The Plaza de la Corona in Granollers was the scene this morning of a historic sporting milestone with the start of the third stage of the Tour de France, which attracted hundreds of spectators.

The day was marked by high temperatures that conditioned the fans' wait. Shaded areas became the most sought-after spots by the public, while areas exposed to the sun remained empty during the hours leading up to the arrival of the peloton.
The festive atmosphere brought together citizens of all ages, including summer camp groups and families who did not want to miss the opportunity to witness the event. The presence of volunteers was key to managing the flow of people and ensuring the smooth operation of logistics on a morning marked by intense heat.
The moment of greatest anticipation occurred with the passage of the official car and the subsequent arrival of the cyclists. Although the group's passage was brief, attendees celebrated the leaders of the race passing through the capital of the Vallès Oriental with applause and photographs.
