Casa Maccaroni is a guesthouse made for people who want to live in an international community, inspired from art, surf and skateboarding, surrounded by the Canary Islands environment.

After the contest “Rumble in the Park”, we stayed a couple of days more with Michi and skated around Gmunden… during a rainy day, we had a small session in the miniramp.
