I need an accurate translation for both terms. Almacen de deposito franco and Zona Franca. Since it is dealing with Barcelona I need to know the exact term used there.

Apart from that I would say "Barcelona" without the possesive apostrophy, this is perfect. Thanks.

Bonded warehouses (Barcelona tax-free/duty-free zone)


Explanation:
With regards to the second part (tax-free/duty-free zone), this is how we always used to refer to it when I worked in a multinational in conjunction with Barcelona airport from where a great deal of cargo was taken straight to the "Zona Franca".
