It was the last day in Spain. We took a flight at early morning from Santiago de Compestela to Barcelona. At the evening, we will be took another flight back to Kuala Lumpur. It was a tired day. We booked a 7-seaters taxi to airport, it costed us 32 Euro. The taxi was booked at this website: http://www.taxigalicia.com/index.php/es/. The distance between Santiago de Compestela and airport is less than 30 minutes driving distance.
When arrived Barcelona airport, we did our check in at the counter. Initially, we planned to go toBarcelona old town or beach area. It just 30 minutes from the airport. However, we did not go these places because we spend nearly 2 hours queue for tax refund. At the end, we went to Placa d'Espanya. It is just 15 minutes driving distance from airport.
We took airbus. The frequency of the airbus is every 4 minutes and it was 40.80 Euro for 4 of us (with return).
