The Tour de France 2009 July 3, 2009

Get on your bike! The legendary Tour de France 2009 will start on July 4th! In these stages it will pass by famous cities such as Barcelona and Paris of course for the final. The riders of this new edition will travel 3500 km, which starts on Saturday July 4th in Monaco and the arrival in Paris on 26th July. These are the tour de france 2009 dates.

You do not need to be a cycling fan to appreciate the Tour de France. This world-renowned sports event is a popular festival for both young and old. One of the most successful parts is when the long procession of the caravans of sponsors parades before the group of cyclists. All the big names parade on decorated floats with animated sounds and stop to distribute goodies, samples, all sorts of gifts that kids and adults love to collect.

This year the Tour de France passes through Barcelona and will be the first of the Mountain stages. The Tour is the perfect opportunity to visit cities such as Barcelona. While waiting for the floats and cyclists to ride through, you can take your children for a walk to the Aquarium to see the sharks or for night owls a visit to the MACBA, a contemporary art museum open until midnight on Thursday and Friday. Finally, you can appreciate the typical places of the city like the Park Güell, Museo Picasso, or go to the Montjuïc Park to enjoy a wonderful view of Barcelona.
