Barcelona, where business meets the Mediterranean
El Prat is one of Spain's busiest airports for international traffic, thanks to a mix of tourism, cruise ship stopovers at the port, and the pull of the Mobile World Congress and the wider tech scene. That mix shows up in the currency our customers need: business travellers picking up pounds or dollars for a short-haul flight, alongside holidaymakers changing money before heading off to explore the Gothic Quarter or Passeig de Gràcia. For plenty of Latin American travellers, Barcelona is also their first stop in Europe, which is why we see such a steady flow of Mexican and Colombian pesos through our branches here.
