Barcelona Grand Prix

Sunday December 6 2026

The Spanish Grand Prix is held at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, a purpose-built track on the outskirts of the city. The circuit has good facilities and a range of grandstand options, with clear views of the track from most vantage points.<br>Barcelona itself is one of the more well-known cities on the Formula 1 calendar, with a strong food scene, architecture and a coastline within easy reach. It works well as a destination for anyone travelling with people who are less interested in the racing, as there is plenty to do in the city beyond the race weekend. May in Barcelona is typically warm and dry, which makes it a reliable choice for a trip.
