my questions is about the connetion between the local train from barcelona sants to la tour de carol with the litlle yellow train from la tour de carol to villefranche de conflent.
timetables tell me this: local train departure barcelona sants 0622 arr latour de carol 0934
yellow train departure latour de carol at 0920 arr villefranche de conflent at 1214
next train from latour de carol to villefranche leaves at 1517.
this means a waiting time of 6 hours ( aprox) is there a better option ?
if possible i want to make this day trip: from barcelona-to latour de carol to villefranche- and return the same day to barcelona
tnx for helping out

Hi.
On 31.07.2012 there is no better option.
Barcelona dep: 0622 / Latour arr: 0934
Barcelona dep: 0933 / Latour arr: 1230
Latour dep: 0826 / Villefranche arr: 1150
Latour dep: 1246 / Villefranche arr: 1610
Latour dep: 1456 / Villefranche arr: 1820
So the best connection would be:
[b]Barcelona dep: 0933[/b]
Latour de Carol arr: 1230
Latour de Carol dep: 1246
[b]Villefranche arr: 1610[/b]

Hi,
just check the link above for the Rodalies timetable (RENFE suburban trains of Barcelona) to check the timings to Latour de Carol.
Here is the link for Latour de Carol - Perpignan: [u]http://telechargement.ter-sncf.com/Images/Languedoc_Roussillon/Tridion/06_PerpignanLatour-2012_tcm-22-77757.pdf[/u]
Unfortunately connections are really bad at the time, the only sensible connection is:
Barcelona Sants 0933 - 1230 Latour de Carol
Latour de Carol 1246 - 1610 Villefranche
Villefranche 1742 - 1831 Perpignan
In Villefranche you have enough time for a short visit of the fortified city.
