Barcelona streets closed to traffic with metal barriers for the cycling race.

The city of Barcelona has launched a comprehensive mobility and security operation for the Tour de France time trial, which requires the closure of several streets in the city center.

The race route, covering a total of 19.6 kilometers, has caused operational disruptions to urban traffic, particularly around Aragó and Mallorca streets. These restrictions were implemented to ensure the passage of cyclists and the safety of spectators.
Along the route, a team of civic agents and volunteers has been deployed to manage pedestrian flow and inform citizens about alternative routes. At landmarks such as the Sagrada Família, a large number of tourists and fans gathered hours before the start of the competition.
Despite the mobility disruptions, the atmosphere among the followers present along the route has been one of understanding, acknowledging the significance of the sporting event for the city.
