Going to Barcelona, possibly?????????

Non Stick Nick here, aka Nick Jennings.
I am after some advice and or help please.
We are due to sail on a cruise from Barcelona for 10 days on May 25th.
We have just learned that British Airways has decided to resume industrial
action including the days we had planned to travel.
So we have some choices to make.
One option open to us is to drive to Barcelona to catch the ship. At least
we would not be subject the the whims of either the airline of the ash
cloud.
So is there anyone on here who can reccomend a place where we might park the D3 secruely for
11days or so.
Regards

Not much help, but I do know that Barcelona's not the place to chose for either driving or parking if this helps narrow down your choices. We stayed at a friend's place near Barcelona last year and took a train into the city, pretty easy journey.

If you're forced into a corner, then find out of town parking and train it. Try this link for a bit more info: http://www.bsmsa.cat/mobilitat/index.php/-home

Leave it at the airport parking even though your not flying, they are normally secure.

He didn't get anything though.

It's certainly an option Thumbs Up But I live outside of the city and you'd need to get trains/buses if I wasn't around to take you or pick you up.

I'll try and do some investigating for you with some of the locals Thumbs Up Thumbs Up 2006 Discovery 3 TDV6 SE Auto Buckingham Blue
