Facebook in Barcelona: families, the metro area and local services

Barcelona families are spread across the Àrea Metropolitana, from L’Hospitalet de Llobregat and Badalona to Cornellà, Castelldefels, Sant Cugat and Mataró, and further out to Terrassa and Sabadell in the Vallès. Each town has its own casals, sports clubs and family associations (AFAs) with active Facebook Pages.

Neighbours use town groups to ask for a plumber who knows old Eixample buildings, a music teacher or a bakery that takes orders for the mona de Pasqua, and businesses that are recommended there get a steady flow of calls.

Many older residents read Catalan and Spanish, and a Page that switches naturally between the two feels local.

Catalonia has its own holidays, including Easter Monday, Sant Joan on 24 June, the Diada on 11 September and Sant Esteve on 26 December, and Barcelona adds La Mercè on 24 September. Every barri and town also holds a festa major with castells, correfocs and street meals.

We plan posts around the dates your customers actually live by: the coca and cava orders before the revetlla de Sant Joan, the mona cakes at Easter, calçotada bookings from January to March and the Caga Tió and Sant Esteve meals at Christmas. Each festa major gets a post for the barri or town it belongs to, so a bakery in Gràcia and a restaurant in Badalona are not posting the same thing. Facebook Events suit music-school concerts, casal workshops and tastings. We prepare posts your staff can share in town groups where businesses are welcome. Messenger questions are answered in the hours you agree, and complaints go to you. Posts are in Catalan, Spanish or both, approved by a native speaker on your side. Tradespeople who renovate modernista flats can post before-and-after photos with the owner’s permission. Each month you see reach, messages and calls by area, from the Eixample to the Vallès.

• Metro-area posts. Separate posts for L’Hospitalet, Badalona, Sant Cugat or the Vallès.
• Festes majors. A post for each barri and town festival you serve.
• Catalan calendar. Sant Joan, the Diada, La Mercè and Sant Esteve hours.
• Seasonal orders. Mona, coca and calçotada booking posts.

About Barcelona’s economy

Barcelona is the capital of Catalonia and a major centre for tourism, trade fairs (Fira de Barcelona hosts the Mobile World Congress), design, technology and logistics through the Port of Barcelona, one of the busiest in the Mediterranean. Many technology companies have offices in the El Poblenou neighbourhood.

What local customers respond to:

• Hospitality and tourism: visitor content in English, with care around local sensitivities about over-tourism.
• Tech and start-ups in Poblenou: hiring and product content on LinkedIn.
• Design, fashion and food brands: architecture-led visuals and local stories.
