The Barcelona Marathon is one of the most popular marathons in Europe due to its beautiful course through the city. The start and finish location are located on the beautiful Plaça d'Espanya square. Along the way there are numerous sights that the runners pass, such as the Sagrada Familia and the Camp Nou. Because of the time of year and the early start time there are often excellent conditions during the run! After a hilly run the route is further flat. A great opportunity to discover Barcelona in a sportive way.

  • About Barcelona

    One of the most popular destinations for city trips is the Spanish city of Barcelona. And that is quite obvious! Situated on the Costa Brava, Barcelona is a versatile city that will not bore you for even a moment. Lively streets and squares, such as Las Ramblas, are filled with peaceful parks and long boulevards. The architecture in the city has a unique flair, partly inspired by Antoní Gaudi, the designer and mastermind behind some of the city's most impressive sights. Consider visiting the Sagrada Familia, Park Güell and Casa Vicens, for example. A tour of the football stronghold Camp Nou is also a must on a trip to Barcelona. Enjoy the diversity of lively Barcelona!
