If you guys have been keeping up with my IG stories (@ryonanna), I’ve just returned from a 16-day trip to two beautiful countries, Spain and UAE.
While there are fundamental differences between the two, I can’t help but notice that there are similarities between the two as well!
Here’s my itinerary for my Spanish journey. You can find part 2 of this journey (to UAE) here.
TRANSPORTATION:
Airport Shuttle Buses:
- Barcelona: Aerobus A1 (to the heart of Barcelona)
- Mallorca: Public Bus A11 (Towards Malaguf)
- Granada: I wasn’t sure what it was called but it is just outside their airport. It takes you through a few stops, leading up to the Catedral del Granada.
- Madrid: Public Bus 203 (at Madrid Atocha Station)
Day transportation pass:
- Hola Barcelona: I’ll recommend getting this if you’re in Barcelona for two FULL days. Otherwise, skip it. This card does not include the cost of taking the airport shuttles. On our first day, we just hung around the area and didn’t travel too much since the activities were within walking distance. Only until using it on the second day, that being said, the area around our hotel centralised to wherever we were heading. We only took the public transport twice (once towards Park Guell and the other, from Park Guell towards La Sagrada Familia). Transport to and fro the airport was covered separately.
- For all transport (metro and buses) across Spain, you can just use a bank one or from Youtrip or Revolut. The only exception is the buses in Granada where we had to pay the drivers in cash.
Domestic Flights:
We took domestic flights to and fro Mallorca as it was an island away from the mainland and alternative transportation would take a longer time.
Taxis:
Taxis were taken in Granada which seems to be the city which is cheaper than Barcelona and Madrid.
Trains:
This is useful if you’re traveling on the mainland on a budget. We took the trains from Granada to Madrid as flights were a bit more expensive. The trains with more stops along the way tend to be more affordable.
DAY 0 [THE FLIGHT]
I took a midnight flight as we wanted to maximise a full day in the country of arrival. As I slept on the whole flight, I didn’t have jet lag while I was there.
Tip: book a midnight flight if the time you land is morning/ afternoon locally (and try to snooze while on the plane) and book a morning/ afternoon flight if you’re landing at night locally (try to keep awake!)
BARCELONA
DAY 1 [SETTLE IN, EL MÓN NEIX EN CADA BESADA, CHOCOLAT-BOX, CATHEDRAL OF BARCELONA, CATALUNYA RESTAURANT, LA MERCE DAY 1]
We arrived at Barcelona’s airport El Prat Terminal 1 at 1:30 pm local time. Customs clearance in Spain was relatively fast, there wasn’t a specific line for anyone unless you are part of the EU.
We opted to use the Aerobus (A1) which took us directly to the heart of Barcelona. There are 4 stops along the way so do remember to ring the bell so the bus driver will leave you off!
We got the ticket on the spot for €6.75. I found out later that I should have gotten the return ticket as it would’ve been much cheaper and we were returning back to the airport the day after for another flight).
(Write the hours of operation of this bus)
Tip: Start queuing for the line as you can also pay staff directing you on the bus, for a ticket.
Our hotel (Barcelona Catedral Hotel) was a short walk away from the Central Bus station and after checking in, we hung around for free tapas (wine, cheese) at the lobby before heading out.
The streets were filled with tourists and locals alike, I believe in preparation for the La Mercè Festival which was an annual festival, (some info here).
Our first stop was the El món neix en cada besada just outside our hotel. This is the famous kiss wall with many couples coming to visit and going home with a mandatory kiss photo.
Walking further down, we went to Chocolat-Box for some ice cream.
Then we walked down towards the Cathedral of Barcelona. As the La Merce festival was happening, there were stages set up all around so we couldn’t get a clear view of it.
We went into Catalunya Restaurant for some dinner and was one of the first few here even though it was 6 plus. The Spanish often have very late dinners, eating them at 9 pm or later. A small crowd only trickled in when we were about to leave at 7:45 pm, but most of them were still tourists.
- PASTA VONGOLE (14), PAELLA MIXTA (17), MORTIZ 1/2L (6.95), REFRESCO (3.95)
8 pm was the start of the festival and we arrived at the right time. By then, lots of people had already gathered around the plaza. Children were all sitting on their fathers’ necks so you’ve gotta squeeze your way through to get a better view.
We saw the giants, tower people and their performance for the opening of the festival.
DAY 2 [Park Guell, La Sagrada Familia, Casa Mila, Casa Battlo, Gothic Quarters, Pont de Bisbe, Demaise, Street Performances and Correfoc la Mercè, Cerveseria Catalana]
We woke up bright and early today to have a hearty breakfast at our hotel lobby [€20] which came with a huge spread before we set off for the rest of the day.
Our first stop was Park Guell, a must-visit while in Barcelona. We entered from the back of the Park and exited from the main entrance.
Tip: while there are multiple entrances, Enter from the entrance closer to the Ctra del Carmel – Albert Llanas. It saves you the hassle of climbing up the stairs and hills and squeezing with the rest of the crowd at the entrance. I like to save the best for the last anyway.
The queue for the tickets was very short here too, I wasn’t able to get anything online. But I’d suggest booking the tickets beforehand.
Afterwards, we tracked down the park, to the famous seats. There are 187483 people in comparison to the rest of the park. So you’ve got to be real quick when snagging a spot.
We exited the park to head towards the famous La Sagrada Familia church as well.
Tip: book these tickets way in advance!! We tried to get the tickets on the spot but weren’t able to get any which was hugely disappointing.
We walked over to our next stop La Pedrera-Casa Milà, another one of Gaudi’s work. This one talks about the architecture that he designed for someone’s home. The museum cost €28, we bought them on the spot and it came with a free audio guide.
Throughout, you’ll get to see his thought processes as he went about designing the building as well as his other famous works.
The rooftop is not to be missed and is one of the most beautiful ones. Do note that it’s not very even and there are steps following his design.
After the visit to Casa Milà, we headed down the road to Casa Battlò which was evidently more crowded than her counterpart. We didn’t head in as we were pressed for time.
We went back to the hotel to drop off our souvenirs and walked around the Gothic Quarter where the Pont de Bisbe resided.
Tip: if you want to get a good shot of the bridge, the best would be the mornings.
We also did get a snack from Demaise whose pastries look so yummy. We got a big cookie but it was a bit too much and gelat in our opinion. As there is no place to sit, you’ve got to take it away!
We headed back to Passeig de Garcia where the Correfoc (Fire run) was taking place. (A bit about the fire run) The program states that it starts at 8 pm, but it didn’t really start till 8:30 pm when the fireworks started.
The parade does come down with its members spinning the firecrackers. There isn’t much safety put into place so it’s really at your own risk. Throughout, we also spot many other drum performances.
Our day ended with dinner at Cerveseria Catalana. It’s one of the famous tapas places in the area. We placed our names on the waiting list and were told to wait about an hour. We eventually went in about 30 minutes later. It is a must-visit in my opinion, but if you’re looking for a full meal, this is not the place for it.
Cerveseria Catalana C/ de Mallorca, 236, 08008 Barcelona, Spain
MALLORCA
DAY 3 [TRAVEL TO PALMA, PARDO’S RESTAURANTE, SHALLOW SUN CLUB]
We took a bus [A11] and paid with our bank card the entire time, no need to get a transport card.
It was a long tiring day from the day before and after the flight, we just wanted food and sleep. We checked into our hotel, INNSiDE by Meliá Calviá Beach and was pleasantly surprised by the fun interior of the place. What I found interesting was that our keys were tagged to our wrist, waterproof and aren’t removable (unless you can move it past your wrist which I did). Otherwise, we just wore them throughout while at the pool and even while we were out traveling around the island. It was very convenient as we won’t misplace the tags.
What’s even more interesting about it is that they have a rooftop bar and pools under Shallow Sun Club. Its pools have suspended glass-bottomed which was really cool. Although the temperature and heat from the sun were hot, the temperature in the pool was not controlled and was absolutely icy. So I was just happily icing my legs in the pool. As guests of the hotel, you get complete access to the facilities.
We’ve also gotten a few recommendations from our helpful receptionist:
- EL BALCON, PARDO’S, BONDI BEACH AND SISO BEACH
We headed towards Pardo’s, just a stone’s throw away from the hotel. Again, Spanish people eat slightly later so if you want to avoid the crowd, this will be the timing for it. The crowd started coming in at 2 pm when we were settling the bill. They are closed on Wednesdays.
We ordered the menu of the day (which came with a primero, Segundo, refresco and postre) as well as paella (whose minimum order is for two pax). This was one of the best paella that I’ve tried in Spain.
Their steak was done so nicely and it was quite generous.
DAY 4 and 5 [DAY TRIPS AROUND MALLORCA]
We had breakfast at the Food Factory, just under our hotel, all-inclusive with the room rates this time. They have quite a wide variety of breakfasts, from your basic American breakfast to the Spanish specialty of Churros. They also have a good selection of cheese, ham and salads.
For the trip, we took public transport entirely. It is more convenient if you are comfortable with driving. We might have been able to visit more places
From my hotel, we took Bus 104/105 and then changed to a bus at Palma’s main bus station. Their bus intervals are typically between 15 to 20 minutes so if you miss one, the timing for the plans might be affected quite significantly.
Option 1: Visit Soller, Port of Soller and Fornalutx
There are two ways to get to Soller, firstly via the old-style wooden train with beautiful scenery along the way through the Tramuntana Mountains.
The Palma-Soller route is very popular so do arrive at least 45 minutes to buy your tickets and bring cash because the ticket window does not accept the card.
Alternatively, the slightly faster way of taking a direct bus to Soller.
A few popular spots in Soller are
- Plaza de la Constitucion [the heart of Soller]
- Balearic Museum of Natural Sciences
- Jardi Botanic
- Saturday Market
Every 30 minutes, there’s a historic wooden tram which you can take.
A few popular spots in Port of Soller
- Stroll the beaches and habour
- Far de Cap Gros
OPTION 2: VISIT VALLEMOSSA AND DEIA
Similarly, board the bus from the main station at Palma.
Vallemossa is famous as it was where Composer, Frederic Chopin and his partner George Sand spent the winter 1838/1839, even if they may not have had the best experience there. A few popular spots in Vallemossa
- The monastery, specifically Cell 4, is home to Chopin’s museum and contains his piano and other artifacts
- Street Market on Sunday Mornings
- In August, the Chopin Festival
A few popular spots in Deia
- La Casa de Robert Graves
- Cala Deia
- Sa Fonda on Saturday Nights
- Beautiful Streets with stone walls (do remember to wear comfy shoes when walking!)
OPTION 3: POLLENÇA, AND MIRADOR ES COLOMER OR BANYALBUFAR AND ALCUDIA
A few popular spots near Pollença and Port de Pollença
- Calvari Steps (foothill) to reach the kilt toe chapel on top (Calvary Chapel)
- Casa Museu Dionís Bennàssar
- Museu de Pollença
- Mirador de El Colomer
- Cape Formentor Lighthouse
A few popular spots near Alcudia
- Old Town with cobbled walkways
- Markets on the weekends
- Dolphin Spotting
As they are all near ports, traveling via boat in between the locations are a good option too!
OPTION 4: CALÓ DEL MORO AND CALA DE EGOS, FAR DES CAP DE SES SALINES AND DRACH CAVES
This itinerary is a bit more time-consuming as the locations are further away. Do remember to schedule additional time to be at the bus stations earlier.
Drach Caves is one of the best things to do while in Mallorca. There are four great caves which you can tour for an hour, ending with a concert performance. It is an impressive sight to see the stalactites and stalagmites.
Do book the tickets in advance, or else you might be disappointed after traveling the long way.
For the rest of the trip, enjoy some of the beautiful beaches (i.e Caló del Moro and Cala De Egos) which are situated on this side of the island and famous for their turquoise waters with limestone cliffs which is great for daredevils to cliff jump! (Check the accuracy of this lol, can cliff jump there?).
If you’re still up to chill, there are plenty of night activities to participate in. I warn you that the clubs start hyping from 2 am onwards into the early morning. We preferred to head to the little restaurant/ bars to chill near the beach and called it a night after a few drinks.
DAY 6 [FUNDACIÓN BARTOLOMÉ MARCH | ROYAL PALACE OF LA ALMUDAINA | CATEDRAL-BASÍLICA DE SANTA MARÍA DE MALLORCA | WALKING THE STREETS OF PALMA | PIRATES ADVENTURE DINNER SHOW]
Today was a day spent in Palma, the capital of Mallorca Island.
Our first stop was an unexpected surprise. We were headed towards the Royal Palace of La Almudaina when we noticed a highly underrated museum, Fundación Bartolomé March. The entrance fees were a bit pricey (€10) compared to some of the other museums and cathedrals that we went to. But we loved the view from another angle of the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca.
There were a few paintings in there by renowned artist, Dali as well as sculptures by Rodin.
At the Royal Palace of La Almudaina, we got tickets on the spot, after queuing for a short while. This palace dates back to the 14th century and was one of the official residences of the royal family. We got a glimpse of how the royals lived during their stay in Palma.
Just next to the palace, Catedral-Basílica de Santa María de Mallorca sits just next door, hence both attractions are most visited in the city.
Tickets here cannot be bought on the spot and will need to be bought online (€20). I tried using Apple Pay but was unable to use it. So you’ll need a card to pay for it.
To enter their rooftop, visitors have to hike up the 215 steps of stairs in a stairwell. Once up there, catch your breath and you breathe in the panoramic view of the city.
Afterward, I walked around the area to shop before heading back to drop off my items before heading for the Pirates Adventure Dinner Show.
The place was packed by the time we entered. We were situated right at the back but I’d argue we had quite the view because it was centralised and the cast members do come close to utilise some of the equipment at the back.
We started with our dinner after being seated in a small booth with another family. They’ll seat 6 people at a table, separating between odds and evens at the queue for this purpose.
Dinner was served, roasted chicken with steakhouse fries which was not fantastic but hey, we were there for the performance. There is a vegetarian option that you can request. Soft drinks are free-flow and self-serve to the sides. I’d suggest snagging a bottle of 1.5 litres of water before the start of the show.
During dinner, the four main pirates got child audiences to participate in a series of mini-games. The kids were adorable as they scrambled to complete the task at hand.
There were a few people celebrating their birthday and there was a quick celebration before the show began.
Their performance was spectacular. It was a pirate-themed circus filled with great acrobats, music, dancing and fire shows.
The highly skilled artists left us jaw-dropped when they seemed to do the seemingly impossible with each act.
If you’re in Mallorca, and looking for a night out, this is a perfect one worth your time.
After the show, we headed towards the beach to snack and have some drinks before calling it a night.
GRANADA
DAY 7 [TRAVEL TO GRANADA, BASÍLICA DE SAN JUAN DE DIOS, CATEDRAL DE GRANADA, LA ALCAICERÍA O ANTIGUO MERCADO DE LA SEDA, ROYAL CHAPEL OF GRANADA, BAR LOS DIAMANTES, FLAMENCO AT JARDINES DE ZORAYA, BAR LOS ARCOS]
This morning, we took the early bus [A11] towards the airport. We scheduled a bit more time in case of rush hour traffic and arrived on time.
Our flight was early as we wanted to spend more time in Granada.
It was a quick flight with Air Europa and we landed by lunchtime. We took a bus from the airport to the centre outside the cathedral. There are many more stops in comparison with the buses from other cities. Most buses accept cash but not all accept cards so it’ll be good to have some cash on hand. We didn’t book this beforehand.
After settling down, I took a walk around the neighbourhood, starting with Basílica de San Juan de Dios. Built in mid 18th century, this baroque-decorated Basilica is home to St John’s of God’s remains. While it might be plain on the outside, it makes up for it with the gold on seemingly everything in its interior. The details for the dark wood doors, arches, dome and most importantly the main altar were so intricate. It costs €7 to enter and comes with an audio guide.
Afterward, I wandered to Granada’s more well-known Cathedral, Catedral de Granada. I didn’t go in having just visited the Basilica, but my friend did mention that it was one of the bigger churches that we’ve seen so far. If you are pressed for time and prefer not to see any remains, then this might be a better alternative. Otherwise, Basílica de San Juan de Dios is an underrated gem that you should not miss out on!
I took a quick stop at La Alcaicería o antiguo mercado de la seda, just a stone’s throw away from the cathedral. It was a huge Arab Market built where the Arabs were granted exclusive trade on silks in the 15th century. However, the small street in its place now is a more modern replica of the old market that was destroyed in the 19th century. If you’re lucky, you may find something you like from the little shops along the street that remain, selling little souvenirs and fabric.
Tip: The streets here are highly narrow and make a good place for pickpockets to target unsuspecting people. So do keep your belongings close to you. Near the cathedral or other religious sites, there are people (typically older ladies) holding on to sprigs of rosemary who will thrust them into the hands of tourists for ‘free’ while offering ‘fortune telling’ services in Spanish. After which, they’ll expect something in return. Simply be a bit more assertive and say “no tengo dinero” (I have no money). If they spend too much time on you, they’ll move on to their next target.
Royal Chapel of Granada is the other must-visit while in the area. I was prohibited from taking photos in there so I just took my time to go through the halls. This is the final resting place of the Catholic Monarchs, Isabel I de Castilla and Fernando II de Aragón where the tombs are in the middle. However, the monarchs are actually in the coffin underneath that and you can see it after descending the small flight of stairs.
After visiting the royal chapel, I had a late lunch at Bodegas Castañeda but decided otherwise since I didn’t feel very welcomed. Instead, I walked towards Bar Los Diamantes and had some of the best-fried fish. The staff recommended me their mixed set and was so friendly. The serving time was very speedy and if you got a drink, you got some free taps too. All are really yummy. This was the spot to be if you wanna mix with the locals and I can’t recommend it enough.
The highlight for the day would be to visit the flamenco performance at Jardines de Zoraya. We skipped the dinner and just got tickets to the famous Spanish dance. Luckily we got seated front row, in the center of the stage and got to witness some amazing dance.
Tip: if you’re coming from Catholic Isabel (that street) and see that walking to Jardines de Zoraya is merely 20 minutes, be prepared that the entire journey comprises of cobbled stairs heading upwards. Whew won’t recommend ascending them in heels again.
Not repeating our mistake, we took a cab back to the hostel to change out of our heels and dresses, after the performance. And headed to a bar nearby called Bar Los Arcos. My friend couldn’t resist trying out all the wines here and she loved some of the tapas here. We got some fish too but didn’t enjoy it since it was too salty for our tastebuds.
DAY 8 [LA ALHAMBRA – NASRID PALACE, GENERALIFE, RESTAURANT LA MIMBRE, LA BELLA FONDA]
La Alhambra is a must-visit UNESCO World Heritage Site when you’re in Granada. It is known as one of the most well-preserved palaces of the historically Islamic world (?) and came as no surprise that it was nominated as one of the wonders of the world (they came in 8th).
The first stop we took was to head towards Nasrid Palace. There is a timing for this visit and visitors have to be punctual. You can always visit the other areas at any other time of the day. We got confused with all the queues when the actual queue was just outside the museum. We ended up late (coming at 11:20 am even though we were early). Thankfully, the staff was kind enough to let us through after checking our tickets.
Tip: we were at the end of a long queue and we just went up front to double-check since our timing had long passed. We were let in almost immediately (I suspect that the tickets might ‘expire’.)
Note: We also had to carry our passport or other forms of identification if you’re a local and show it at each entrance.
Generalife was the summer palace and filled with a huge and stunning garden, landscaped with fountains and other water features and well-groomed gardens of flowers.
After the exit of Generalife, head nearby for some lunch, at Restaurant La Mimbre. Turn right as you exit and walk a short distance down the hill. You should see the restaurant on your right. We ate on the outside, under the shade of the trees. Their steak and salad were all very good and were served in huge portions too.
Afterward, we headed back towards the museum area, walking further down to go up the lookout points. The views here are amazing and you get to see the whole of Granada. There are a few fortresses here (and one of them had a few flights of stairs so ensure that you’re physically able for that). If you can go up, the view does not disappoint.
it was really hot so we tired out and headed back to the hostel to rest before going for dinner nearby.
I went to La Bella Fonda For their menu of the day (€15). It was not the best that I’ve had but I think it was well worth it as it came with a primer, segundo, postre and drink.
Note: apparently you’ve got to pay extra to sit outside. I suspect this might be a scam but I didn’t notice it until I left the restaurant. So do check before sitting down and paying for the bill.
Another place I would love to try is (an Italian restaurant). I was too full from dinner, we had some drinks here and called it a night.
MADRID
DAY 9 [EL BAÑUELO, GALLETANAS, CASA HORNO DE ORO, TO MADRID, DINNER AT EL CADERO]
We had some time before the train to Madrid. So we checked out and left our luggage at the hostel.
We got ourselves some Maccas for breakfast and set off. Originally, we were supposed to meet up in Mirador de San Nicolás, my friend was going to hike up and I was gonna take the bus and we were competing. But plans changed along the way and I ended up at El Bañuelo and Casa Horno de Oro. I got the tickets at El Bañuelo (€?) and could go into a few places since each attraction was just a short one. They were also scattered around the area so you’ve got to hunt for them. In the meantime, I saw some festive dance happening along the streets and got some postcards.
By then it was time to head to the train station via taxi (which was surprisingly not that expensive). This was our first time taking the train in Spain and it’s a lot different compared to Italy. They were much more strict about the security and x-ray all your bags (including hand carry and luggage). By the time we arrived at the station, there was already a huge line forming. We were split into two lines, for two different trains, so keep an ear out for the staff segregating the lines.
Go earlier as there is limited space on the luggage racks, especially if you are carrying a huge suitcase like us.
There are toilets and also a food cart where you can get some snacks and drinks.
This train took a detour to more stops, hence it took almost 3 hours to arrive in Madrid. If you are pressed for time, you can always book a direct which will cost more.
By the time we settled into our hotel, it was time for dinner. We were nearby to another place, El Caldero, selling paella and patatas bravas. We couldn’t get enough of it in Spain. It was 9:30 by the time we reached the restaurant and that was when the crowd started trickling in. Service here was pretty good as well (and we had some bad service while we were here).
We wandered the streets of Madrid to get some water and snacks for the last day.
DAY 10 [PLAZA MAYOR, ROYAL PALACE OF MADRID, MUSASHI, MUSEO NACIONAL DEL PRADO, CHOCOLATERIA SAN GINES]
Our only day in Madrid was spent at two of the more important places. We took our time to explore this Palace.
We left our hotel around 10:30 and cut through the heart of Madrid, Plaza Mayor. To be honest, there was not much here since it was blocked by vans parked. There were a few restaurants here and we just walked through the area.
We weren’t able to get the tickets to the Palace of Madrid online so we hopped into the long queue. Thankfully, we didn’t miss this spectacular palace, the entrance fee was €12. This palace is regarded as the official residence of the Spanish royal family, although they don’t physically live there.
The plaza in front of the palace was so wide, that it felt much bigger than Plaza Mayor which we walked past earlier.
We took a walk around the palace, seeing how the residence was lived in by King Charles III in 1764. The ceilings, sculptures, and paintings show how royalty from the past lived as they showed their status, especially in the throne room.
A nice bonus is that you get to see the corona tumular and scepter which are used during the monarchies’ swear-in ceremonies. The last it was used, was on 19 June 2014, after the abdication of King Juan Carlos I to his son King Felipe VI. It is permanently on display in the ‘Crown’ room in the Palace.
After being dazzled, we headed for some Japanese nearby, Musashi as we were missing some Asian food. The food here was pretty good, a bit salty for our taste so we think that it’s been localised.
After, we headed over to Museo Nacional del Prado as I wanted to see the painting ‘La Meminas’ by Diego Valázquez which was an interesting painting as the subject didn’t match the title of the piece.
Do allocate some time to walk through the halls of this museum as it is so huge. We spent hours walking around. I believe there is a map and if you’re looking for the painting, it’s on the second level (you’re welcome!). Thankfully, there are seats to rest when you get tired.
We spent the rest of the day shopping a little as we didn’t have the opportunity to do so, along Calle Gran Vía. There were lots of stores such as Zara, H&M, Mango and Primark if you’re looking for a bargain.
We ended the day with some very good Italian food at La Tagliatella. We got some starters, salads and pasta here and it was such a delicious meal. We chat for hours while having our dinner. They were served in big portions so you can consider sharing.
On our way home, we made a detour to San Ginés Chocolateria to get some truffles, chocolate as souvenirs and their famous churros with molten chocolate.
I’m not a big fan of cinnamon on the churros so I was happy to see that this was not coated with it. It tastes just like ‘you tiao’ but the Spanish version. The chocolate was surprisingly not as sweet as I thought it might be.
I did wish that we stayed in Madrid a bit longer as I wanted to spend some time at Puerta del Sol and Parque del Retiro and have lunch at Mercado San Miguel.
DAY 11 [Day of Travelling]
We left Madrid early in the morning. We went back to the Madrid Atocha Railway Station to catch a bus [Bus 203 to Aeropuerto] to the airport. But we got a bit lost at the station. This was the bus that we took.
We aren’t used to such a big airport, so my advice is to find your gate first which may require you to take a tram to your gate. You can always get some food near your gate.
