Sports Hotel Gaudí

The home of FC Barcelona, Camp Nou, raises passions like no other place in Barcelona; the city bursts into crazy celebrations with the victories of one of the world’s very best football teams. As well as having Messi and an outstanding team, FC Barcelona has about 156,000 members and, along with Real Madrid and Athletic Bilbao, has never been relegated to the second division in one of the world’s most respected leagues. Yet it’s not the only team in Barcelona, RCD Espanyol is a competitive side which, although a smaller club, resides in the hearts of many locals. But Barcelona does not just revolve around football; Montjuïc was the venue for the 1992 Olympic Games. Commanding wonderful views of the sea and the city, the Anella Olimpica (Olympic Ring) is a sports complex located on the mountain of Montjuïc that hosted the Games (Olympic Stadium, the Palau Sant Jordi and the Bernat Picornell swimming pools).
