Girona-Costa Brava (GRO) Airport

Girona-Costa Brava GRO Airport Overview

Girona-Costa Brava Airport GRO is close to the tourist destinations of the Costa Brava and the Pyrenees, and is only a 40-minute drive from the French border. Even though the Airport is 92 km north of Barcelona, many prefer this Airport as an alternative to hectic Barcelona Airport (buses can take passengers to nearby Girona’s train station for a connecting train to Barcelona or elsewhere). Since Ryanair had chosen the Airport as one of its European hubs, passenger traffic had increased dramatically in the past years.

The Airport is located next to the village of Vilobi d’Onyar, 12 km southwest of the city of Girona, in the north-east of Catalonia, Spain. Motorways N-II, AP-7 (Exit 8) and motorway C-25 have marked exits joining the road to the Airport.

With a long runway and an estimated 2.8 million passengers in 2012 (in 2002 there were only 557,187), the Airport is served by domestic and international, regular and low-cost airlines, as well as various charter companies.

The on-Airport Salles Hotel Aeroport Girona can be contacted at tel. 972 477 940.
