== Getting in = Hospitality exchange ===[[Accommodation#Hospitality exchange networks|Hospitality exchange networks]] have many members in Barcelona, however, you have to plan your stay well ahead since it is quite a popular destination. === From France Sleeping in public areas ===On Options include sleeping on the main highway from France to beach, in parks, nearby hills, roofs of buildings and elsewhere. Note that parks in Barcelonaclose at night, some cars are being stopped and may not be that easy to get into one. '''Ciutadella park''' is closed at night, but may be accessed by the border for checksentrance facing the Arc de Triomf. While riding into Spain (Catalunya), there The bars of the fence near the gate are several wide enough to slip through if you're not very big rest areas along that road. You can either 're unlikely to be disturbed during the night but the Police might wake you up after 8am and ask you to move on. Another user got inside and pitched a tent. It is safer if you are not alone. Lot of criminals and junkies also sleep there dont talk and dont trust anyone. Attach your driver bag to stop tree with rope when you sleep. Small '''park just in front of the Cosmo Caixa Museum''' where you can easy use a tent. By public transport, you can get the L7 to the end ''Av. Tibidabo'', 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 somewhere along that road at towns that have train stationsmuseum on your back, submarine on your right, such as there is some [[Girona]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, or better [[Rubí]] or [[San Cugat]]for the ground, but you might be visible at the morning, or get and woke up by a guardian; (2) right after geting out off from under the stairs, the ground is shitty, you might need good stake to setup your tent, mostly in windy time, from there, the guy who open the door at the morning, can't see you, and he don't go into the car park at all, so you can sleep till late! Take the metro from "Placa de Catalunya" to Canyelles station, walk about 200 yards uphill from the station and find some nice '''hills''' to camp/sleep out/hang a restarea for hammock. You can meet wild boars Take a ride into late train to the park in the North-West of Barcelona. A For example, you can take the S2 to ''Sabadell'' (ticket generally cost zone 1) leaving from ''Plaça de Catalunya'' and getting off at ''Baixador de Vallvidrera'': there is a big park which is nearly like a forest, and you between €1will find a very good and lonesome place to stay within 500 meters from the station. '''Parc de la Pau''' small and clean park next to the beatch (15 min from metro to station Besos Mar, next to Dechatlon shop,20 street Career de la Pau)... '''Mountains next to Camp De Futbol Canyelles''' (San Cugat/ Rubímetro Valldaura and next to Institut Escola artístic Oriol Martorel, street Camí Antic de Sant Llàtzer) === 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 considered a crime, "trespassing" unless you have a banner with the squatting "N" hanging from a balcony, window etc. The cops are going to put this down and inform the 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 hassle... You can just stay in a squat that has already gone through the registration process. Most of those houses are in Barcelona. === Thieves === When staying on the beach in Barcelona, you may notice thieves. They walk around and observe people on the beach for hours before stealing anything. Even though they aren't usually hostile or confrontational, they can steal clothes off your back while you're asleep. The only sure way to keep your things safe is to bury it in the sand and sleep on top of it. Sleeping with your head on your bag is just not enough. These thieves are very professional, and they look for people sleeping rough not just on the beach but in the central districts too. === Wild boars === Wild boars are abundant in Barcelona, there are hundreds of them. Stay away from the canes. this is where they live and €10 sometimes they spend the night there. Don't take food to your place. on't provoke wild boars! They unafraid of humans. If something happens, back off slowly. Wild boar usually don't attack unless they feel threatened. 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... It's best if you stay next to a tree that you can climb on if anything happens. If you see a mother and her cubs stay the fuck away. == Free internet ==Free wireless and Apple demo computers with limited internet access at Apple Store (GironaPlaza Catalunya).
