About Renting a Car at Barcelona Mas Blau

Mas Blau is a residential area in El Prat de Llobregat, located extremely close to Barcelona Airport with four rental companies to choose from. With just 2–3 km to the airport terminals and 20 km to Barcelona Center, this is one of the best locations for car pick-up in the region. Sitges is reached in 20 km to the south and Tarragona in 90 km via AP-7.

Mas Blau borders the Llobregat Delta directly, a nature reserve with rich birdlife and green spaces. El Prat de Llobregat Center with its local restaurants and markets is 2 km to the north. The area is well-planned with wide streets and good parking availability.
