A few more words

Alright! A half in a single loop 🔂 is a nice challenge, isn't it? Let's go! 😉

You start on the Rambla d'Ègara to the north ⬆️ of the city to reach the Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia! Once there, you continue along the Riera Del Palau 💧 for a bit of coolness. Head onto the Avenue of Abat Marcet. Here you'll enjoy yourself: this is where you encounter the slight downhill slope... 😛 But be careful to save some energy for the rest of the race! ⚠️ Oh yes, the race doesn't end here my little one. Once at the end of the avenue, follow the water course of the Riera de les Arenes, cross the Vallparadis Park 🌳 heading back up to the Placeta de la Creu ⛲️ to return safely. And there you have it, mission accomplished 🤪.
