=== Hitchhiking ferry to [[Mallorca]], [[Menorca]], [[Ibiza]] === Pls add info == 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 eur 2.00. The best deal is the T-10, which is 10 rides for 11 eur (1.10 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 possible to jump or slide underneath, or climb over the electronic gates. If you get caught your risk is 40-100 euro - if you're not able to talk your way out of it. Control happens sometimes at the exits of stations, very rarely on the trains. Walk out by stairs slowly and look forward for them On the stations with electronic gates, the best options is to wait for somebody to pass through a gate with a ticket, and walk directly behind them. This way you can across the gate. Sometimes, if you don do it quickly enough, a short buzzing alarm might activate, but this is largely ignored. == Blackriding long distance trains==On train station Barcelona Sants, where most of the long distances trains leave. You need to go threw a control similar like on airports. They check your ticket, they scan your luggage, you even need to put down jacket to go thre scanner. This makes it nearly impossible to get in long distance trains without ticket. The gates for short distance trains are separated so you can also try 't just buy few euro ticket to village near by. To get to the platforms of long distanes trains you would need a ride ticket at least to Girona or Taragona or something. When you come blackriding TGV from france you need to go out from the platform and then you would need again to go threw the stupid control to get next train so it doesn' t help you anyhow. At least leaving from the TGV is no problem as there are no gates on the exit. == Staying in Barcelona == === Free food and shower === There are free showers at beach with cold water. However, they are currently out of service due to the draught (2024). Food Parròquia de Sant Agusti (Carrer de l'Arc de Sant Agustí, metro Liceu) healty food each day except thursday at 10:15.

Note that parks in Barcelona close at night, and may not be that easy to get into one. '''Ciutadella park''' is closed at night, but may be accessed by the entrance facing the Arc de Triomf. The bars of the fence near the gate are wide enough to slip through if you're not very big. You'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 bag to 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 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 are many 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 guardian; (2) right after geting 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't see you, and he don't go into the 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 hammock. You can meet wild boars Take a late train stations with trains to the park in the North-West of Barcelona. There 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 cheap train service 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) === Sleeping in 2004 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 ticket 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 longest distance was 4 euro) along registration process. Most of those houses are in Barcelona. === Thieves === When staying on the coast all 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 into 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 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 (Plaza Catalunya)
