## History

The airport was originally set up in 1931.  At first it was only a small building. The first terminal, now known as Terminal 2, was built in 1952. Air traffic increased. It was designed by Madrid-based architect Antonio Lamela. Because of this the airport was again expanded in 1971.  Terminal 1 was made.  It was meant for international traffic. In 1997, Terminal 3, then known as _Terminal Norte_ opened.  It was mainly for the Air Shuttle service between Madrid and Barcelona. Terminal 4 was opened, together with its satellite terminal, in February 2006.

## Terminals

The airport has four terminal buildings and a satellite terminal: T1, T2, T3, T4 and T4S.
The three first are connected. T4 can be reached with a free shuttle bus. The satellite terminal is reachable from the T4 by an underground automatic train.
