Are there any places or festivals where one can do it? I'm not sure if i remember the word bungee jumping right, but i mean the thing when u tie a rope around your legs and jump down from...someplace high

Hey Antti, here they call it "Puenting", nasty Spanglish butchering job meant to express jumping off of bridges although it does not have to be a bridge at all.

A more technical term would be "salto con cuerda el�stica".

Take a look at these webs:

� www.destinosnaturales.com/puenting.htm
� www.telepolis.com/monografico/mono065
� www.spaindreams.com/cas/turact/ta_qutun.htm
� www.usuarios.com/ib308934/PUENTING.html
� www.turismoactivo.com/buscaactividades.php?ID=35 (search engine for adventure sports).

Also, do a search on "puenting espa�a" or just plain "puenting" on some search engines and see what you get.

Reminds me of a joke my brother in law told me:

A few Americans from the Midwest want to start a bungee jumping business, and, after researching potential locations, decide on Mexico. In addition to not having any such businesses registered, they heard the weather is wonderful, the people are pleasant, and the bridges (for jumping) are numerous.

So, they move to Mexico and open a business in a town with a high bridge over a canyon. They put up notices of a demonstration at sunset.

At sunset, a large crowd gathers at the base of the bridge. As the brave jumper takes a leap off the bridge, the crowd hushes to silence. Then the jumper's friends hear him scream in pain.

Rushing to the edge of the bridge, they fear that the bungee cord has broken. They are relieved to see that the bungee cord is indeed intact, and that he is bouncing up and down. However, they are concerned about his cries and begin pulling him up.

As he is pulled onto the bridge, the friends see that he is covered with cuts and bruises. They ask him what happened, surely he didn't hit the bottom of the canyon!

The jumper asks his friends, "What's a pi�ata?"

Good stuff Paul
