  1. Man this is an amazing idea, I just want to say thank you and don't stop to update this blog. I'm from Lisbon, Portugal but I'm going to live in Barcelona in the next September.

    PS. I don't know if it's possible (because of the views), but if so add some nice spots you are missing such as Mercat Des Flores, Villapicina or the banks at the Estrella Factory

    Congratulations for your work!

  2. Hi!

    Thanks for comment, I'm glad there is someone else who likes the idea!

    I suppose Vilapicina is
    this one ? Have to name it again.

    Beer banks are not visible.

    The name Mercat Des Flores sounds rare to me, please tell me what's there!

  3. Hi again,

    Mercat Des Flors it's near the Teatre Lliure I guess. It's already in Montjuic but I doubt it's visible too.
    It's a long ledge with metal corner, just perfect.

    I've never been to the Beer Banks but seems so sick, I don't know how to get there though.

    Are you a Barcelona local?

    Please don't stop to update this, it's just awesome.

  4. Hi!

    I found some ledges somewhere there, but did not see white with metal corner... please find it and post a link here, there is some images available from that zone.

    I'm not a local, just one Nordic guy who has been there various times. Im just interested in the spots of Bcn...

    About updating... Im kind of ran out of visible spots... hope to find out some more in my near future trip there... and the beer banks location is here.

  5. Thanks a lot man, I have to skate those banks.

    Well the ledge is not visible in street view, but I leave you the aerial view:

    Here it is

    It's in that big plaza on the right with the spiral on the ground. It's near a Theatre.

    I am from Portugal but I'm moving to Barcelona on next month. I've been there several times too and totally fell in love with that city.

    I never explored too much spots, because I always went there alone and it's more difficult that way, I guess.

    However I have some notes on an old map, tomorrow I'll try to put here in the comments the locations for the ones you don't have.

  6. Skateboarders are passionate about their sport!! And yet very often people ask the question; why would anyone want to participate in this dangerous sport where there are so many skateboard crashes. Many people have the skewed view that boarders are basically just 'skateboarding accidents that are waiting to happen'. Best Skateboarding Wheels
