The Circuit de Catalunya aka Circuit de Barcelona is a racetrack in Montmeló, to the north of Barcelona, Catalonia. It is home to the Formula One Spanish Grand Prix and the motorcycle Catalonia Grand Prix. With long straights and a variety of corners, the Circuit de Catalunya is seen as an all-rounder circuit. As such it is probably one of the sport's most important testing grounds. Conversely, during actual racing, it has received criticism for being uneventful, with most races being a procession. Yet the Spanish Grand Prix remains a staple feature of the F1 season.

Every Easter, the museum is the venue for the annual mona competition. Monas, a Catalan invention, are elaborate chocolate sculptures, often of famous buildings, people, or cartoon characters. Chocolate makers display them in their windows during Easter week and try to outdo each other with sheer creativity and inventiveness.

The Catalan History Museum is located in the Palau del Mar, a huge warehouse dating from the late 19th century. Many similar buildings stood alongside it before this flank of the port was redeveloped for the 1992 Olympic Games, creating the marina and recreational area that now surrounds it.The museum, divided into eight sections, aims to provide a stroll through history, and that pretty much sums up what it does. It's a sometimes exhausting, highly didactic tour of the country. "Roots," "Birth of a Nation," and "Our Sea" look at Catalonia's ancient ancestors, the flourishing Romanesque period, and the Catalan-Aragonese sea trade. "On the Periphery of an Empire," "Bases of the Revolution," and "Steam and Nation" study Catalonia's decline under the Hapsburg rule and subsequent economic ...

Barcelona celebrates its exciting history through a number of museums.

However, the Museum itself only dates to 1999. At that time the Barcelona City Council decided to reorganize the museums and the collections specific to the city. The result was a concentration of Barcelona’s history in the venues that would make the “best cultural use” of the city’s heritage. The City History Museum is charged with research, dissemination, and convservati...
