The Hippodrome of Can Tunis was a sports venue in the city of Barcelona, Spain. Originally an equestrian venue, it's now best remembered as a historic football and aeronautic venue. The Hippodrome of Can Tunis played a pivotal role in the early steps of football in Catalonia as one of the first football fields in Barcelona, and then served as a practice ground for the city’s budding aviation sector, and where the first plane to fly across Spain took off from on 12 February 1910.[1]
