On March 26, Can Ginestar in Sant Just Desvern was illuminated in yellow to symbolize the start of the countdown to the 2026 Tour de France, an event poised to boost sustainable tourism in the region.

This action is part of a joint initiative involving emblematic buildings in over fifty municipalities, highlighting the commitment of the Catalan territory to hosting this prestigious cycling event.
The 2026 Tour de France will commence on July 4 in Barcelona, and the following day, July 5, it will pass through Sant Just Desvern as part of its route through the Collserola area. This presents a unique opportunity to position Catalonia on the international map of sports and tourism.
To date, only three editions of the Tour have taken place in Catalonia, with the last one being in 2009. The 2026 edition not only marks the return of the competition to the region but also an occasion to highlight the Barcelona counties as a prominent destination for sustainable tourism and quality of life.
The Grand Départ has the potential to generate a significant positive impact in areas with high tourism potential, contributing to deseasonalization and promoting Barcelona as a leading hub in the sports sector.
