Port of Barcelona · European crossroads · UK-Catalonia daily
Transvolando coordinates road freight from Barcelona across Spain, the UK and the rest of Europe. Barcelona is Spain’s #2 Mediterranean port (after Valencia) and the country’s industrial and logistics engine for Catalonia. It hosts SEAT’s main Martorell plant, Grifols pharma HQ, the Zona Franca logistics-industrial complex, and El Prat airport (BCN) — Spain’s second largest cargo airport. The AP-7 motorway crosses directly into France at La Jonquera, making Barcelona the European gateway for Spanish freight.
