Caltrava's Bridge... Possible or Impossible

Caltrava's Bridge- Barcelona



I have been researching locations to run for tomorrows run, my goal is to make it to the Clatrava Bridge. The address of this bridge is:
Bac de Roda Bridge
C/ Felip II and c/ Bac de Roda
La Sagrera
Barcelona
Spain

After taking the addresses into Google Earth the run is an estimated 8 miles. This seems to be a rather ambitious run although it should be possible. It is .87 miles further then the Torre Agbar. It seems to be all flat, although the run is through the dense tourist part of the town so it should be another frustrating run. This bridge seems to be a very interesting space to walk through. The bridge does not run over water, it is simply an overpass. It seems to be both a pedrestrian bridge and for cars. This bridge seems to be focused on being an inviting space for pedrestrians.





Caltravas Bridge- Seville


While in Seville we came across another Caltrava bridge, which was very simliar, a connection used for both pedestrians and cars. His bridges seem to be very welcoming for the travelers on foot. One night Christi, Lauren, and I ran to this bridge along the river edge, it was a very warm night and was a great run.
