What the transfer covers
Platja d'Aro is the beach town of the municipality of Castell d'Aro, Platja d'Aro i s'Agaró, on the central coast of the Baix Empordà. The Generalitat de Catalunya's Costa Brava guide describes it as a town on a two-kilometer stretch of beach that has become a major seaside resort, and the town's tourism office measures Platja Gran at 2,162 meters, of coarse sand, in an urban setting with access to the coastal path. Behind the sand, the same office promotes the town as the open-air shopping centre of the Costa Brava, with more than 200 shops along wide avenues. Inland, the old village of Castell d'Aro keeps its 11th-century Benedormiens castle, now an art space, and the garden town of S'Agaró is part of the same municipality.
The estimate for this transfer: 105 km by road, about 1 h 25 min without traffic. The C-31 and C-33 carry it out of Barcelona onto the AP-7; it then leaves the motorway for the C-35 and finishes on the C-65 down to the coast. Drop-off is at the hotel, apartment or house you name, on the seafront or back from the beach.

Why book a private chauffeur

To a seafront hotel or a side street
Platja Gran runs for more than two kilometers, so name the hotel or give the street address, and the transfer ends there.
Room for the shopping
Coming for the shops? If you are going back the same day, ask for the return in the same request and list what you expect to carry.
Three places, one municipality
Platja d'Aro, the old village of Castell d'Aro and S'Agaró share one town hall. Give the exact address so the drop-off is in the right one.
Return from Platja d'Aro to Barcelona
There is no separate page for the Platja d'Aro to Barcelona transfer. Ask for the return in the same request, with its date and time, and we quote both directions.
