Great Skateparks guide in Spain Discover the best skate parks!

Skateboarding in Spain continues to grow. For decades, skateparks have been built in Spain to promote the practice of urban sports.

This sport on wheels, which has become so popular in recent years, has its origins in surfing. However, its most recent beginnings can be found in the empty swimming pools of California. Many of them, which were abandoned, were used as authentic skate parks where the first tricks took place.

Skateboarding is undoubtedly one of the most popular sports of the 21st century. Although Born in California in the 1950s when locals began surfing the streets of America on boards, skateboarding really took off in the 1970s and became popular in the 1990s and shows no signs of slowing down.
