So in case you want to stay somewhere for less than a week having a banner is most likely not worth the hassle... even hasslelesslier you can stay in a squat that has already gone through the registration process. Most of those houses are in Barcelona. In order to find a place to stay there you can simply look up the online version of the local squatter's newspaper "Info Usurpa" and attend the next happening in one of the locations where you can ask for sleeping places among the guests.
Mainly, the park 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'', than walk till the 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 musuem museum on your back, submarine on your right, there is some stairs in front of you, between entrance of museum and submarine, you will see the main door of this parkafter 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 garduan
2, just after get out 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 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
There is a fantastic spot to sleep near Port Vell, at a place called La Rambla del Mar. To get there, follow Las Ramblas all the way to 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 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 area use for supplies. and there are 3 more further on down the port vell area, just keep walking and 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. It might be hard with just one person, but its easy to get on 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, with no hassle from anyone. A bit dusty, but perfect in every other way.
It is possible to crawl into the Ciutadella park, just get inside and find a place to pitch a tent. It will be safer if you are not alone there. You can always meet some people on way there because other people are also searching place to sleep same as you.
