Where to stay at the Spanish F1 Grand Prix

The Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya is located conveniently between the two airports of Barcelona El Prat and Girona to the north. It is worth checking flights to both when you book!

Opting to stay in the historic city of Girona (famous for Game of Thrones being filmed there) will likely offer cheaper accommodation than the ever-increasing prices of Barcelona.
