I rolled into Barcelona Sants Estació from Paris to begin the second leg of my trip in Barcelona…read more Train stations tend to be chaotic, and they're prime spots for people to get pickpocketed, so I like to spend at little time in them as possible, and constantly be moving while there. This is the main train station in the city, and as such it's quite large with several different areas and connections. I was a little confused once we arrived as I needed to find the Metro, but after orienting myself it was no issue. Besides that, Barcelona Sants Estació is really no frills. It got me where I needed to go, and at the end of the day that's all that matters.

The main train station in Barcelona, therefore the busiest almost all the time…read more Currently there is a lot of construction work going on inside and out. So paths are a bit constricted and not clearly marked. I recently took the inOui from Paris to BCN, a 7 hour trip that was nicer than the bustle of air travel. Arriving at 10 pm BCN Sants was quite busy, but was able to pop up easily and get out of the station. I would have liked to have grabbed a sandwich to take to the hotel, but construction made it impossible to find a vendor. The outside construction and some rain made areas a muddy and rough mess. Bummer, it has been a great station in the past. Just be aware of pick pockets here.

I wasted 45 minutes trying to find it. The Plaça Espanya is under heavy construction hiding the sign and entrance. And my maps kept sending me to the nearby metro station, not the train. Finally upon finding the entrance, everything was a piece of cake. Follow the Montserrat signs down and to a small kiosk to buy your train ticket. Then head down another level to the tracks. Montserrat train leaves every hour. It fills up fast even as late as 9:30 am with both tourists and locals. It's a simple very plain station. The entrance is on a small island I front of the Catalonia Hotel. But it's labeled as Montserrat instead of Estació Espanya. Also look for R5, it's the actual train you need.
