Better to arrive on time: the best places to follow the Tour in Catalonia

The Tour de France advertising caravan is a carousel of 180 vehicles with commercial brands of all types and colors that travel the entire 21 stages of the race at 30 km/h, throwing products and gifts to the public waiting for the cyclists' arrival. All the vehicles together occupy 12 km of route and a person in a fixed spot watches the show for 40 consecutive minutes. The caravan mobilizes 700 people who, on top of all sorts of brightly decorated vehicles, warm up the public who wish to be part of it. Barcelona will experience from Saturday the first passage of the caravan 90 minutes before the start of the team time trial, which is 19.6 km, starting at Parc del Fòrum and ending at Montjuïc. First opportunity for Slovenian Tadej Pogacar, four-time Tour winner, to wear the yellow leader's jersey. To see the cyclists in action through the city streets, you need to consider traffic closures and use the metro to reach the section you want to see. There will also be different giant screens along the route. At the Fan Park, on Passeig Lluís Companys, and also in Montjuïc, between the Olympic Stadium and the Gardens of Ramon Margalef López.
