Sports and Other Activities
Barcelona is well placed for access to the sea and mountains, which is one of the reasons it was picked for the 1992 Olympics. A spin-off from the games was an increased provision of top-quality sports and leisure facilities throughout Catalunya. However, central Barcelona itself doesn't have too many sporting sites from which tourists will get much use. If you really want to swim or work out, you're better off using the region's natural resources: get out onto the beaches, north and south of the city or into the hills of the Catalan Pyrenees. If you want to check forthcoming sports events , buy one of the local daily sports papers, El Mundo Deportivo or Sport ; or phone Audiotex on 934 181 021, for recorded information in Spanish and Catalan on all current sporting events in Barcelona. For details about any sport not included here, call the Ajuntament information service on 934 023 000, or drop in to the office that deals with sport, at Avda de l'Estadi 30-40 (next to the Bernat Picornell swimming pool); Metro Espanya, or bus #61 or #20.
