===Train===
There are two trains to get – from one the airport to Barcelona Sants train station, and then antoher from Barcelona Sants train station to Girona train station.
'''Part 1: Train from Barcelona airport to Barcelona Sants train station'''
When you arrive at Barcelona airport and you’ve gotten through passport control, look for this sign:
So follow that sign to the airport train station, then buy a ticket at the machines to Barcelona Sants
By the way, don’t follow this sign as it’s for the metro. Not the same thing as the train.

'''Part 2: Train from Barcelona Sants train station to Girona'''
Once at Barcelona Sants, you can buy a ticket for the train to Girona train station
The trains from Barcelona to Girona can be confusing though, because there's two types: the slow trains (which take about 1.5 hours) and the fast trains (which take 40 minutes). You want to get a fast train if possible
to get a ticket for the fast train, look for the ticket booths that have "Larga Distancia" above them. That means "long distance". The booths for the slow train have "Media Distancia" above them, which means "medium distance"
Another option is to take a taxi from the airport to Barcelona Sants train station. It takes 10 minutes and cost around €25.
And you could get one from the terminal you arrive in, Terminal 1<footer><cite><a></a></cite></footer></blockquote>
