You must think I’ve seen all the beautiful Barcelona. We agree that it is a welcoming city and perfect to combine with a holiday on the Costa Brava, but did you know that just one hour by train you can find quiet beaches with real sand and a lively nightlife? Take a break from Barcelona and come to Canella for your getaway weekend.
Weekdays and weekends you can travel by taking Rosalie’s de Cataluña, the rhomb line to Canella is going from Moline de Reid Maçanet-Massanes, line R1. The most central stations to catch the train are the Saints Station, Plaza Cataluña and Arc de Triumph. Canella has only one season, so it’s easy to get.
You can buy train tickets from Barcelona to Canella in vending machines that will easily find in all seasons. The cost of the ticket is € 3.65 per journey, cheap ¿right?
The journey in itself is an experience in itself. The route is not far from the sea ever, which means that will surprise the fantastic sea views, traditional villages pass by Catalans and the most beautiful beaches. The best thing is that the more you go, the better the view. So do not sleep on this train!
