Since it is a weekend the AVE trains are pretty pricey for the good times. Since I am staying near the airport Thursday night anyway, I am thinking about taking an Iberia flight. Cheaper and less distance to travel on Friday morning. Yeah, I know I need to get to/from BCN, but it looks like I can just take the rail from BCN to very close to my would be hotel in Barcelona.
