Buses from Reus Airport to Sitges

On Sun Jun 18 10:50 ,
Hi Gary.
Can you please advise on the following :-
We will be arriving at Reus Airport on the 8th July 2006 at approx 9:20am Saturday morning.
We wish to get to Sitges. Can you advise on the least expensive method of transportation
thats available to us?
We don't mind if the route is not directly to Sitges, maybe via more accessible town/city
which would arrive us at Sitges.
Can you also advise same for our departure from Sitges which is the 22nd July 2006.
Our flight out of Reus is 22:15.
Regards.
Pete + Phillip.

Hi Guys

My friend Dave Bubier answered this one, reading between the lines it's best to get the bus or taxi into Tarragona bus station and then pick up the coastal bus to Sitges.....

RENFE would appear to be an option but I am a little puzzled by the actual lines in use in the area - will have to consult my rail expert.

There is a Reus station but probably getting first to Tarragona is better. There do not appear to be many trains en route to Barcelona that stop at Sitges, not sure why.
All in all the bus seems the best bet (having got into Tarragona from the airport) the service along the coast to Barcelona appears to be hourly throughout the day.


Bus from Reus to Tarragona only seems to run Mon - Friday though! Might be worth calling the bus company first or just hopping in a cab for a €15 taxi ride to Tarragona bus station!

Airport - Tarragona - Airport

Mondays to Fridays: 07:25, 08:25, 09:25, 12:55, 13:55, 14:55, 17:55, 18:55 and 19:55.

The fare is only €3 and for further information you can call: 0034 977 770 698.


Let us know how you get on so we can help other poeple in the future

Regards

I wonder how Pete and Philip got on and how they travelled as we are wanting to do the same journey in September.

I have emailed them and asked if they could let us know. They dont get back to the 23rd July though so it may be a few days....

Dear Gary,
My wife and I will be arriving with Ryan Air from Luton to Reus on Sunday
the first of October 2006 at 1645 local for a holiday in Sitges, returning
on Monday the ninth at 1710.

This is my first attempt at booking independently and in the heat of the
moment forgot the minor detail of transport from Reus airport to Sitges on a
SUNDAY; I had my choice of days but it never occurred that transport on a
Sunday may be a problem.

I would be eternally grateful if you could advise on any alternatives to a
taxi which would cost half as much as the holiday. I have looked at the
Renfe site but have lost all confidence in my ability to correctly choose
the best option.

Thanking you in anticipation,

Peter Wigmore.

Hi Peter,

The reason that you have found the train website so frustrating is that you can't get a DIRECT train from Tarragona to Reus you would have to go to Barcelona and then come back!

The last time we had this question I had to ask my friend Dave Bubier to help me out and this is what he said...

RENFE would appear to be an option but I am a little puzzled by the actual lines in use in the area - will have to consult my rail expert.

I am unable to find an actual bus timetable for you but the sunday service is not a lot less than the weekday service as a rule.

It may be worth hiring a car and driving, the drive is very very easy and would take about an hour along the toll road.

Sorry I cant be more exact but I really cant get any more info than this at the moment, it would be great if you could let us know what optiuon you took and how it turned out after your trip. That way we can pass on your experience to other travellers.

Thanks Peter and I am sure that you will ahve a great time

Regards

Gary
