Getting to Lleida
Lleida is located in an important communication and transportation crossroads connecting Spanish roads with the rest of Europe and the Mediterranean. The city of Lleida can be easily reached from Barcelona by highway and railway. Moreover, there is now a high-speed train connecting Madrid and Barcelona through Lleida.
Depending on the airport you choose to arrive in Catalonia the best way to get to Lleida is:
From Barcelona airport (el Prat) to Sants station (Barcelona) by train. From this railway station you can take another train to Lleida. It also exists a bus line from el Prat to Lleida (three daily buses).
From Reus to Lleida by train From Girona to Lleida by bus ("Eix bus") For those arriving by car, there are several alternatives. From the French frontier at La Jonquera the easiest route is to follow the A-7 (toll) motorway to Girona and then follow the "Eix Transversal", a new fast road, to Cervera and from there by the N II (free) motorway to Lleida. The alternative is to follow the A-7 to south of Barcelona and then take the A-2 (direction Lleida/Zaragoza). This route is all motorway but it is all toll.
