About The Barcelona Wire

The Barcelona Wire is an independent English-language news site for people who live in, move to or spend time in Barcelona. We report Barcelona and Catalonia news first, then the Spanish and world stories that change daily life here, and publish practical explainers on residency paperwork, housing, transport, money and healthcare, checked against official sources such as the Ajuntament de Barcelona, the Generalitat de Catalunya and the Spanish government. Articles are prepared by the The Barcelona Wire editors with the help of AI tools; we are not lawyers or tax advisers, so confirm decisions about your own residency or taxes with the official office or a licensed professional.

How we work

Every article is based on official guidance, published research and reporting by established outlets. News stories list their sources; guides link to the official pages they rely on. We do not claim hands-on testing we have not done, and we do not invent experts, quotes or reviews. Articles are prepared by the The Barcelona Wire editors with the help of automation and AI tools and pass quality checks before publication: figures must match the sources, wording must be original, and off-topic or low-value stories are rejected. Details are in our editorial policy.

Who runs The Barcelona Wire

The Barcelona Wire is owned and operated by a small independent publisher based in the Czech Republic and written for readers in the United States and other English-speaking countries. We are not affiliated with any brand or organization. How the site is funded: ownership and funding.
