Barcelona is one of the most beautiful cities in the world to explore. At the same time, it is also one of the cities that has given birth to the best athletes in all sports!
One of them is one of the best European basketball players, Pau Gasol (July 6, 1980) who played for Barcelona BC, Memphis Grizzlies, Los Angeles Lakers, Chicago Bulls, San Antonio Spurs, Milwaukee Bucks.
He was born in Cornellà de Llobregat which is about 7km away from Barcelona and at the age of 6 he moved to Sant Boi de Llobregat.
Sant Boi de Llobregat is about 16km from the center of Barcelona and we would recommend you if you have time to visit the area where Pau Gasol grew up.
It is located on the banks of the Llobregat River and from the first moment you enter the city, you will realize that even locals who have no connection with sports boast that they live in the place where Pau Gasol grew up.
It is a city famous for its trade, metallurgy and vegetable production.
It is also famous for the “DUIN CEM PAU GASOL”. This is the gym that bears the “stamp” of the top Spanish basketball player and is the city’s trademark.
In Sant Boi de Llobregat, explore every corner of the city where Pau Gasol walked and developed into one of the greatest basketball players in the NBA.
