The only sure To get there, follow Las Ramblas all the way to keep your things safe the bottom end, go past the columbus column in the direction of the water. You will come to a wooded 'deck' kind of area where a lot of tourists pass. There is a large, old square building here, the port police station, and next to bury it there is a big carpark. About 20 metres passed the end of the carpark there is a small wooden looking building that the hot dog vendors in the sand area use for supplies. and there are 3 more further on down the port vell area, just keep walking and sleep you'll see them. It has a garage style door on the front. On the top of this there is a large white canvas tent, that looks kind of like a teepee, you cant miss it. Sleeping It might be hard with your head just one person, but its easy to get on your bag is just the roof of the building with 2 people, under the tent thing. Its warm, dry, out of sight and the tourists or police wont notice you if youre careful. [[Jugglehitch]] and 3 friends slept here for 1 week (in 2001, the structure may not enoughbe there anymore), with no hassle from anyone. A bit dusty, but perfect in every other way.

Another option === Sleeping in empty or occupied buildings and rooftops ===Roofs and similar structures are quite fine sleeping places. Sleeping in abandoned houses is recommendable although it is sleeping by considered a crime, "trespassing" unless you have a banner with the roundabout of squatting "N" hanging from a balcony, window etc. The cops are going to put this down and inform the Colom monument near landlord. If they do not want you to stay and if you have been there for less than a week they can evict you right away. So in case you want to stay somewhere for less than a week having a banner is most likely not worth the port at hassle... You can just stay in a squat that has already gone through the end registration process. Most of ''Las Ramblas'' although the traffic nearby can be quite noisythose houses are in Barcelona. You In order to find a place to stay there you can sleep near statues simply look up the online version of lions the local squatter's newspaper "Info Usurpa" and as long as attend the next happening in one of the locations where you are low-key about it, both police and locals probably won't disturb your stay.

Mainly, the parks in Barcelona are close at night, and may not be that easy to get in during the night. I found a small park just in front of the Cosmo Caixa Museum where you can easy sleep in tent. By public transport, you can get the L7 to the end ''Av. Tibidabo'Wild boares', than walk 5 minutes direction top of the hill, turn on the ''Carrer d'Isaac Newton'' just before the bridge on the left and continue. You will find this huge building, with a big submarine in front of it. When you have museum on your back, submarine on your right, there is some [http://goo.gl/maps/MxfX2 stairs] in front of you, between entrance of museum and submarine, you will see the main door of this park after few stairs, it might be close if its late, so you can go to the top of this stairs, than jump on the left side, go under the stairs to the other side, and there is the spot. 2 options : 1, near the bench, better for the ground, but you might be visible at the morning, and woke up by a garduan2, just after get out from under the stairs, the ground is shitty, you might need good stake to setup your tent, mostly are abundant in windy time, from there, the guy who open the door at the morning, cant see you, and he don't go into the park at all, so you can sleep till late! Another great option is to take a late train to the park in the North-West of Barcelona. For example, you can take the S2 to ''Sabadell'' (ticket zone 1) leaving from ''Placa de Catalunya'' and getting off at ''Baixador de Vallvidrera'': there is a big park which is nearly like a forest, and you will find a very good and lonesome place to stay within 500 meters from the station. You can also take the metro from "Placa de Catalunya" to "Canyelles" station, walk about 200 yards uphibll from the station and find some nice hills to camp/sleep out/hang a hammock in. ;Before camping around Barcelona you should know that the place is crawling with wild boaresThere are hundreds of them... I A user was using the canyelles option for 3 nights but I don't have any reason to believe that it's different in Sadabell. i don't know if i would recommend anyone to sleep there... if you want to do this i wrote some general tips that will help you to stay alive but i think you should read more about wild boars because if anything will happen you would wish you knew more.. like i did in the first night ;-) however it's your responsibility..1. #Stay away from the canes. this is where they live and sometimes they spend the night there.2. #Don't take food to your place.3. #Don't provoke wild boars! they afraid They unafraid of nothinghumans. if If something happens , back off slowly. 4. a wild #Wild boar usually wondon't attack if he doesn't unless they feel Threatenedthreatened. They will probably stay away from you but they will come to sniff your tent once you're inside... I did nothing and they went away... 5. #It's best if you stay next to a tree that you can climb on if anything happens.6. #If you see a mother and her cubs stay the fuck away.
