Once in Barcelona you should buy a public transport ticket for sale at metro, interurban bus and rail stations, newsagents kiosks, lottery shops and Servicaixa.
If you are going to be using public transport a lot then you may want to consider the T-Dia which costs €5.90 per person for a days unlimited public transport; metro, bus FGC and Renfe train within Zone 1 (which includes the airport). It is non transferable.
If there are a few of you and you are going to be walking a lot, only using public transport to get back to your starting point, you might want to opt for the T-10 to share between you. It costs €7.85 and literally covers 10 journeys using all public transport within Zone 1 (which includes the airport). You are able to use different modes of transport within the same journey. You just valid your ticket each time you change over and as long as you are within a time limit of 1 hr 15 min's between the first and last validation, and you are not “returning”, it will only count as one journey. The beauty of the T-10 is also that it is transferable, so if there are two or more of you using the same T-10 you just hand it back to the next person for them to validate another journey.
