Barcelona's Olympic Stadium

Barcelona built this stadium in 1929 to host the Olympics but lost the bid. In 1992 they got their chance to host. Mordu says that's the first Olympics he remembers. It's not clear how much use it's getting now, but they did tell us it is occasionally used for rock concerts in addition to sporting events.

One of my more dignified poses.

55,000 seats!


 I should have taken a better close-up of the horses leaping off the roof here.

 Plaza is very space-age.

 Complete with this obviously alien structure.

 Olympic torch.
