Nou Camp - "Mes Que Un Club" - "More than a Club" 27.5.13
Having realised that we couldn't possibly walk to all the places we wanted to see, I remembered a 365er tip and bought tickets for the bus tour. We hopped on and off as we pleased, and arrived at the Nou Camp Stadium - apparently the biggest football stadium in Europe with 100,000 capacity, and home to mighty Barcelona FC, What a place!! It was George's choice to go, but we all loved it and recommend it to anyone with any interest in football at all!
The pitch was played on the night before, but was repaired and being watered while we were there... such green it looked like a carpet. FC Barcelona pennants and shirts were all over the city, balconies, etc.. pride in the local team is strong and probably easy when it does so well!
Thank you thank you for your comments and views on my shots from Barcelona - we feel a little rested now after doing precious little today but lots of lovely 365ing!! :)
Nice shot, Phil! I've never seen Barca's stadium empty before! It's always been filled to capacity! Love this! I imagine this is what I'd be like at Anfield. Great job capturing the size of only half of the pitch! You can tell how massive it is by this one portion.
You have chosen a fabulous viewpoint what stunning shot
