Day 634 - 09/07/2015 : Seu d'Urgell, Olympic Channel

Catalonia may be very proud about organizing the First Modern Olympic Games in 1992, indeed, the event that the southern neighbor hasn't able to organize yet, causing our revelry.

One of the main headquarters in 1992 was located in La Seu d'Urgell, specifically due to the existence of 'The Parc Olímpic del Segre'. The park was constructed in a branch of the river Segre, which was re-channelled after the damage caused by the exceptional flood of 1982.

The games were a landmark on the support of canoe slalom by La Seu, it were an unforgettable time for the village.

It's worth a walk around it, you can't miss it !
