\"\"Time really flies! it seems like it was yesterday when we had such a great time at dreamOl\u00e9 17, and we are just so close to dreamOl\u00e9 18. We are pretty sure you\u2019ve already bought, or are about to buy your ticket, so we wanted to let you know about the options you have to get from your home to this year\u2019s venue. We have all the details so that you don\u2019t have to worry! The fact is that we are a team strategically distributed all over Spain (we even have ambassadors abroad), therefore we have decided to collect the options that ourselves are considering to get to Barcelona.<\/span><\/p>\n

As usually happens, there is not \u201cthe best option\u201d but it depends on your preferences, economy, etc, besides we may have not considered using some transport you might have thought of.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

How to get from\u2026 MADRID\"\"<\/b><\/p>\n

You have several options because both cities are very well connected. <\/span><\/p>\n

Plane<\/b><\/p>\n

If you are a traveller with high flights but you have the private jet in the workshop, you might want to choose any of the flights that connect Madrid to Barcelona. Our advice is that you use skyscanner so that you avoid searching over the websites of all the airlines that have connections between the two biggest cities in the country.<\/span><\/p>\n

But if flying is not your thing, you can use other options, like the train, the bus or a private car.<\/span><\/p>\n

Train: RENFE\"\"<\/b><\/p>\n

It is a fact that AVE (High Speed Train) is not as fast as the plane, but it will get you closer to dreamOl\u00e9: this year\u2019s venue is just 10 minutes away from Sants train station (more details below).<\/span><\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t mind getting up early, you can catch the first train in the morning and travel the same day of the event, otherwise you will need to travel on Thursday, which will allow you to enjoy Thursday night in the \u201cCondal City\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Bus<\/b><\/p>\n

It\u2019s probably the most economic option, but also the slowest: almost 8 hours long, best case. <\/span><\/p>\n

Alsa\u2019s buses end most trips at Sants station (just as AVE, High Speed Train), but some end in Nord station. If you can, choose the option that ends in Sants train station, which is the one just next to the venue where dreamOl\u00e9 happens.<\/span><\/p>\n

Car or motorbike<\/b><\/p>\n

You need to know that from Madrid city center to the venue there are about 600 km. The shortest route is through the A-2\/AP-2 motorway (where you need to pay toll in Zaragoza), but you can save the toll fees when you get to Catalunya if you get out of the AP-2 and get to the A-2 route. To do so you need to leave the AP-2 in the \u201cSalida 5 (Soses\/Alcarr\u00e0s)\u201d, where you will have to pay for the last toll, and from there it will be free up to Barcelona.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

How to get from\u2026 BILBAO\"\"<\/b><\/p>\n

If you come from the \u201ctxirimiri\u201d country (rain that does not get you wet, but fresh, just a bit of a drizzle) looking for a bit of spring sun\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plane: <\/b>Skyscanner<\/b><\/p>\n

Same story, again this is the fastest option (1h 10 min plus 30 min extra from the Airport to Plaza Espa\u00f1a). Flights available from 60\u20ac.<\/span><\/p>\n

Train<\/b><\/p>\n

You can take an Alvia train, which takes about 7 hours to get to Barcelona, so you would have no option but to travel on Thursday 26th April.<\/span><\/p>\n

You will get to Sants train station, where you can catch metro line 3 (green color in the map) and in just 2 stopovers you\u2019ll be in Plaza Espa\u00f1a and in dreamOl\u00e9!<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"Bus<\/b><\/p>\n

Bus is the slowest option, and not always the cheapest one, but it takes about 8 hours to get to the hotel. Remember to choose the bus option that gets you to Sants Station, which is the closest to dreamOl\u00e9, again, you should book with Alsa.<\/span><\/p>\n

Car or Motorbike<\/b><\/p>\n

If you live in Bilbao, tolls are no longer a secret for you and bad news is AP-68 and AP-2 highways are not cheap. If you want to save some Euros, just as we proposed from Madrid, when you get to Catalunya get the Exit number 5 and take the A-2 highway where you will go free up to Barcelona. Full trip is around 600 kms.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

How to get from\u2026 GRANADA\"\"<\/b><\/p>\n

If you come from the South (your Andalusian humor will be more than welcome in Barcelona) the best options are plane or train, unless you feel like doing a road trip by car or taking a bus for veeery long hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Plane: Skyscanner<\/b><\/p>\n

Train: Renfe<\/b><\/p>\n

It will save you a couple of hours (and far way more relaxed) \u00a0if you come by train rather than by car, or even more by bus. The counterpart is that it might take you long hours too so you need to travel the day before.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bus<\/b><\/p>\n

By far is the worst option, as it will take you 14 hours to get to Barcelona.<\/span><\/p>\n

Car or motorbike<\/b><\/p>\n

The route is about 850 kms using the AP-7 highway which drives all over the East coast of Spain (Levante).<\/span><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

\"\"How to get from\u2026 SEVILLE<\/b><\/p>\n

This year dreamOl\u00e9 is a bit further for you guys coming from Seville, but plane and train are still the best options. <\/span><\/p>\n

Plane: Skyscanner<\/b><\/p>\n

Train: Renfe<\/b><\/p>\n

Not a bad idea to catch AVE (High Speed Train), where you can be in Barcelona in about 5.30 hours, and you take it easy enjoying the trip.<\/span><\/p>\n

Last minute tickets are not a good idea, since some of the trains are already full!<\/span><\/p>\n

Bus<\/b><\/p>\n

Well\u2026 that\u2019s up to you if you don\u2019t mind spending between 14 or 16 hours in a bus\u2026.<\/span><\/p>\n

Car or motorbike<\/b><\/p>\n

Mister Google Maps proposes 2 different routes:<\/span><\/p>\n
