For Castelldefels, Terminal 1 is the shorter start by road: the estimate leaves T1 on the C-31, and the Terminal 2 figure on the board is slightly longer. Aena lists Sant Boi and Viladecans, alongside El Prat de Llobregat, as the municipalities the airport grounds cover (Aena).
A short run down the coast
Castelldefels is a Baix Llobregat town of 69,689 people (Idescat, 2025) laid out between the Mediterranean and the Garraf massif, with Gavà on its eastern and northern side and Sitges to the west. The Baix Llobregat tourism office counts 6 kilometers of beach, and lists the Canal Olímpic for water sports, the castle, and watchtowers it describes as a legacy of the age of pirate raids. The canal, the Canal Olímpic de Catalunya, was built for the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Games.
From the airport this is one of the shortest transfers on the map. For the run from Terminal 1 along the C-31 to the town center, an OpenStreetMap routing estimate made on September 30, 2026 gives 13 km, about 15 min by road without traffic. Addresses here run from the seafront up into the hills behind the town, which reach about 300 meters at the Turó del Fanxó, so the exact street decides the last part of the drive.
Drop-off in Castelldefels
Send the street and number, or the hotel's name, with your request: the quote is for that address, whether it is a beach apartment or a house up the hillside. If you are going to the Canal Olímpic rather than a home or hotel, say so and give the entrance you need.
For journeys that start in Castelldefels during your stay, the Castelldefels chauffeur page covers the town.
Back from Castelldefels to Barcelona Airport
There is no separate page for the drive back to the airport. Add the return to the same request, or ask for it on its own with your departure flight.

Questions about Barcelona Airport to Castelldefels transfers
Which terminal is the shorter start for Castelldefels?
Terminal 1, by about 2 km. Measured from Terminal 1, the drive to Castelldefels is about 13 km along the C-31 and takes about 15 min without traffic (estimate: OpenStreetMap road routing, no traffic, checked September 30, 2026). In a straight line the town is about 7.7 km from the airport.
Our hotel is near the Canal Olímpic. Can the transfer end there?
The quote is for the address you send, so give the hotel's name and street. The Canal Olímpic de Catalunya was built for the 1992 Olympic Games and is listed by the Baix Llobregat tourism office as the town's water sports facility (Turisme Baix Llobregat).
How far does Castelldefels reach, from the beach to the hills?
From the sea up into the Garraf massif. Turisme Baix Llobregat describes the town between the Mediterranean and the Garraf, with about 6 km of beach and the Turó del Fanxó rising to about 300 m. Whether your address is on the seafront or up the hill, send the street and number, and the quote is for that point.
We are going on to Sitges. Is that a separate page?
Yes. Sitges borders Castelldefels to the west, and the Barcelona Airport to Sitges transfer has its own estimate, which continues from the C-31 onto the C-32.
