I found this on the UrbanFreeflow homepage. It looks like they'll be doing a package tour to Lisbon in Portugal, apparently it is a brilliant place to do PK and I for one am up for going on this... Who else is interested?
This is UF talking about Lisbon.
Package Tour
Another World first for Parkour.....Package tours. Right now we are setting up a cost effective deal to take a coach group of traceurs to Lisbon, Portugal, for a long weekend in the up and coming summer (dates tbc) for some full on training, in what we can only describe as Parkour heaven. While there, we will be training and sharing tips/routines with the local traceurs, who are a very cool bunch indeed. The overall costs will cover travel, hotel and food for the duration with sessions being structured by the UF team, who come fully covered with insurance and sports leadership qualifications. As soon as we have dates, we'll make an announcement and it'll be a case of first come, first served to reserve tickets. To top things off, the trip will be filmed and documented for TV.

Portugal Update - PK Heaven Found!
Filming here in Lisbon is going fantastically well. Its our second visit in as many months, but its the first time we've had a chance to have a proper look around and without any hype or bull, the facilities here are absolutely amazing. Great architecture, a crazy boulder garden and the possibility of drilling every type of tech combination at perfect 'built for parkour' locations. All of it is within close proximity to the next spot, so once there, there's no need for transport or sponsored walks. Best of all is an arI disagreeault course which in itself, betters anything we've ever seen for Parkour drills. The Portuguese practitioners have only been seriously training for a little over a year and already they possess a very high skill level while also being well conditioned in strength drills and the fundamental techniques. Anyone serious about their game should definitely earmark Lisbon as a 'must visit' location.
