Several years ago I had a blog called Eat Barcelona that I used to review all the restaurants I had frequented here. It was a surprising success and had a lot of visitors. I continued to tweak it, migrated to WordPress and it carried on, however I lost it entirely during a denial of service attack on the hosting company (my fault, it was something like 5 euros for 500 years of hosting).
I’ve thought a lot about relaunching it and finally I’ve got EatBarcelona.com up and running again, this time it is not a personal blog but a site where anybody can add and review a restaurant in Barcelona.
Please take a look and tell me what you think, register and review restaurants! You can add your own restaurants but if this seems to much like hard work I can add them for you and send you back the link for you to review (you’ll need to send me your list of restaurants that you want adding).
On a technical note the site has been made with Drupal by Javier and the crew at Alquimia.

Through Antonio Mas’s blog about recent movement of Internet Companies in Spain, I found an interesting Barcelona start-up called LemonQuest.
They are a mobile games and apps company, their main customers being the big mobile networks. Check out their product catalogue.

With the Schibsted buying Trader’s southen european assets, including Anutntis and Inojobs and the recent TA Associates buyout of eDreams, Barcelona is starting to become a place where large International internet companies are based.
VistaPrint is going to base their european operations here – see the job ads in Infojobs.
We also have theYahoo! Research Center which although small is cool to have and brings some tech talent here. We need some of the big media companies that are in Barcelona to make suitably large acquisitions and then we might be able to call ourselves an important european Internet center.
Have I missed any other big International company?
