Could anybody give some updated information about what it like to be an American visiting Barcelona to skateboard? Since the antiskateboarding law went into effect one year ago, has it become difficult to skateboard? And... where in Barcelona could one go to skateboard with the least chance of getting in trouble?

Thanks!

Most of Barcelona is blown-out! Come to Las Vegas instead ;-) Our city has Skateboarding parks in 50% of the parks! I will be skating in Belgium & Germany this year.

Paris just open a park by the Seine. but i am not into it.

If you can read some Spanish, check out www.Barceloca.com 's forum on Skateboarding in Barcelona @ http://www.barceloca.com/es-ES/ps/-/Skate-Barcelona/68259.aspx

¡SUERTE!

Skateboarding in Barcelona is great! The MACBA plaza is really popular, and beyond Barceloneta along the coast you find half-pipes and ramps. Also, walking out of Sants station there are always so many kids skateboarding. Wonderful!

I'm not a skateboarder, but I can second that the MACBA (Museu d'Art Contemporani de Barcelona) plaza (not far from the Ramblas) is very popular. I always saw people skating at Placa Universitat in front of the University of Barcelona too. Don't know about the 'anti-skateboarding' law, but I was in Barcelona last summer and there didn't seem to be anyone stopping people from skateboarding.
