There is only one airport with 'Barcelona' in the title, but that doesn't stop airlines such as Ryanair saying they fly to two airlines in the city. Find out more here about Barcelona's airports.
There are two more major airports in the region of Catalonia - Reus (REU) and Girona-Costa Brava (GRO). Both of them are approximately 100km from Barcelona. It is not normal to refer to these airports as 'Barcelona' airports, though some airlines still do.
Sabadell airport is Catalonia's fourth airport, but it is mainly used for training purposes.

Which Airport Near Barcelona Should I Fly to?
All three airports are well connected to Barcelona and other cities in Catalonia. However, in some circumstances one of these airports will be more appropriate for you:- For a Long Weekend in Barcelona Fly to the main Barcelona airport. You'll lose too much of your time transferring from the other airports to the city.
- To Reach the Pyrenees Fly to Girona. Girona is also a reasonably nice city in itself and is close to Figueres, where the must-see Salvador Dali museum is.
- For a Beach Vacation Reus airport is closer to the better beaches of Catalonia. Nearby Tarragona is also a pleasant city that is worth at least a day's visit.
However, price will usually be your biggest deciding factor. To find the cheapest flight to one of these airports, try this link:
Compare Prices on Flights to Barcelona (remember to tick 'include nearby airports')
In light of Ryanair's decision to cancel tickets bought from third party websites, you can no longer search Ryanair flights through this price comparison site. To compare Ryanair prices with other airlines, search using the above site and then do a separate search on Ryanair.com. However, be sure to go all the way to the point of purchase as the first price you see is nowhere near the full amount you will pay.
