Most of the apartments in the little streets of Barcelona are not really soundproof for noise from the street, If you have stayed in one of these little streets of the city center before you have sure noticed them at night going on there skateboards, right skaters. In the day time, you don´t only hear them a lot more but you see them everywhere strolling around or doing tricks. Another great thing this city has to offer.
There are many good skateparks in Barcelona but the street skaters prefer the street, of course. One of the most popular spots they like to hang out is in front of the Macba museum in Raval. There are always some skaters to spot almost 24/7. On a busy day there might be ten´s of them practising or showing of there best tricks, while many people sit around enjoying a can of beer or smoking a porro.
Other spots where you can see skaters at work is at the back of the hotel W close to the beach of La Barceloneta. Closer towards the city center there is plaza de Universidad a busy square surrounded by traffic. On the other hand there are some pretty cool skateparks Barcelona offers, like Forum skatepark, by the end of the beach. La Mar Bella towards the skatepark el Forum but about 1 and half km closer. Another well known skate park is La Guineueta. The park includes three bowls, to get there take metro L3 to Canyelles and then it’s only a five minute walk. Skateplaza de les Corts is one of the new skate parks in Barcelona. Located in the Les Corts district and than last but not least The Agora skatepark, in the area of Badalona, one of the most popular in Barcelona.
Besides the many skaters, you can spot also the BMX riders in town. They are well treated too with a huge bike park, 30 minutes by train from the city center.
