Hey dudes, me and ash took a little trip to spain last week, heres some pics.
We stayed with one of ashas friends in Valencia who has been learning spanish for 6 weeks. She showed us around and was our translater.
this is where they kill the bulls

some cool old buildings



and cool new buildings





great graffiti everywhere










this ones for break away sativa bike club

and of course some crazy bikes










this one hurts



we got shitty free bikes from one hotel we stayed in and got to ride around a bit

they had the F1 race down at the beach



then we jumped on a train to BARCELONA!
some pics from the train.








barcelona is huge




mostly flat in town but some bigger hills around, theres actually a big longboarding scene and GAVs too I guess but I didnt see any of those.

we saw that big TV aerial on the top of that hill get nailed by lighting one night it was super rad.

heaps of Gaudi buildings I remeber studing at UNI

nuts




booze and food is way cheep
sangria is 40c (euro) a litre,

heres the view in the morning


we went to a fiesta one night but I forgot to take my camera, but I snapped some pics the next day of a couple of the streets







basically everyone decorates a street on there block with a differnt theme and there are bands and djs and everyone just parties till 6 in the morning, so rad

So many great skate/riding spots, every fucking ledge is marble or granite and I didnt see one skatestopper anywhere
these are some famous "tits" down at the port in barcelona



banks everywhere




ledges and rails in Valencia




and parks


These are the "bicing" bikes, basically free to use for people who live there, but not for us toristoes.

pritty cool bikes, people seem to really like the chopper sort of style over there, I guess cause its sort of a lazy beach town thing. even though its a huge crazy city.

like velib in paris, vans drive around everyday and grab them and service them.
the bowling alley was pritty good too

you use a joystick to put in your name, sweeeeeet

well thats it for now. uhhhhhhhh.....
thanks for having me.

Think I just found my new home!
rad post! holly shit.. you dont even know how jealous I am!!! Looks like you had an amazing time.....
yeah dudes it was rad, sweetest place to live if you can speak spainish but pritty hard if you cant. I feel like I just scratched the surface of its radness, we did no research about what to do or see we just wondered around and found cool stuff everywhere, but I would love to go back with someone who knows the place and can take me to some shows.
that Gaudi church is amazing.. did you go in?? did you know a NZ guys is in charge of finishing it!
no it was really hot and we were tired and didnt want to stand in lines, thats cool its looks like it would be insanely hard but fun to build.
