Although bowling may be more readily associated with children’s parties and elderly men with expanding waistlines, it is in fact, a great way to spend a fun couple of hours with friends. Bowling is extremely popular in the United States of America, where alleys are found everywhere. Europe has also adopted this activity, which gained a lot of popularity in Spain. There are a number of places where you can go for a game here in Barcelona, and enjoy showing off your amazing bowling skills or practice not letting your ball roll onto the gutter and trying to actually hit some pins.
