Barcelona is a great city to have fun in! One of the most popular activities available for you to try is paintball. It is a combination of a sport and a game from the 80s that was renewed in 2000s. In teams, players eliminate opponents by hitting them with small balls filled with paint. These are shot from a compressed air gun, using the same technology used by army forces for military training. Paintball can be played indoors or outdoors, as long as there is enough space for people to run around and places to shield themselves. The paintball equipment includes a gun, a mask, a hopper, an air tank and balls. Most games of paintball are played using masks and body armor to protect the body as the hitting of the balls can be quite painful.
