transfer: This is the most convenient option but also the most expensive. You can arrange a taxi or a private transfer service from the airport directly to Malgrat de Mar.
For train times and more detailed travel info, the Renfe website is very helpful, or you could use Google Maps to plan your journey. Enjoy your trip!
The Aerobus in Barcelona does not offer a specific senior discount for international visitors.
Best,
If possible, go to the Aerobus collection point located in Barcelona airport Terminal 1 in the departures area. Aerobus has a 24-hour customer service for passengers, and you will be able to recover your lost item if it has been found.
Thank you for your purchase and don't worry >> of course aerobus tickets are valid for both Barcelona airport terminals T1 and T2.
We will make this information easier to understand for coming visitors.
Enjoy your trip!
