There are a couple of options to get to and from the airport.

The L9 metro goes to the airport, but is not very convenient. You will need to make many transfers and unless you have a Hola BCN multiday card the cost (in 2019) is 4.6 Euro per person each way.

The last thing anyone expects on vacation is rain… To protect my camera (and hide if from pickpockets) I recommend a ‘dry bag’. This is usually used for people enjoying watersports (kayaking, boating, etc.) and available at most outdoor stores (as well as online retailers).
