Paula,
I’m traveling to Barcelona in November, and would like to buy a used surfboard. Are there shops that sell used? Is there a community website for purchasing secondhand goods in Spain?
Thanks!
Hi Jon,
Please check http://www.milanuncios.com, http://www.vibbo.com or es.wallapop.com for second hand goods in Spain.
I do not know if there are any surf shops with second hand surf boards…
Good luck!
