This gigantic stadium is the largest soccer stadium in Europe, with a seating capacity of 100,000
Wonderful experience.You get to see the team museum, trophy room and history stuff from old t-shirts to a 1901 trophy.The tour covers also the locker rooms and a visit to the press room.You also get the opportunity to see the stadium from inside the VIP panoramic seets which is quite spectacular.

Absolutely sublime stadium beautiful all the made for the better for me as we had a owners box which was awesome, full fridge stocked with beers and soft drinks, plenty if bottles of wine and various tapas brought to us during the game, the room had seating outside in a private area for 12. Shame the home there was not many home fans but what a quality stadium

After taking the Montjuïc Funicular up to the hilltop, I made my way toward the piece de resistance, the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium from the 1992 Olympic Games in Barcelona. HOLY MOLY! This was so high on my to do list when visiting Barcelona, you can't even imagine. Although it's a popular spot to visit, for me especially being as Olympic-obsessed as I am, it was pure gold (see what I did there?). The Barcelona Olympics were one of the few in Olympics history that didn't financially debilitate the city hosting the games. Barcelona was smart. They invested money in the infrastructure they already had instead of simply building from the ground up. This resulted in a more modern Barcelona for its citizens and not just a fancy setting for an Olympic Games. Admission is free, and I had read on TripAdvisor that you could pay a couple Euros and actually run the track, but don't believe this is the norm, as I didn't see anyone around who actually worked for the stadium. It was just open to walk around a certain limited area. There was more to the Olympic Park than just the stadium, so I explored a bit of that as well. The Palau Sant Jordi is a sporting and concert arena which during the '92 Olympics hosted the men's and women's gymnastics competitions, the men's and women's handball finals, the men's volleyball quarter- and semi-finals and finals and the women's volleyball semi-finals and finals. Here we also find the Torre Calatrava, or Montjuïc Communications Tower, which was built to transmit television coverage of the Olympic Games. This is definitely worth a stop for anyone who loves the Olympics!

I attended Shakira's El Dorado World Tour at the Palau Sant Jordi, and as we ahd travelled from Scotland I was unsure what to expect. I know from personal experience at concerts at home that the venue can often get too hot when it is full of people, but I was pleasantly surprised at how cool the arena stayed all night. There aren't any metro stations nearby that I know of, but it is around a kilometer walk from Placa d'Espanya if you're fit enough to do so. Staff were also very helpful when looking to buy merchandise. I would definitely attend a concert here again!
