The drive between Barcelona and Tarragona
The usual route between Barcelona and Tarragona follows the C-32 to El Vendrell and continues on the AP-7, or takes the inland AP-7 through the Penedès. From central Barcelona it is about 100 km and approximately 70-90 minutes, and from El Prat airport about 85 km and approximately 60-75 minutes, depending on traffic.
We collect you from your home, hotel, office or the airport arrivals hall and drop you at the exact address in Tarragona. If you are going to the Port of Tarragona, the petrochemical industrial area or Camp de Tarragona high-speed station, mention it when booking so we can plan the pickup time properly.

Business trips to Tarragona
Many of our transfers to Tarragona are for meetings at chemical and industrial companies, at the port or at the university. Travelling with a driver lets you work on the way and arrive on time, without worrying about parking or driving the AP-7 at rush hour. Drivers wear a suit and tie and are discreet and punctual throughout the journey.
For companies, we offer invoicing by department, cost centre or reference, and bookings can be managed from our Android and iOS app or a web account. If you need the driver all day for several visits, book the service by the hour and the driver stays at your disposal for the whole working day.
What to see in Tarragona
Tarragona preserves much of Roman Tarraco, a UNESCO World Heritage Site: the amphitheatre by the sea, the circus, the city walls and the Archaeological Promenade. The Part Alta old town with its cathedral, and the Rambla Nova down to the Balcó del Mediterrani viewpoint, are easy to cover on foot in a morning.
For a day trip from Barcelona, you can book a driver by the hour and combine Tarragona with a stop at a Penedès winery or the coast at Salou and Cambrils. The price is fixed and confirmed before you set off, however you divide your time between visits within the booked service.
