Walk straight out along Carrer Mare de Déu del Roser, some cars are being stopped going a bit uphill. Bear left at the border for identity end of the road and luggage checkyou will see a roundabout with a petrol station. When going At the roundabout, take the exit Carrer de Vallespir and walk ≈150m till you get to Spain (Catalunya), there are several big rest areas on that the roundabout junction with the C-16 motorway. Stand at the entrance slip-roaddirection Manresa. You can either ask your driver <br/ >Probably you will not find a ride to let Andorra but from Manresa you can take the road in direction Berga.

== Barcelona Public Transport ==
The Barcelona public transport system consists of an underground metro, trams, area trains, and buses. Day passes are a little more than 5 euro, and cover the whole transport system, buses, trams, metro, and area trains (Rodalies and [http://www.fgc.net/eng/index.asp FGC]). Single passes are for the metro only, and cost 1eur 2.3000. The best deal is the T-10, which is 10 rides for 711 eur (1.20 - .72 10 per ride). There is also a pink ticket for older Spanish people 10 rides for 4 eur, but dont show this ticket to gate guards/ticket inspectors. These tickets will also let you into the RENFE system, but you risk getting controlled if you go very far (more than 2 hours or so).
The entrances sometimes have turnstiles and sometimes have sliding electronic gates. It is easy possible to jump the turnstiles or slide underneath. It is possible to , or climb over the electronic gates, but that will only work if the station is deserted. Also, it If you get caught your risk is easy to pass more than one person through the electronic gates on only one ticket, though they will beep when 40-100 euro - if you do this. Some gates are monitored, others are 're not. The TMB employees dress in red, or red and white striped shirts. If they spot you, some will turn their head, others will tell you able to go back and paytalk your way out of it. Controllers Control happens sometimes come at the exits of stations, very rarely on the trains, other times they check as you're getting off (easy to escape). The fine is 40 euro, 20 if you pay it the same day. You have 30 days to pay.Walk out by stairs slowly and look forward for them
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 hammock. You can meet wild boars 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 ''Plaça 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. '''Parc de la Pau''' small and clean park next to the beatch (15 min from metro to station Besos Mar, next to Dechatlon shop, street Career de la Pau)... '''Mountains next to Camp De Futbol Canyelles''' (metro Valldaura and next to Institut Escola artístic Oriol Martorel, street Camí Antic de Sant Llàtzer) == Staying = 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 ===[[Accommodation#Hospitality_exchange_networks|Hospitality exchange networks]] have many members When staying on the beach in Barcelona, howeveryou 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 have 're asleep. The only sure way to plan keep your stay well ahead since 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 quite where they live and 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 popular destinationmother and her cubs stay the fuck away. == Free internet ==Free wireless and Apple demo computers with limited internet access at Apple Store (Plaza Catalunya)
