Hey, have you heard the latest about a huge project they will be building in southern Catalunya come September, 2013?

It's called BCNWorld http://www.bcnworld.com/en/bcnworld/localizacion/.

I imagine some people in Salou, La Pineda, Vila-seca, Tarragona, Cambrils and even Barcelona are happy to hear about it. It's Eurovegas' alter ego and it's supposed to help generate a lot of jobs and bring in tourists, and stimulate the economy, etc. Who knows?

I cycle around there pretty often and it's a lot different than when I started cycling there just a few years ago. It used to be like you were on a mountain bike trail. Now check below how it's changed. You can see some of the terrain where BCNWorld will be on the right-hand side of the picture.

I guess gamblers will be happy and tourists who want something to do or somewhere to go after going to the beach.

They've even made this special bridge for cyclists (It's not open yet- looks pretty steep going up! (gulp...). It goes from Vila-Seca to connect with the biking lane you see in the first picture that takes you to the beach. Anyway, it seems this is all infrastructure for (you guessed it) BCNWorld!

Hope it's good for people or something...
