So to show the importance of having mobile-friendly sites... ...we helped businesses and landmarks in Barcelona Go Mobile!

Welcome to Barcelona. City of culture, home of Gaudi and the Mobile World Capital.

For the opening of Mobile World Congress in February 2012, Invest in Catalonia, with the support of the Government of Catalonia and the City of Barcelona worked with Google to mobilize the city.

To get the initiative started, we built mobile sites for 26 of the leading tourist attractions, businesses and services in Barcelona. You can explore these sites here.

If you want to make a commitment to a better mobile experience for your customers and your city, make sure you sign up to Go Mobile!
