Why Take A Camp Nou Barcelona Stadium Tour<\/h2>\n

\"CampA Bird’s Eye View Of Camp Nou<\/p>\n

You must be wondering \u201cWhy visit a football stadium?\u201d To answer this question, you must understand that football and FC Barcelona especially, are ingrained in the culture of Catalonia.<\/p>\n

Barcelona is located in Catalonia, the northeastern part of Spain. This area, in yesteryears, used to be an independent region, with its own laws, customs and even language. However, through wars, conquests and unification, this region came to be under Spanish Governance. Under General Franco\u2019s rule, the Catalans had greatly suffered. Their customs, traditions, festivals, history, language and culture had been suppressed and quashed by the Government. In essence, their identity was subdued. It was during these times that the people embraced FC Barcelona and considered this club as the sole carrier of their Catalan identity. Since then, FC Barcelona has been an integral part of Catalan life and will continue to be so for centuries to come.<\/p>\n

By visiting the Nou Camp, you are not just walking into a mere football stadium, you are stepping into and experiencing history.<\/p>\n

Leaving history aside, another reason to visit this stadium is the fact that it is the home ground of one of the most established clubs in world football. FC Barcelona has a rich history, having been at the summit of European football for years. Even today, they are one of the best clubs in the world in terms of the number of trophies they win and the players they attract. Just to give you an idea of what their trophy cabinet looks like – they have won 5 Champions Leagues, 3 FIFA Club World Cups, 24 La Liga titles and 29 Spanish Cups. On this tour, you will have the opportunity to look at all their laurels and feel what it is like to be a Barcelona player.<\/p>\n
