Girona Airport Mini Guide
Girona airport is located in the north east of Spain on the Costa Brava and handles more than four million passengers every year.

In P1 (on the north side of the Terminal) there are 860 spaces and a car park meeting point at the entrance to this building.
The car park is controlled by a 24-hour security service and customer assistance. Entry is through the single access, consisting of two entrances. There are two exits for leaving the car park.
The main roads around the airport are the E15/AP 7 toll road, the C25 from Lleida, and the N11 toll free road which goes from Madrid to France via Barcelona.
