Barcelona Skateboarding
Skateboarding in Barcelona is propably one of the biggest sports, where the city is used. Barcelona is great for skateboarding mainly because of its skateboard friendly surfaces (that propably was ment for disabled people)! Recently (well not that recently) Tony Hawk put Barcelona in The playstation game of the same name, as this city is getting to be the largest skateboarding city in the world! If you want to meet other skateboarders, I would recommend that you go either to the Plaza in front of MACBA or Museum of contemporary art in Barcelona! This is one of the biggest places for meeting and skateboarding in Barcelona…
Another place for skateboarding and meeting up is the Plaza Sants, not far from Plaza Espanya. This square or plaza has a huge amount of obstacles that are as made for skating…. just as the front entrance to the MACBA in Raval! The two above mentioned places are the ones I would recommend to visit if going to barcelona for skateboarding. Another thing that you should be aware of now is that the police are on a hunt for skaters at the moment! If they catch you they will definately give you a find! Its a part of the new clean Barcelona Identity. It is also forbidden to buy beers from our indian friends now, and you can get a hefty find for drinking in the streets! Also buying “fake” stuff from the street merchants, such as sunglasses and sh*t can get you in a lot of trouble!
