The first Barcelona Marathon took place in 1978. These first marathons, however, were not pure city courses, but they started in the coastal village of Mataró. In 2016, more than 16,000 people reached the goal.
I found this short video someone made of last year's marathon.
You must pass by at least three Barcelona landmarks to reach the finish line.
Duration: March 1 - 31, 2018
Books must be at least 200 pages.
Rereads are okay.
mc = main character
