Skateboarding
Barcelona is one of the best
places in Europe for skateboarding, maybe in the
world. Hard to believe until you experience it,
but it’s real: the entire city is like an
enormous urban skate park. Everything on the streets
can be transformed into modules or rails for you
to practice your tricks. But be aware of the police,
always ready to kick you out from a good spot!
If you wish, a professional skater can take you
to the best skating spots in the city, to the
well known ones and also to the less talked about.
We also offer you great accommodations, strategically
located, perfect for skateboarding, only 15 minutes
away from the famous MACBA (Museum of Contemporary
Art of Barcelona).

Nightlife
First of all, we must warn you
that Barcelona’s nightlife can take up a
large portion of your day! At the end of the day
you can start off the evening enjoying a drink
at one of the many little terraces you can find
throughout the city. No matter if it’s down
by the beach, around a little park or along the
famous rambla (pedestrian avenue), you’ll
find loads of restaurants and bars that offer
a huge variety of tapas, bocadillos (small snacks)
and of course, sangría (cold red wine with
oranges). Since the Catalans usually don’t
have dinner before 11 pm, it’s a waste of
time to visit bars before midnight (and clubs
before 2 am). But have no fear, parties go on
until sunrise and it’s not infrequent to
end the night eating a good breakfast at one of
the local cafes that open very early in the morning.
Most alternative and easy going bars and clubs
are located in the ”ciudad antigua”
or old part of the city, however according to
you musical preferences, you can find different
places to party throughout the entire city.
