Anyone know what’s happening to Paralell?

[close]

They're demolishing the balcony and the center ledges to make a basketball court.

I used to love Paral·lel back in the day but they screwed a few years back.

so the low manual pads under the trees are gonna be gone?

Yes, but I think it's just a makeover. There's a plan in the future to change everything if they find investors for the abandoned building...

Very weird plan. Just slapping a single basketball court in the middle. I guess it will be cheap for them

[RichardBarkley]

Looks like they are keeping the ledges near the old stage no?

I only ever skate flat there or new replica Manny pad on Saturdays when the market isn't there.

Definitely not Barcelona, I think it's somewhere in Morocco

Hey everyone,
After years of dreaming about it, I'm finally going to Barcelona on a (mostly) skate trip for a week in September! I'm going with my wife (who is hitting the Skate Love Barcelona rollerskating summit) and we will be doing some touristy stuff, but I'm definitely orienting the trip around skating. I'm an older skater who is pretty much exclusive to ledges and banks, no handrails or stairs, but I'm also to do some some spot tourism even if just to see some of these legendary locales in person.

We're staying in Poblenou but aren't afraid of taking trains or walking/skating across the city. I'll obviously be hitting the Born Plaza, Picnic DIY, MACBA, and that curb by the W.

I'm looking for any tips, recommendations, or info you have. What spots are a bust? What is worth checking out just to see it in person? What are good places to eat that might not be on obvious internet lists (no dietary restrictions)? Any cool non-skate spots or things to do other than the obvious tourist stuff?

I'm especially curious about spots where I can skate and my wife can rollerskate (smooth, flat ground. She doesn't roll on transition. We're middle aged.)

I've got a map I'm making with spots, food, and some other things here: https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?mid=1Ur3twWvrIgLPKT383k4kBjgxz99-f6E&usp=sharing

Hit me with PMs or reply here if you got anything for me. Gracias.

This map is awesome, thank you! I was looking for that bank to curb spot by the beach on another map and couldn’t find it for the life of me.

My wife and I are headed to Barcelona in beginning of January after we postponed our Summer trip. Staying near Arc de Triomf so I’m stoked to get a session or two in at Born Plaza and the Arc de Triomf wallies.

It was seriously sick man. Really really enjoyed it. Brought the dog up she loved it too. The besos waves was seriously buck. Koston seems pretty dam cool. Ishod was skating flat at the second last spot. So sick just flowing around.

Saw clips on insta looked sick. Ishod is the goat. Saw him skate last summer in Lyon. Was Koston on an anti hero deck? The clips I saw looked like it. Glad he is still out there skating.

I didn't actually notice his deck. He was in great form. Seems like a really friendly guy. Was stuffing his face with croissants.

Sagrada Familia would be the obvious one. Joan Miro, the rambla market, picasso museum.There's Cosmo Caixa too. Other than I can suggest good bars to you maybe.

Most things are outside unfortunately.

There is one indoor park as well.
