Summary[edit]

Description
English: The Costa Daurada in Spain lies between Barcelona and Tarragona. This picture is looking South and the towns along the coastline (from near to far) are Sitges, Vilanova y La Geltru, Cubelles and Calafell. Up near the horizon is Tarragona (indistinct).

Coming back to Sitges, the almost-circular town inland is Sant Pere de Ribes.

Between the two you can see the old "Terramar" oval motor racing circuit which is Europe’s second oldest racing circuit. It's 2 Km long and has banking of up to 60 degrees.

Due to financial difficulties it has been disused since the 1950's but as recently as 2012 famous rally driver Carlos Sainz took to the old circuit in an Audi R8, and broke the 80 year old lap record (Which is hardly surprising as it had stood unchallenged for about 80 years!)

La Costa Daurada en España se encuentra entre Barcelona y Tarragona. Esta imagen está mirando al sur y las ciudades a lo largo de la costa (de cerca a lejos) son Sitges, Vilanova y La Geltru, Cubelles y Calafell. Cerca del horizonte está Tarragona (indistinta).

Volviendo a Sitges, la ciudad casi circular hacia el interior es Sant Pere de Ribes.

Entre los dos se puede ver el viejo circuito de carreras ovaladas "Terramar" que es el segundo circuito de carreras más antiguo de Europa. Tiene 2 km de largo y tiene una capacidad de hasta 60 grados.

Debido a dificultades financieras, ha estado en desuso desde la década de 1950, pero tan recientemente como el famoso piloto de rallyes de 2012 Carlos Sainz tomó el viejo circuito en un Audi R8 y rompió el récord de 80 años (lo cual no es sorprendente ya que no había sido cuestionado ¡alrededor de 80 años!)
