DESTINATION GUIDE: What fans can eat, see and do when they visit Barcelona for the Spanish Grand Prix

If race tracks issued loyalty cards for number of visits by Formula 1, then the teams’ cards would surely be full of Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya’s stamps, as along with hosting the Spanish Grand Prix more than 30 times it has been the venue of choice for conducting pre-season testing many times over the years.

A favourite with the F1 fraternity due to its close proximity to the vibrant city of Barcelona with its heady mix of good weather, beaches, Catalan culture and gothic architecture, it is also unsurprisingly a popular destination with F1 fans looking to turn their trip to the Grand Prix into an extended Spanish holiday.
