Strategic geographical situation
Mercabarna benefits from Barcelona’s privileged historical and geographical position as the capital of Catalonia, as a large European conurbation, and from its importance as a trading city and tourist destination.
Furthermore, from a logistical point of view, Mercabarna is located in a strategic position which facilitates the arrival and dispatch of goods by land, sea and air. It is but a few kilometres from Barcelona international airport, the Port of Barcelona container base, the TIR terminal, the rail freight terminal, the Llobregat road interchange which provides direct access to the urban ring road and external highway system, and it is only ten kilometres from the city centre.
This strategic geographical situation is one of the factors that have made Mercabarna one of the main centres in Europe for the distribution of fresh produce.
