Girona flower show
 
Ill be in Barcelona with a cruise from 7am to 5pm on May13.
I was searching for day trips from Barcelona and Girona seems great - then I saw that the flower show will be there. I'm now doubly excited. But concerned- can I do this in one day?

will there be more frequent trains from Barcelona to Girona? Will I have trouble getting a train that will get us back to Barcelona by 4 pm?

In Girona is there transportation to the flower show from the train station?
What train station is easiest to get the Girona train- I understand it stops at several stations in Barcelona.

Thanks for your help

For times of trains look at www.renfe.es
Where is the flower show?
If it is a distance away from the railway station then take a taxi.
When planning do not forget to allow time to get off the ship.
Personally I feel it will not be doable.

"Where is the flower show?"

Everywhere. The whole town becomes a flower shows - streets, public gardens, monuments, private patios, etc....

So I wonder why the op asked <i>In Girona is there transportation to the flower show from the train station?</i>
So it is just a case of stepping out of the train station at Girona.

I have no idea. They haven't changed the rules since last year.
