Barcelona Girona Airport (GRO) Information

Where is Barcelona Girona Airport?  

Girona is an ancient town, several thousand years old, in northeastern Spain, and is one of Catalonia's major cities. Girona is often overlooked by budget minded tourists arriving at the city's airport en-route to Barcelona. 

Popular activities are walking atop the old city walls (with great views!), wandering the narrow streets or relaxing in the many cafes.

Barcelona Girona Airport (IATA: GRO, ICAO: LEGE), officially Girona–Costa Brava Airport, also referred to as Costa Brava Airport, Girona Airport, or even Barcelona Airport, is located near the small village of Vilobí d'Onyar, 12.5 kilometres (7.8 miles) southwest of the city of Girona, in Catalonia, Spain.

Many people use Girona Airport as an alternative airport for Barcelona, although GRO is 92 kilometres (57 miles) north of Barcelona. It would be more appropriate to refer to GRO as an airport that serves Barcelona. The airport is also used as a point of access to the Pyrenees! and Andorra area ski resorts.

Barcelona Girona Airport is one of three airports that serve Barcelona, the others being Barcelona Reus Airport (REU) - also some distance away - and the city's main airport, Barcelona El Prat International Airport (BCN).
