Barcelona – La Ribera District

Before the “Crazy Workshop” kicked off, we had a full day to ourselves, which we spent exploring the La Ribera neighborhood and taking a stroll through the nearby Parc de la Ciutadella. Our tour ended back in the La Rambla area, where we enjoyed watching the lively skateboarding scene at Plaça dels Àngels.
