This is my last post before going back to Spain, and I would like to talk about a place close to my village. Here you can practice one of the funniest sports I have ever tried; River Hiking. It consists of going upriver thought completely transparent water, climbing, swimming and hiking.
What is even more appreciated than the sport is the place where it’s practiced; in the middle of the nature, with crystal line water and animals in their natural environment. This place will charge your batteries to the max.
If you are interested in discovering this experience visit the site from the guys who arranges it!
After the adventure you can head of and relax in a very cool restaurant in Barcelona, where you can spend all the night eating and talking about your exciting day, in a great and comfortable place.

As some of you might already know I’m Catalan from a village near Barcelona. Apart from Sagrada Familia and the football team Barça, Barcelona is also known as one of the best cities in the world to skateboard in. There are many places around the city that are suitable for skateboarding, but there’s one that is particularly good.
This place is MACBA square. In the heart of the Raval neighborhood, it’s one of the most intercultural areas of the city, in front of the MACBA (Modern Art Museum of Barcelona) you can practice your favorite sport in excellent conditions or watch how the other skateboarders do their tricks.
If you want to check how good this place is before you come to Barcelona you can watch Streets of Barcelona (MACBA from 2′20) where better skaters than me (sorry, I’ve tried to skateboard several times but I’m a bluff) show off the place and give some useful advice.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to have a drink in a fairytale? When I was 16, I took a tour to Barcelona and being from a small town I was surprised with the lack of nature. On hearing this my friend told me that he would take me somewhere I would like, and indeed I did.
In the center of Barcelona, amongst the skyscrapers and the noise from the roads, there’s a place that can transport you to the middle of a forest full of life. This place, called El bosc de les fades, and is a great bar where you and your friends can enjoy a drink in unusual surroundings and a mythical atmosphere. “It’s like being 300 km away from the city” another friend said, and I agreed.
However be careful; it’s said the oldest fairy from Barcelona lives here.
You can find El bosc de les fades here!
Have fun in the water
