Jogging all around Barcelona is not the first thing we want to do when visiting Barcelona. But the City Council makes it easy if you are interested in doing so, there are 23 routes to discover Barcelona while running. In ATIPIKA we help you to find your ideal property, but we want to make you enjoy your house’s privileged environment as well.
‘Barcelona corre’ app, for Apple devices, offers you 23 routes in the city. They are divided into three categories: routes by district, thematic routes and routes with a challenge. What’s more, each of them gives you relevant information such as distance, type of ground and its inclination.
Thematic routes include ‘Les Corts, tan verde como azulgrana’ where you will find FC Barcelona’s football stadium ‘Camp Nou’, green areas such as ‘Jardins de la Maternitat’ and, close to it, ‘Parc de Pedralbes’.
There are some properties available in ‘Pedralbes’ such as this luxurious house, and a wide offer of premises and offices in Barcelona’s business area for those who would like to exercise on the way to work.
This app also helps us to keep up to date with the most popular races in the capital. Did you know that it awards you with a digital medal for each completed route? How many will you get?
Both for the inhabitants of the city and for those who are just visiting, these routes are a great opportunity to energize body and mind. Running is a very popular activity that has many benefits for your health.
Exercising regularly decreases the risk of suffering serious diseases – it lowers cholesterol, helps you to avoid weigh gain, blood sugar and blood pressure problems. It also improves our immune system and our physical ability, making us feel better each day.
Your body and mind will thank you if you take up running as a hobby/regular activity – you will release endorphins, which will help you with anxiety and stress problems. It will also make you sleep better at night and will boost your self-esteem and mood. There’s no downside to it!
Another option that may interest you is to join a community of runners so you can all meet to run or to participate in races and competitions. There are many open and private communities that offer discounts for joining or special prices.
