I brought a two-day bus and Subway ticket for Barcelona and I must say it's brilliant value for money!

I ran into a slight snag, I was at Barceloneta metro station trying to get to Pl Catalunya which an app told me that I needed L5 to Urquinaona...

Then L1 to Pl Catalunya.

Arrived at Urquinaona OK, but could not find a Red train L1 to Pl Catalunya.

Not a problem, as it's a short walk from Urquinaona to Pl Catalunya.

However, I'm there's something obvious I'm missing, and that is how to identify the correct train.

I'm very familiar with the London underground, the carriage hand rails are colour coded. I assume the Barcelona Metro has a similar system, but I'm missing it.

Any pointers as to what I'm missing would be most helpful!

Keep turning left, that will always get you out of the Maze :)


Does this help https://www.mapametrobarcelona.com/en-line-1-metro-barcelona.php ?
Thanks for your reply Minty.

I spoke with a chap at the tourist information desk in pl Catalunya. He said that the change at Urquinaona station was awkward, the red sign not obvious, and he mentioned a partially hidden exit that's easy to miss.

I'm going to try again at the main pl Catalunya station, I'll practice a few short journeys when I'm relaxed!
