Hey, I went there as an Erasmus exchange student. I got support through the Erasmus program and also from my Finnish government. All EU citizens can move freely inside the European Union so there is not limit to staying. @@littlesword3
@@littlesword3Im personally here at the moment for two months or maybe more, but the way I did it is that I moved to my mom’s place in Dublin for a few months so I don’t have to pay rent, worked as much as I possibly could, save up as much as I can, and now here I am, living off of that money. I could manage to save up around 4k in two months and with my simple skate/smoke/paint lifestyle, for me it’s enough for about 2-3 months rent plus money to spend on a basic budget.

barcelona really is unbelievable. in one day i skated plaza universitat and the whole lrg team skated up. skated a few blocks to macba and sebo walker was there skating. that night went to Diagonal and it was pretty much empty. guy skated up with his hood up and had that style you could tell he was good. did fakie front half cap nose manny first try. took his hood off. it was mark suciu. never forget that day. my apartment was 1 block from universitat. was a great summer
This video is so good! The info about why they built it for the olympics/paralympics was something I never knew but it makes so much sense why the ground is so smooth everywhere
Local here, but like long long time ... My 5 cents, BCN now is a shithole designed for the poor and rich tourists enjoyment and some local elites too, and Raval is kept ina slow bleeding state by vulture funds, corrupt politicians and retarded dealers, thiefs and tourists that don’t give a fuck about the neighborhood improvement. if you enjoy the city like the inbreed degenerate hipsters do, you are part of the problem.
Born and raised in Barcelona. Love my city despite it's weaknesses and flaws on certain aspects. Doing calisthenics all over the city and it's so funny to see the skateboarding community here in different spots and you end up almost knowing all of them wherever you go.
watching this brings me so many memories , I used to live close to MACBA , even the city is messy and the crazieness can be a bit annoying sometimes , Barcelona is a perfect spot itself , definitely gonna get back asap
Any local restaurant to recommend? I lived in Bcn a few months and couldn't eat good local food no matter how hard I searched for it, I could only find great restaurants of other countries (Thai, Nepalese, Italian, etc).
I was there. 2008. Just like they said. Skate the whole city. Beautiful. Skate history. Skate modern life. Live in the moment of always. I love U España
@@peterpacciani666 I skated back in the blockhead adventures in cheese era. VHS. Not many videos were in Barcelona dude. Christ I had sk8 hard with Christian hosoi on vhs. When I went to Woodward Andy Macdonald was a counselor and wasn’t even sponsored. I’m old man.
I’m from america and I am a musician and have played at nasty mondays! It’s seriously the best skate place in the world and also the best music scene in the world! I rap in a blues rock band and there was thousands of kids from all over who knew me and this Texas sound I have which was mind blowing! That should tell you how diverse Barcelona is! It’s the greatest city in the world! The only place I’d ever live outside of Texas!
When I was young in the 90 s I always thought the states are the place to be....grown up I'm a European and would never switch .... Barcelona Berlin Paris London Amsterdam kopenhagen Rome lissabon wien.....this is crazy
I mean there are spots to skate everywhere, but not the same mood. At the end of the day there are 3 or 4 spots where you know you'll go and find people to hang out and skate with, why go to a random place alone when you can party and skate 24/7 in the same place!
There actually wasn't a crazy amount of spots like it was hyped up to have and no not all the streets are super skateable it can get pretty run down and rough to ride or slate around macba is perfect all the hype is real
I came here for Spannabis last March and have come back for three weeks this year because it’s so amazing. Trying to make plans to move here for the Winter when work is quiet back home!!
Love Barcy! such an amazing experience! Never got to skate every spot though, there are just way way too many legendary spots to go to. really need to go back!
I'm jealous of countries like this. You can literally count the skateparks on your fingers in my country plus architecture here sucks. We often skate/ride bmx on flatgrounds plus our diy obstacles. I'm going to visit barcelona one day to ride.
Okay, I kinda sorry to come here bursting the buble, but MACBA is not as pretty as it seems from this video, and I know what I'm talking about, because I was born and raised in thsi city and Ive been living here for 31 years now, all my life, and I've spent my fair time going out to MACBA and all the bars and night spots in that zone, and yeah, at a first view it can be pretty with all the skaters, all the happy people having a good time, all the bars and the party... But it's not. MACBA is in a neighborhood called Raval, and without taking in account another neighborhood called La Mina, which is kinda outside the city, not so centric, Raval is the worst zone in all Barcelona... Drugdealers, drug addicts, prostitutes, fights, thefts, dangerous people, you always find the police arresting someone... It's the worst part of the city, it's not a nice place, Barcelona is a beautiful place, I love it, I love having been born and raise here, I love living here, it's a great city... But like any other city in the world it has its dark places, and Raval could be the darkest of them all, maybe the second darkest cause La Mina is even worst, but La Mina is not as centric and touristic as Raval is, so that makes Raval more dangerous. And I don't wanna disrespect this video either, I loved it, I even liked it and subscribe to these channel because of it, and I don't even skate, that's how good it is... But as a true "barcelonian" I felt like I needed to leave this warning: If you come to Barcelona and take a stroll through Raval, specially at night and specially nowadays, is the easiest way you have in this city to return home without your phone or your wallet, or even end up in a hospital. So yeah, come visit the city, even come visit MACBA and Raval, specially if you're a skater, cause yeah, everything this video says it's true, it's an excellent area to skate and party... But be vigilant, cause it's an excellent zone to get robbed or stabbed as well.
the guy selling water from the intro, they sell water but they´re "messangers", ask them for pills, coke, ex...etc and they take you to their friends around the corner, thats their main job basically
It's not legal though, technically you can only become a member of a cannabis club if someone already inside the club endorses you, and you need a valid spanish ID to do so. In reality clubs don't care much about technicalities though...
I had a very negative violent experience in Barcelona about a year ago and sadly it soured me on the city. Can’t say I want to visit again any time soon. My unsolicited advice is to always have at least one other person with you when walking around the city, especially at night. Be aware of your surroundings at all times, even in “safe” areas.
You forgot to say that is barely impossible to aford a humble apartment in BCN, so you better go with the idea of renting a 2,5m2 room for 500 €/month.

Facts been robbed there 😆
You right bro, I live in Barcelona for 2 years and Rambla is the worst
Y?

0:27 Flamenco song. It is like I talk about New York and I put some country music. This is the level of knowledge.

Good to see that the city scene has kept the same vibe since I lived there back in 2010. I love BCN.

Went to Barcelona for a city break a few years ago. I would go back in a heartbeat, such a cool city! So many things to visit and just a great vibe.
I'm looking forward to skating in Barcelona again. This city is like a dream! Greetings from Brazil. 🛹📹🔴

Hope you got paid by Barcelona city for this video, best tourist video ever... im itching to go now before my legs fully seize up!
this is the best ETN content. I've watched. I'd pay, for this shit lol
Don’t give them any ideas
But you didn't when they charged
Used to be 10$ a month I was paying for it when it was still going on. Forsure was worth the money
I wish internet was as popular when I was 18. I’d have gone here for sure. Now I’m old and married and retired from skating. Sucks.
No cure for ignorance...every single important video from the golden era have plenty of footage from barcelona'S spots
Sell out

Lost is still the Greatest Travel show since Anthony Bourdains No Reservations. Absolutely perfect. Stezy AF bruh.
I miss Bourdain so much. Only "celebrity" who's opinion I actually cared about. Get Lost gets me stoked to travel again.

Don‘t you think it‘s going to go back to normal when it‘s all over?
@@louisb1639 Yeah, i think and i hope so!!
Wasn't that bad ... I was skating all the covid period... obviously not like this with this party atmosphere...

between 7 to 15euro for a gram
