travel europe spain barcelona 1992 olympic venues
We took an afternoon to visit the site of the 1992 Olympics at Monjuic, a hill overlooking Barcelona.
The boys and I went swimming at the Piscines Bernat Picornell, the Olympic swim venue.
As you can tell by some of the photos, the haze over Barcelona was quite evident.
