10 Bucket list skateparks in Portugal

The Ultimate skate road trip in Portugal - Planning some skate holidays? Make sure you hit these spots!

When I started skateboarding 4 years ago nobody actually knew how many skateparks there where in Portugal. I actually had difficulties finding new parks to skate in the weekend. So one day I decided to map out the whole country for the skater community here. The mission was to find and skate every park, mini and DIY spot in the country and build the first map of all the skateparks in Portugal. 17 months later: 199 skateparks in Portugal. So, imagine you want to do a roadtrip from the North of Portugal to the South, where should you go? Here's 10 spots you should burn.

Braga skatepark

The skatepark in Braga, built by Academia dos Patins, is a bucket list spot for every skater. The park features one of the best bowls in the country, a street area and even has a small modular pumptrack.

Belmonte skatepark

The village of Belmonte lies towards the northeastern part of Portugal. It’s head of a rural municipality where you can find about 54 people per square kilometre and where they’re highly likely to be advanced in years, as the ratio of elderly to young people is close to 3:1. Towards the northeastern part of the village, there’s a small residential neighbourhood facing an abandoned quarry. Inside this quarry sits one of the biggest skate bowls in the world.
