Madrid to Barcelona as a dedicated service
The road distance between Madrid and Barcelona is about 620 km, about 6 hours of direct driving. In a dedicated transport the vehicle works only for your shipment: it collects, drives straight to the destination and delivers, with direct contact with the driver throughout the journey.
We are based in Caldes de Montbui (Barcelona) and cover mainland Spain. For collections outside Catalonia we check which vehicle is closest to the loading point so the service can leave as soon as possible.
Collection in Madrid, delivery in Barcelona
The route follows the A-2 through Lleida, Zaragoza and Guadalajara and enters Madrid from the east. In Madrid we collect from the Corredor del Henares (Coslada, San Fernando de Henares, Alcalá de Henares), Getafe, Fuenlabrada, Villaverde and the Mercamadrid area. In Barcelona we deliver to the Zona Franca, Poblenou and the 22@ district, the Baix Llobregat, the port and the Vallès industrial estates (Caldes de Montbui, Granollers, Sabadell, Terrassa), and to venues such as Fira de Barcelona (Gran Via and Montjuïc) and the CCIB.
What usually moves between Madrid and Barcelona
It is common to carry film and TV production equipment, corporate event material, trade fair goods and commercial and distribution freight; and in the other direction, audiovisual equipment, event and trade fair material, and spare parts from Vallès industry. If your cargo is different, send us the dimensions and weight and we will confirm the vehicle.
