In search of the sun (Part 6)

A three-man trip to the south of France, Barcelona,...

So every morning it was the same, we got up at around 10.30am, ate
breakfast, chilled for about half an hour, prepared ourselves to ride, got
in the car and drove to the center of Barcelona and parked the car in an
underground parking lot. It wasn’t very cheap, but we all agreed it was
better than a couple of broken windows...

The street riding was amazing! It’s like a big skate park whit houses
build in it. I don’t know what the architects were up to when building it,
but it was great! At almost every corner of the street there was something
you could ride.

The first day we parked the car near the coast, because we thought it was
the easiest. Immediately we found a bank that was in the Fit Barcelona
movie we watched the evening before, then we cruised around a little,
found a square whit some pyramid shaped flower-boxes that you could
ride like a set of trails.

The rest of the day we explored a bit of the inner city, found a really fun
statue, like a bank to wall. Dimitris did a sick manual down some benches
starting about 5m above the ground to the left, for about 25m long, respect.
In the evening we met a local, but as we noticed not much guys there can
speak English, and so was he. It was amazing, he kept on talking and talking
in Catalan, even if we tried to explain him several times we couldn’t
understand a word of what he was saying

I love this picture, because it tends to mess with your head.
