On June 19, Barcelona will host an event that is stirring up the city. It is about the Formula 1 exhibition in Passeig de Gràcia the city will close the entire city center to cars next week… to allow other cars to circulate.
This F1 Live Barcelona Road Show will allow to see the single-seaters circulating in the middle of the city, in an event that the city council celebrates but that many sectors of the city’s neighbors criticize for being a polluting and unnecessary event that can help to accentuate the tourist overcrowding that the city is experiencing.
Now, the consistory has published the traffic restrictions that will affect the city center, which will see how, on June 19, the circulation will be affected to private vehicles and pedestrians. Here are the details of all the effects of that day so you don’t have any problems when moving around the city.
