Finishes: Colors & Stains
Surely the great weather has something to do with it too, as well as the natural spaces like the beaches 😄 and mountains, and the wealth of associations it has. The fact is that Barcelona has always been linked to sport. 😄 There are hundred-year-old tennis, swimming, sailing and rambling clubs, and the 1992 Olympic Games was a major boost. The possibilities 😄 are endless: from walks in the woods of the Collserola mountain range, to running circuits that test your athletic prowess. 😄 In fact, there are even routes that let you get to know the city's old quarter while you run. And 😄 Barcelona certainly runs. It is a city known for its fun runs, like the Cursa de Bombers (firemen), the Cursa 😄 de la Dona (women), the Cursa de la Mercè (festival) and the Cursa dels Nassos (noses). It swims too. Barcelona's 😄 beaches are open all year round, and every neighbourhood has a swimming pool where you can do a few lengths 😄 under a roof. If you prefer to get to know the city from the sea, and go a little further, 😄 there are sailing, canoeing and kayaking courses. Skateboard lovers will find truly excellent skateparks and tracks where they can do 😄 this ultimate urban sport. And, of course, there is also the option of getting around the city in a healthy 😄 way, because Barcelona has a network of almost 200 km of bike lanes.
And that's not all. You can also enjoy 😄 sport in the city from the stands, at the many sports facilities in Barcelona used by its many sporting associations. 😄 You can even enjoy sport from a comfy cinema seat because every year the city holds BCN Sports Film, an 😄 international film festival dedicated to the world of sport.
