Montjuïc is known by the people of Barcelona and Catalonia as “The Magic Mountain” because of its privileged location, its views to the sea and city and throughout its history. But perhaps Montjuïc also will be remembered because it was one of the most emblematic circuits of Formula 1 for many years.
Montjuïc debuted in the World Championship of Formula 1 as a new circuit over 40 years ago, being the home for the Formula 1 Grand Prix in 1969. Montjuïc circuit had three kilometers and almost a half-mile, and was a street circuit located in the same Park of Montjuïc mountain. Its views and its layout gave the circuit a majestic appearance, as well as spectacular.

Its layout, which combined a quick area with very slow corners, was technical, counter-clockwise, and only the best were fast on it. The circuit existed as such since 1933, but it was not until 1968 that was chosen to be part of the calendar of Formula 1 in 1969.
