How do crosswinds affect runway selection at Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport?

Aircraft land and depart into the wind. Headwind is the part of the wind along the runway heading. Crosswind is the part blowing across the pavement. A negative headwind is a tailwind. At Josep Tarradellas Barcelona-El Prat Airport (BCN/LEBL) the live call is landing and departure 24R+24L with METAR wind 300° @ 5 kt. 24R shows 2.9 kt headwind, 0.0 kt tailwind, and 4.0 kt crosswind from the right. Controllers switch runways when the opposite threshold offers more headwind, or when the crosswind on the runway in use climbs. The component table lists every LEBL threshold so you can see which end holds the headwind and which end is taking the tailwind.
