I'm considering taking a train from France to Barcelona Sants Estacion and then an international bus to Andorra. I have not found any maps or diagrams of the Barcelona Sants train station that show where international long distance buses might stop. I can find local city buses on some maps but not the ones I need. The andorradirectbus.es website posts a phone number but no email contact address, and my Spanish is woefully inadequate to telephone them and ask for directions. The Spanish website for the bus company does not provide information on where to catch the bus at or near Sants station, other than saying that the bus does indeed stop there on its way from the Barcelona airport to Andorra or vice versa. Does anyone happen to know where I'd go, upon arriving at Sants Estacion, to find long distance buses? Thx. Tom

It is humanely impossible to drive even a sports cars in 30 min between Barcelona and Andorra.

How about a mis-read and it's three hours? Still seems fast for a bus.

Ed is correct. This website (link below) clearly says the trip takes 3 hours: El servicio es directo, sin paradas, con una duración aproximada de 3 horas entre Andorra y Barcelona... (Translation: The service is direct, non-stop, with a duration of approximately 3 hours between Andorra and Barcelona...) http://www.andorradirectbus.es/ Tip: Use Google Translate to understand the rest of the text.
