1 hr from espanya to whichever station at the bottom. at Espanya, look for pink L8 once there look for R5. There is someone (kiosk) who will help you decide on ticket and someone else to help you buy it from machine. they have different prices for extra stuff, audio, lunch etc. but 15 euros round trip for basic.
