Why Sants is the usual starting point
Barcelona Sants is the city’s main long-distance station: high-speed and long-distance trains from Madrid and the rest of Spain stop there. Andorra has no railway at all, so travellers arriving by train have to continue by road. The scheduled buses to Andorra leave from other points in the city at fixed times; a private transfer starts at the station, when your train arrives.
When booking, choose Barcelona city as your pick-up point and write “Sants station” and your train number in the booking form. If your train is running late, send us a WhatsApp message and we will adjust the pick-up.
Planner
What time will you reach your hotel?
Tell us when you land and where you are going. We tell you when you will leave the airport and the window in which you arrive, allowing for the Cadí route, the border and the day’s traffic.
Estimated arrival
15:40 – 16:25
- Driving: 163 to 187 min (192 km).
- Border and traffic margin: 0–15 min.
An estimate based on driving times without traffic plus a careful margin. Not official data: no public source publishes waiting times at the Andorran border.
Where your driver meets you
Sants is a large station with several exits. Before your trip you receive your driver’s name and phone number by email; on the day, your driver waits for you inside the station with a sign showing your name, or at the exit you agree beforehand, and helps you with your luggage to the vehicle.
From Sants the vehicle heads out of Barcelona towards Manresa and climbs to the Cadí tunnel, or takes the C-14 via Ponts when traffic or the weather make it the better option. Allow about 2 h 45 to Andorra la Vella without traffic, a little more to Soldeu or Arinsal.
Families, suitcases and groups
In the search box you enter passengers and suitcases and only see the vehicles where everything fits. Each vehicle carries up to 8 passengers; larger groups travel in several vehicles that leave the station together. Child seats are compulsory below 135 cm: add them when booking (they are a paid extra) and your driver brings them.
If you are arriving at the airport instead of the station, use our Barcelona Airport to Andorra page: there we track your flight and you get 60 minutes of free waiting from the actual landing time.
Going back to Sants from Andorra
At the end of your stay we can collect you at your hotel in Andorra and drive you back to Sants for your train. Allow for the Spanish customs post at La Farga de Moles and for traffic entering Barcelona: see Andorra to Barcelona city for timing advice.
