Barcelona
The Spanish Grand Prix is one of the oldest in the world, dating back to 1913, albeit with several breaks for various reasons. It has been run on many circuits, including Lasarte, Pedralbes, Jarama, Montjuic, Jerez, and Catalunya, which has been the venue since 1991.
The event was the final round of F1's second season in 1951, where Juan Manuel Fangio claimed his first driver's title, driving for Alfa Romeo. The Spanish GP was a regular event in the F1 calendar from 1968 to 1979, and has been a part of every F1 season since 1986.
With long straights and a wide variety of corners, Catalunya is seen as an all round test of an F1 car's abilities, and for this reason is regularly used for pre season testing.
In terms of the layout, it certainly provides variety, from the wide, sweeping turn 3, to the changing radii of 4,5, and 6, and the tight hairpin at turn 10.
The layout was altered in 2007, replacing a sweeping corner at turn 13 with a tight chicane, created by adding turns 14, and 15. This was an attempt to adapt to the greater aerodynamic turbulence of modern F1 cars, create better overtaking opportunities, and lower speeds at the entrance to the pit lane.
