Reus Airport (REU) Mini Guide
Reus airport is an ideal place to alight for a beach holiday as it is situated on the Costa Dorada around seven and a half kilometres from Tarragona in
Spain.
The airport welcomes many tourists who are going to the beach resorts of Salou and Cambrils as well as one of the largest theme parks in Europe, Port Aventura.
Another popular destination for passengers is to travel to the Mountains of Prades, a Mediterranean forest in the comarca of Baix Camp while the neighboring region of the Priorat is known for the quality of its wines.
The airport is currently being adapted so that it can cope with a large influx of passengers which has doubled over the last 10 years or so. The new check in hall is ready but the new arrivals hall and departure area will benefit from finishing touches in the near future.
The demand for Reus has been fuelled by the low cost airlines which use it, especially as it is a good alternative arrival location for those who want to head to
Barcelona, some 90 kilometres to the north.
Those airlines include Air Europa, bmi, Blue Air, Firstchoiceairways, flyglobespan, Monarch, Thomas Cook and Thomsonfly. In February 2008 Ryanair also created a base at Reus so the airport can only expect to get more popular.
On arrival there are a few car rental companies to choose from such as Avis, Europcar, Hertz and Solmar.
Parking is currently free at Reus Airport. The car park is open between 8am-11pm and there are 444 spaces available.
Works are being carried out to expand the car park and a provisional car park has been set up next to the original car park.
If you plan to go to the town of Reus it is only three kilometres away and the town of Constanti is also not far away.
