Traffic in Barcelona is very dense, so it is difficult to park in the street. Parking places are expensive and most central locations are reserved for residents of the Area Verde (Green Zone Residents Area) This are exclusively reserved for residents 8am to 8pm (and sometimes 24 hours) Monday through Friday, and the ones that says "Àrea preferent" it accept all vehicles. Non-residents will pay higher prices and parking will be limited to 1 or 2 hours, from 8 to 8pm, Monday to Friday.
The blue squares "Àrea Blaves” are accessible to all vehicles, but with time restrictions (2, 3 or 4 hours) from 8am to 8pm, Monday to Friday. The rates of the green zone ranged between 1.08 euro and 2.94 euros per hour, depending on the area (A, B, C or D). From 8am to 8pm and at the end of the week, the Green Zone is free and open to all vehicles. You should be aware of the parking signs... As well as the tow truck!! That is on the lookout.
