Beautiful run, and wonderful day. Congratulations for that app, and the idea. If there was another language, it would be a full success. Congratulations.

Like all urbirun routes, you can start wherever you like. Pay attention to the direction of the tour.
In 1992, Barcelona, for long an avant-garde city celebrates again its revival by hosting the first Olympic Games without any boycott for 20 years. This event was a turning point in the history of the city, and has modernized numerous infrastructure of this industrial town, to open it more and more to the world. Always modern and avant-garde Barcelona took advantage of the dynamism of the Olympic Games to revitalize its neglected waterfront, and seduce the world. Climb the hill of Montjuic to the Olympic venues, enjoy stunning views of the sea and the city, then follow the beaches to the district of Poblenou, mix of small town and flourishing modernity. Dare the longest route, you will not regret it...
*alternative routes : you can stop your run at different places along the route, close to underground stations : 7.5, 8.7, or 13.1km + possibility to shorten (2.2km less) the 2 longest routes of 15.3 and 13.1km.
NB : if unsure, check your position on the map
