Reus Airport – REU is the first stop to most of the tourists on their way to the holiday resorts of Costa Dorada in Spain.
See map of Costa Dorada.
The airport is located in the town of Reus, approx. 5 miles north-west of the city of Tarragona and in a short distance from popular tourist area of Cambrils (9 miles) and Salou (7 miles). One of the largest amusement parks in Europe, PortAventura is only a short drive away from Reus Airport.
With a strong presence of low-cost airlines with routes from the UK, the small Reus Airport is worth considering as an alternative to the overcrowded Barcelona Airport. It only takes about an hour drive from Reus to Barcelona in Costa Brava and in most cases, car hire at Reus Airport is considerably cheaper than in Barcelona Airport.
