When I saw that the Olympic Stadium was on the bus route we were taking through Barcelona, I knew we had to make a stop. I have never attended an Olympic event and probably never will, but I still remember watching the Barcelona Olympics on television in 1992. Seeing the stadium in person brought back those memories and gave me a chance to experience a small piece of Olympic history for myself.
Visiting the Olympic Stadium reminded me a little of seeing the Leaning Tower of Pisa. It wasn’t necessarily at the top of my bucket list, but when you are already nearby, some landmarks are simply worth taking the time to see. The history and significance make them special.
