Last June was the third edition of Rule Fest at Mondaka DIY in back woods of Mondariz, near Vigo in Galicia, Spain. Sunny days, skating in the indoor wooden bowl with metal and pool coping, swimming down in the river, skater made arts and crafts, cheap beer, good people, funny times, ending with a punk rock show and another swim in the river to wash away the sweaty beer drenched weekend. Looking forward to Rule Fest 4, June 9th, 2018.
