Surely the great weather has something to do with it too, as well as the natural spaces like the beaches 0️⃣ and mountains, and the wealth of associations it has. The fact is that Barcelona has always been linked to sport. 0️⃣ There are hundred-year-old tennis, swimming, sailing and rambling clubs, and the 1992 Olympic Games was a major boost. The possibilities 0️⃣ are endless: from walks in the woods of the Collserola mountain range, to running circuits that test your athletic prowess. 0️⃣ In fact, there are even routes that let you get to know the city's old quarter while you run. And 0️⃣ Barcelona certainly runs. It is a city known for its fun runs, like the Cursa de Bombers (firemen), the Cursa 0️⃣ de la Dona (women), the Cursa de la Mercè (festival) and the Cursa dels Nassos (noses). It swims too. Barcelona's 0️⃣ beaches are open all year round, and every neighbourhood has a swimming pool where you can do a few lengths 0️⃣ under a roof. If you prefer to get to know the city from the sea, and go a little further, 0️⃣ there are sailing, canoeing and kayaking courses. Skateboard lovers will find truly excellent skateparks and tracks where they can do 0️⃣ this ultimate urban sport. And, of course, there is also the option of getting around the city in a healthy 0️⃣ way, because Barcelona has a network of almost 200 km of bike lanes.
And that's not all. You can also enjoy 0️⃣ sport in the city from the stands, at the many sports facilities in Barcelona used by its many sporting associations. 0️⃣ You can even enjoy sport from a comfy cinema seat because every year the city holds BCN Sports Film, an 0️⃣ international film festival dedicated to the world of sport.
