La Escala
L'Escala is the gateway to the gulf of Roses, from a geographical as well as a tourist point of view. This village, which is one of the main fishing harbours along the coast, is also an important tourist centre, combining the smell of salt water with the bustle of tourists who add a note of colour and joy to it. For them the village has a special attraction that are the trainyeros, typical boats which leave the harbour at night with their lamps lit to go fishing.

Hello Dom,
For a week's stay, a very smart pass is the City Pass (the most complete and economical) or the Barcelona Essentials Pass with two must-see monuments and the public transport card..
Best,
Best pass for one week stay?
Hello,
I'm staying in Barcelona for a week. Which smart pass would you recommend?

Hello Jacqui,
The Aerobus in Barcelona does not offer a specific senior discount for international visitors.

Hello Colin,
Yes, there are pickup points near Terminal 2C at Barcelona Airport that you can access. Specifically, you can use the express car park located in front of Terminal 2, which includes T2C. This parking area allows for quick drop-offs and pickups and is situated conveniently close to the terminal entrances .
Best,
Picking up passengers terminal 2 c
Is there pick up points near 2 c that I can access and do I pay

Hello Rebecca,
As of now, you do not need to provide proof of a negative COVID-19 test or a vaccination certificate to enter Spain from the United States. Spain has lifted all COVID-19-related health controls at its entry points for travelers, making travel much simpler in terms of pandemic restrictions.
Best,
Vaccines
Do I need to provide proof of negative Covid test or vaccine in order to visit Spain (coming from the U.S.)?

super ville et ambiance géniale.
j'y suis déjà allé 3 fois et je compte y retourner l'année prochaine. il y a bcp de jolis endroits à voir dans les environs.
multitudes de restos sympas et de bonne qualité, pour tous les goûts et prix raisonnables.
les plages,surtout celles près des ruines d'empuries sont magnifiques et très bien entretenues.
sur la rue principale qui longe le front de mer,il y a un petit bistrot (entre la banque et la pizzeria) qui sert une sangria excellente... avis aux amateurs!!!!!
le soir,l'animation ne manque pas et de nombreux commerces permettent de faire des achats sympas.
le soir également, environ 2 fois par semaine, à voir absolument, un artiste qui fait de la peinture uniquement avec des aérosols de peinture. extraordinaire!!!!!
en résumé,il faut s'y rendre pour apprécier cette jolie ville!
