Girona Airport


Girona airport was built in 1965 to cater for tourists arriving to the Costa Brava. Girona is the nearest airport for visitors to the Costa Brava, only 30 - 40 minutes drive from Lloret de Mar. The cost of the journey by taxi is approx 45€ but there does seem to be a shortage of taxis serving Girona airport! There is no train service, the nearest train station is in Blanes. A bus service runs into Lloret de Mar bus station, times of which can be found Here.



Most of the air traffic using Girona is the low cost Ryanair. On their website it is called Barcelona Girona, but don't make the mistake of travelling to Girona if Barcelona is where you really need to be! Barcelona is approx 100km south of Girona. So if your on a tight schedule with maybe a meeting to attend, this is not the airport for you. Although a bus is always there to meet Ryanair passengers to take them to Barcelona.
Back in 1993 passenger figures for Girona were 275,000 but by 2005 Girona was dealing with more than3.5 million
