Barcelona is known for its art and architecture, but the Formula 1 drivers looking to create masterpieces of their own at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.

Barcelona is a city like no other. Tourists flood to the Catalan capital in increasing numbers each year, drawn by the beach, the stunning architecture of Antoni Gaudi and some of the world's best restaurants.

It is also one of the most important cities globally when it comes to sport. The football team has arguably become more famous even than the city, but Barcelona is also one of the motorsport capitals of the world.

Taking place before the arrival of what can be unbearable summer heat, the Spanish Grand Prix enjoys May temperatures around a pleasant 26°C. Most visitors opt to combine a race weekend with a longer stay in the city - and why wouldn't they? From seeking out Gaudí’s stunning buildings, to relaxing on one of the many beaches, there's something for everyone.

Formula 1's two Spaniards, Fernando Alonso (Aston Martin) and Carlos Sainz (Ferrari), will draw the home crowds and create a buzz for the homecoming heroes. Both will be hoping to produce faultless performances in front of an adoring home crowd with the Spanish Grand Prix returns in 2024.
