Best Blogs About Barcelona: The Complete List
Have you ever spent a tremendous amount of time searching for blogs about Barcelona? I have to say it's kind of frustrating and you wish you could find what you want in the blink of an eye instead of wasting time that you could be using to sip a fresh Mojito on one of Barcelona many beaches!
With that in mind, we've handpicked our favourites and written a blog on the best blogs about Barcelona! We hope you will enjoy these entertaining sources of information as much as we do!
Barcelona photoblog is one of the blogs you definitely can not miss!
This blog will let you discover Barcelona through all the incredibly beautiful and unique pictures. And on top of that, each picture is explained and discussed by the author. For example if one picture is about a museum, you will find information about the museum: its history, location, what the author thought when he visited it etc...
In my opinion, this is what makes this photoblog stand out, as other photoblogs usually post beautiful pictures but do not give additional information on the things that were shot.
As a combination of aesthetic pictures of Barcelona and useful information about the daily life of the city, Barcelona Photoblog is worth having a look at so check it out here!!
This blog is mainly about social and public issues and cultural life in Catalunya but it also covers these issues from a Spanish and European perspective.
Indeed, some of the social problems encountered in Catalunya are also present in other countries throughout Europe and it's always interesting to discuss things from a wider point of view.
The author's name is Brett Hetherington. He is an Australian journalist and is now working as a freelance writer, blogger and teacher in Catalunya. He also happens to be a regular commentator on Spain's social and cultural life for an Australian radio called "ABC Radio". The content is really interesting and diverse as it combines politics, social issues, economics, daily life and facts about Catalunya, Spain and Europe in general.
So if these topics are of interest to you, you definitely have to read this blog!
Funny name for a blog isn't it? As you might have guessed, this blog is about Barcelona's daily life and features all the advantages and drawbacks of living in this city. As its slogan says, "Si quieres el perro, Acepta las Pulgas". In english, "If you want the dog, you must accept the fleas"!
In my opinion, the name has been wisely chosen as this metaphor perfectly describes Barcelona. The dogs are the things that we see in tourist guides, the good sides of Barcelona, its charming streets, districts and monuments. On the other hand, the fleas are all the less savoury things that you don't hear about, such as the drunk tourists on the beach, the drug dealers, the squaters, the thieves etc...

This blog will keep you up to date with the club's daily life, transfer rumours, match results, highlights and so on! What I like the most about it is that some articles in the blog are written and edited by fans and there is an impression of community when you browse the website making the blog highly interactive and 'live'.
I totally recommend it if you're a Barca fan! You can check it out here! PS: Visca el Barca i Visca Catalunya!
This blog is dedicated to street art in Barcelona. It features many different creations from graffiti to urban sculptures. What I find really cool is that it is a way to discover Barcelona in an original manner as every creation is usually geolocalized meaning that its location is mentioned. So if one street art creation really catches your attention, you might be able to go and check it out for real! The only obstacle to fully enjoying this blog is that it's written in Spanish, but I guess it will be a good opportunity to practice your spanish and to be honest this blog is more about the pictures of street art. Barcelona street art reminds us that art is not only in museums! You can discover it here.
