Reus Airport Information

Reus Airport is the gateway to the Costa Daurada region of Spain including the resort of Salou, and the city of Tarragona. The airport is located around 10 minutes from the town of Reus.

The airport at Reus is a small airport with a single terminal building for arrivals and departures, and during the winter months it can be very quiet. During winter there aren't many holiday flights to Reus, and visitors could be mistaken for thinking that the airport was closed. However, once the tourist season starts, the airport transforms into a busy airport shuttling holidaymakers to the Costa Daurada resorts.

The AP7 (E-15) motorway which stretches the length of the eastern mediterranean coastline of Spain makes travelling in the region fast and simple, but the AP7 is now a toll road. It costs around 25 Euros to travel from Tarragona to Valencia via the AP7, and around 12 Euros to get to Barcelona. There is an older road which runs parallel to the AP7, which takes a bit longer but allows visitors to see some of the local towns.

Car Hire at Reus Airport

 Car hire companies with onsite vehicle collection at Reus Airport are:-

• Firefly
• Hertz
• Goldcar

Rental vehicles for these companies are collected and returned to the parking area to the front of the airport terminal building. Other companies provide car hire from the rental car compounds at the edge of the airport (note Reus is a very small airport, so transfer times are a couple of minutes).

Where to Stay

 Reus Airport is a 10 minute drive from the town of Reus, and around 20 minutes from the large city of Tarragona. However, if you are looking for somewhere to stay close to the airport with beaches, the resort of Salou has plenty of hotels at reasonable prices. Expect to pay around €50-70 per night for a double room in Reus or Salou. The nearby seaside resort of Cambrils is quieter than Salou but has plenty of hotels on the seafront and is a good base for a holiday in the Costa Daurada.

Costa Daurada

Reus Airport is located a few kilometres from some excellent beaches at resorts like Salou, Cambrils and Vilafortuny. The Costa Daurada coastline is essentially a Spanish holiday region, although some of the larger resorts such as Salou are frequented more by foreign tourists, so don't expect everyone to speak English if you visit this region.

Located to the north of Reus towards the coast is the protected wetland area of the Ebro Delta nature reserve. The Ebro Delta offers some of the best bird-watching and fishing in Spain. The town of Amposta is the centre of the Ebro Delta region.

The coastline Costa Daurada has a number of beach resorts, the largest of which is the town of Salou. If you are searching for a good destination for children Salou has beaches, waterparks, tourists bars and shops and also has a large campsite in the centre of the town.

To the south of the Costa Daurada, the resorts of Vinaros and Benicarlo are popular with Spanish tourists.

Costa del Azahar

Around 150 km to the south of Reus, the Costa Daurada meets the Costa del Azahar which stretches south to Valencia. There are many small Spanish resorts spread along the Costa del Azahar, including the seaside town of Benicassim which is better known for hosting Benicassim Music Festival.
