Barcelona, Spain -- Day 24

A late addition to the itinerary takes a small crew to Madrid (a 2012 bid city) but the majority of us make it to Barcelona...The Olympic Stadium is beautiful and smaller than I expected from memories of the Paraolympian who shot the flaming arrow into the stadium to ignite the cauldron in 1992...no such theatrics this year but a superbly sunny day in Spain...we circle the strange architecture of Sagrada Familia...and the streets of Las Ramblas...I had an opportunity to ride on one of the promo vehicles for a stretch. What an experience seeing all the spectators from that perspective...and the final runner into the city celebration with the crowds of children following behind...
