Barcelona School of Inline Skating  Rollerblading courses and tours for all ages and abilities

Learn to rollerblade with the official School of Inline Skating in Barcelona or try one of their Guided Rollerblading Tours of the city.

Begun in 1996 by two enthusiastic and professional in-line skaters, Toni Pla and Carles Bial, the school’s “classroom” programs have had such success that they are now the only skate school to be officially certified by the Catalan Federation of Skating.
