You can see a list from here www.getyourguide.com/barcelona-l45/wine-tasting-winery-tours-tc104/
Most are walking/tasting tours but some are wineries. Region has some original wines but cava is probably most known.

Fast track sounds like a publicity stunt by 3rd websites to mark up the cost. All Sagrada tickets are timed so entry is within 15 min of that time. Different categories listed in Sagrada site and can be purchased. Starts at 17€ and goes up from there.

If you are going on Air Transat they are not in a rush. And not even disclosing why they are late. Last I took them they were 3 hrs late (arrived close to 4pm) which made cruise passengers scramble to get to port on time. Would've been a good case for cancellation/interruption insurance.
As far as Camp Nou goes if they arrive on
time it takes at least 30-45 min to disembark. So again taxi to stadium, wait and then port might work. It's pricey but doable.

Looks like little tourist train goes there + taxis. Tarragona is not big and easily walkable.
-
Since time is tight I would hire taxi driver in port, go to Camp Nou and then to the airport. Official tariff for wait time is 22.40€ per hour.

Sants is a train station, has luggage storage and direct train to airport. Camp Nou is about 25 min by metro from Sants but 2pm makes it tight as tour open around 10am and you should be at airport at noon at the latest. https://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/transport/stations/estacio-sants/left-luggage-sants-station.html

I can see two options: either be the first to check into the cruise (may be around noon) and then go to Camp Nou or take Renfe train from T2 terminal to Sants station, leave luggage there, do the tour, come back and then cab to port. Renfe takes T10 ticket (10 rides for 10.2€) that later can be used on metro to go to Camp Nou and back.

There is some info here https://www.getxo.eus/en/turismo/cruceros-turismo/como-llegar-y-aparcar
Looks bus stop is slightly closer than Neguri metro but ride is longer.
-
Sure, budget 10-15 min to get from cabin to taxi stand (carrying luggage and not relying on cruise line to deliver to baggage carousel). Then 30 min taxi ride. BCN airport can be busy especially T1 terminal so allocate another 2-2.5 hrs before flight departure.
-
If cruise company provides shuttle it's about 30 min o/w to Plaza Moya (which is may be 10 min walk to Guggenheim and 20-25 min to old Town). Price in 12-15€. Closest metro is about 30 - 40 min walk from port. And then another 30 min train ride to center of Bilbao. Taxi is 25-30€ ballpark o/w.
-
Barcelonetta is metro station and neighborhood name. Beach is the same, starting (or ending) at W hotel and stretching to Casino Barcelona. Officially has two names: Barcelonetta and San Sebastian but it's the same stretch. IMHO it's not great, way better beach short train ride away: in either direction from Barcelona. 30 min will get one to Sitges.
-
I don't see how Sagrada, Park Guell, Aerobus and HoHo bus add up to 76€ even assuming that all are used. There are some other 20% off discounts assuming they are used.
-
Casa Montana is well known and good restaurant but hard to get in https://www.emilianobodega.com. Located in port area.
-
As of 2018 authorization is needed to visit Cies www.mardeons.es/en/blog/islas-cies/espanol-como-visitar-las-islas-cies-obten-tu-autorizacion-de-la-xunta/
Other then this extra step trip is easy, goes from the same port where cruises dock and cost 16€ RT.
-
Also if I remember correctly I used T10 on Renfe within city limits but never used Renfe ticket on metro. So if first option works then second may work also. You'll get paper ticket from Combinado Cercanias code. Can certainly try, worse thing machine on metro will reject it
-
Trip to pl.Catalynia Renfe station from Sants is about 4 min. Walk from there to hotel Arc Rambla is another 15 min. Taxi will be in 12-15€ range as surcharge is applicable to Sants pick ups.
-
Metro connection is not part of Renfe ticket only Renfe Cercanias. You can get to Pl.Catalynia Renfe station for free with Combinado Cercanias code on your AVE ticket
-
We visited couple of years ago. Very nice high end hotel on the city beach. Area is lively at night. The only minus lack of public transportation, closest metro is about 20 min walk. Walk to Plaza Catalonia and Rambla may be 35-40 min.
-
Vueling goes to Jerez airport from Barcelona once per day. It's a good reliable airline. And very reasonable if tickets purchased in advance. Rota is about 30 min from Jerez airport
-
Which Rota? Actually Rota is near Cadiz and it'll be more like 11-12 hrs to get there. The one in Catalonia is Cerra De la Rota which is couple of hours by car.
-
High speed AVE train is a better and faster option for getting from central Barcelona to central Madrid. Lots of options (up to 2 per hour). Plain ticket may be cheaper but considering getting to and from airports and luggage fees that may not be the case.
-
If one needs more than cana ( which is probably close to half pint) next size is jarra (close to a pint). 2 canas will always cost more than one jarra. 100 Montaditos chain has very cheap beer, last year was 1.5€ for jarra of Cruzcampo.

No, just for items that go in the trunk. To get an approximate fare estimate
Sharing taxi from airport to port
in Spain and Portugal Ports
Posted · Edited by hkto
If sharing a taxi to port saving is 20€ on 39€ fare. Asking people in line and finding someone going to same destination is unlikely. However once I found people (who took same flight and going on same cruise) to share transfer on roll call forum. But that was for much more expensive transfer between Gatwick and Southampton.
