Transfer from Barcelona to La Roca Village: route, journey time and vehicles
La Roca Village is in Santa Agnès de Malanyanes, part of La Roca del Vallès, about 37 km from central Barcelona. Your chauffeur leaves the city on the Ronda Litoral ring road, continues on the C-33 and the AP-7, and takes around 35 minutes without traffic. During the morning and evening rush hours the ring roads out of Barcelona are slower, and we factor that into your pick-up time.
The village has more than 150 fashion, beauty and homeware boutiques, with discounts of up to 60% according to La Roca Village itself. It opens from 10:00 to 21:00; if you plan to go on a public holiday, check the hours on its website first. Visitors who live outside the European Union can claim back VAT on their purchases at the village's tax-free desk.
For this trip we recommend booking your chauffeur by the hour. You can leave your bags in the boot between shops. You return to Barcelona when you finish shopping. A one-way transfer includes 15 minutes of courtesy waiting from the agreed pick-up time. Waiting during your shopping visit requires an hourly quote.
The alternative is the Shopping Express, a coach that runs from Barcelona Nord bus station to the village on a fixed timetable. You still have to get to the station and back with all your shopping. With a chauffeur, pick-up is at your hotel, your home or the cruise terminal, and the car drops you by the entrance.
Inside the village the streets are pedestrian, with cafés and restaurants for a break. If you would rather not carry your bags from shop to shop, La Roca Village runs a service that carries them for you; check the details on its website. We also collect you outside Barcelona, in Sitges, Castelldefels or the Maresme coast, and the journey time depends on where you start.
If your flight leaves in the afternoon, you can check out in the morning with your luggage in the boot, spend a few hours at La Roca and carry on to Barcelona El Prat Airport, about 50 km from the village. If you arrive by cruise ship, the village is about 40 km from the port terminals; tell us your all-aboard time and we plan the return with a safe margin. One or two people travel comfortably in the Mercedes E-Class or S-Class. For families or groups of friends with a lot of bags, the V-Class seats seven and takes seven suitcases.
