The city of Tarragona experienced a historic day this Sunday with the start of the second stage of the Tour de France, which attracted more than 60,000 spectators to the streets.

A festive atmosphere marked the day from early morning, with a large presence of residents, cycling fans, and tourists who wanted to experience the competition up close. Key locations, such as Parc del Francolí and Torre dels Vents, were the areas with the highest concentration of the public.
Despite the high temperatures, attendees enthusiastically followed the team presentations and the passage of the advertising caravan. Activity spread from plaça de les Corts Catalanes to the exit towards the N-340, in a route that mobilized numerous volunteers and logistics services.
The local restaurant sector noted a significant increase in activity throughout the day, adapting their outdoor spaces to serve the high influx of visitors. The day concluded with the neutralized route of nearly six kilometers that officially kicked off the stage.
