Terrassa? It's a charming little city 🥰 located next to the second-largest metropolis inSpain 🇪🇸.

A few more words

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

You start on the Rambla d'Ègara heading north ⬆️ of the city to reach the Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia! Once there you continue along the Riera Del Palau 💧 for some refreshment during the odyssey. Head onto the Avenue de l'Abat Marcet. Here you'll enjoy yourself: this is where you encounter the slight downhill... 😛 But be careful to keep some energy for the rest of the race! ⚠️ Oh yes, the race doesn't end there my friend. Once at the end of the avenue, follow the watercourse of the Riera de les Arenes, cross the Vallparadis Park 🌳 going up to the Placeta de la Creu ⛲️ to return safely. There you go, mission accomplished 🤪.
