T10 Transport Ticket
Interesting web ( in english ) which explains Barcelona metro underground system

I think the best solution for all participants in the Comenius is to buy
  • T10 ticket (Zone 1 ticket) which is a transport individual ticket.
  • T10 will give you 10 journeys on the metro, FGC (FGC run train lines similar to the metro around the city centre) buses, tram and RENFE all Zone 1 areas.
  • The main city central areas are all in Zone 1.

Some remarks of T10:

  • T10 is valid indefinitely within a calendary year
  • The T10 is valid on the RENFE train to the airport but not valid on the Aerobus
  • The T10 ticket can be used on more than one means of transport and all be counted as a single journey provided that your journey is less than 1 hour and 15 minutes.
  • If you want to use the metro you have to put the ticket into a ticket validation machine at the metro entrance. The machine checks the ticket and then marks it on the back with a printed day and time stamp.
  • You can buy a T10 from any metro stop and from the Airport at the entrance to the RENFE train .
