Link yourself to your city, use .barcelona

There are already over 6.000 registered .barcelona domains. Now you are the only one missing!

Barcelona joined the more than 30 cities around the world that have chosen to have their own Internet domain. New York, London, Berlin, Tokyo or Paris are among the cities that have embraced the opportunity to create a city brand on the Internet, thus helping companies, organisations, administrations, groups, entities and individuals identify with their city. Barcelona has not lagged behind.

What are the advantages of opting for city domains?

First of all, to strengthen the digital identity of a brand, a company or a person. The name of a domain perfectly reflects the network a brand belongs to or what you actually want and identifies it at first glance with a geographic location. When choosing a .barcelona extension, a clear statement is made: that of associating your product with one of the most innovative cities in the world. It also generates proximity, hence allowing clients to understand that we are talking about a local brand.
To have a .barcelona domain you must meet the requirement that the website contents with this extension are linked to Barcelona or its sphere of influence. This link to the community can be applied to multiple activities in various sectors, such as culture, tourism, commerce or education, thereby ensuring the website’s link to the city.

The .barcelona domain is an important tool to position itself favourably on the Internet search engines, since search engines prioritise results based on distance, and is also relevant when it comes to planning a successful digital communication strategy. It also generates a digital identity in the community of Barcelona.
