The experience

“You’re not in a rush, right?” That’s how our driver greeted us at the Barcelona cruise port. I think he could tell we were still half-asleep after disembarking. The air smelled like sea salt and diesel, and I was honestly relieved just to see someone holding my name on a sign. We piled into the van (there were five of us, plus my nephew’s stroller) and I remember the seats felt cool compared to the sticky morning outside. He asked if we wanted music or quiet. We went for quiet at first, but that didn’t last long.

I didn’t expect the drive from Barcelona port to the airport would be so… chatty? Our driver (Jordi) started pointing out weird little things as we passed: like why there are so many palm trees near Montjuïc (“not native!” he said, laughing), or which bakery has the best ensaimadas if you ever come back. My mom tried her rusty Spanish and Jordi switched between English and Catalan without missing a beat. There was this moment when he paused at a red light and told us about his favorite football match at Camp Nou. You could hear how much he loved this city.

The whole private transfer felt more relaxed than I expected. No meter ticking up, no worrying about getting lost or haggling over bags (we had way too many). He even had a baby seat ready for us. I’d forgotten to double-check but apparently that’s just included if you ask. I still think about how easy it was compared to dragging luggage through taxis or buses. And yeah, there was traffic near Plaça d’Espanya but nobody seemed stressed. Jordi just shrugged and told us about a shortcut he sometimes takes when Barça is playing.
