Barcelona – Atletico Madrid

Posted on January 27, 2016October 3, 2016 by Barcelona Guide

On January 30th it is time for one of the hottest matches throughout the entire Liga BBVA season and that is the match on Camp Nou between Barcelona and Atletico Madrid. At the moment it is even hotter than the matches between Barcelona and Real Madrid, after all both Barcelona and Atletico Madrid are at the top of the La Liga table with 48 points, four points ahead of Real Madrid.

If you want to be there at Camp Nou to actually watch the match then you can read more about FC Barcelona and how to get tickets here. If you do not have money enough to buy yourself a ticket for the match or maybe you are far away from Barcelona, then you can still watch it online and here you can find two different pages describing how you can watch the match online: version 1 – version 2.

Do not be surprised if you will see thousands of football fans walking the streets of Barcelona on Saturday, and especially some hours before 16.00 and after 18.00, because that is when the fans make their way to Nou Camp and leave the stadium after the match.

If you have never been to Nou Camp and never seen Barcelona play a match live then that is something you should for sure check out and try, because it is an experience you will remember for a long time, almost better than Christmas eve!

Have fun watching, and if you have some spare time, make sure to visit the famous attractions and cool museums in Barcelona!

Who will broadcast Euro 2016 in Spain?

Posted on November 18, 2015 by Barcelona Guide

That is a brilliant question, but it seems at the moment as if we do not actually have an answer to your question! Because, based on the list on Wikipedia and the list in the IP Address Guide presenting the different broadcasters of the Euro 2016 to be played in France next year in June and July there are no broadcasters listed for Spain.

That does not mean that Euro 2016 will not be broadcasted in Spain, but it means that it might not be 100% sure yet which TV channel will actually broadcast the tournament. However, as you look through the list of Euro 2016 broadcasters you can notice that it looks very similar to the channels that broadcasted from the World Cup in Brazil in 2014, and if that is true, then the Euro 2016 will be broadcasted in general by Gol 1 ( a Pay TV channel), but some matches, at least those in which Spain play and some more will be broadcasted on free Spanish channels such as Telecinco and Cuatro.

There is therefore no need to worry, and if you want to watch the Euro 2016 with English speaking commentators instead, then you can of course watch all the action live on BBC and ITV in the United Kingdom, just like during the World Cup in Brazil in 2014. If you click the links you can find out more about how you can watch the mentioned channels in the UK live online, also in Spain!

With yesterdays matches the teams qualified for the Euro 2016 is also ready, so now we just have to wait for the groups to be ready in December and then we can start preparing for the highlight of the summer in 2016 which will be the European Championship in France.

Netflix has arrived!

Posted on October 20, 2015 by Barcelona Guide

We have had quite a lot of people coming to our Barcelona Guide asking the question whether it is possible to watch Netflix in Spain or not. For a long time the answer has been kind of negative, but that has changed today!

Because, as of today Netflix has arrived to Spain and to Barcelona, meaning that you can now sign up and create a Netflix account and start watching all the beloved Netflix content, also in Spain. Because, for a long time it has been impossible to watch Netflix in Spain, or it could only be done in the same way as you now for example watch HBO Now in Spain. So, if you follow the instructions at netflix.fromabroad.org you could watch Netflix in Spain until now, but luckily you are no longer in need of such instructions, because you can now simply go ahead and start watching without using any sorts of VPNs or Smart DNS services.

It is not such a big thing for Netflix to launch in Spain, because since Netflix is available in for example Mexico all content is already made available in Spanish, meaning that both dubbing and subtitles are ready, so now you can watch House of Cards and Orange Is The New Black on Netflix in Spain, with spanish subtitles and with spanish voices as well, if you would like that. Now you might miss those English subtitles if you are used to watching Netflix content with English subtitles, so to get those back you will need to jump to another Netflix region, but since you are in Spain you probably understand Spanish and thus you will have no problem watching Netflix content without English subtitles.

Have fun watching Netflix in Spain, available as of today!

Barcelona vs Bate Borisov

Posted on September 1, 2015October 3, 2016 by Barcelona Guide

On November 4th it is time for Bate Borisov to come to Barcelona and to Nou Camp to play against the fantastic team Barcelona. Few people believe that Bate Borisov will have any chance at all in this match, and that is probably true, so if you want to enjoy this fantastic stadium combined with players such as Suarez, Neymar and Messi, then go ahead and watch Barcelona vs Bate Borisov live on Nou Camp on November 4th.

To get a seat at the stadium you will of course need a ticket, and tickets for the match can be bought from WorldTicketShop. If you have time left after the match, or before the match, then you should also read in our Barcelona Guide about other recommended programs in Barcelona such as harbour cruises, guided tours, wine tasting programs, excursions and more.

And if you want more information on how you can watch Barcelona matches online, then we recommend that you visit www.watchligabbva.com where you can find information on Spanish football and of course how you can watch it online on your computer, tablet or mobile phone from all across the world!

Ps: If you want to watch the other Champions League matches in which Barcelona play in Barcelona, you can buy tickets for those matches as well from WorldTicketShop, meaning that you can find tickets for their matches against AS Roma on November 24th as well on that site.

Where to watch Bayern Munchen – Barcelona online?

Posted on May 7, 2015May 5, 2017 by Barcelona Guide

On May 12th it is time for Bayern Munchen to receive Barcelona for the return match in the semifinal of the Champions League. In the first match Barcelona managed to score three goals during the last ten minutes, meaning that there has got to be loads of goals and action in Munchen for Bayern to have a chance. So, this will be a really action filled match probably! But, if you can not be there in Munich for the match, what can you do to watch it online?

To watch Bayern Munchen play against Barcelona online you will need to get yourself an IP address in the United Kingdom, because that is what will make it possible for you to watch the match live online on ITV, the amazing TV channel with great commentators on the British Island. And to get yourself an IP address in the United Kingdom we recommend that you visit the website of HideMyAss, a VPN provider with their offices in the United Kingdom. They do have servers in more than 100 nations worldwide, but since they are located in England they do have great servers available in England, so you just need to download their program and connect to a server in the UK, and then you are ready to watch ITV live online and to watch Bayern Munchen vs Barcelona online on May 12th.

It might be that you will have to enter some postal codes for ITV to work. Read more about these postal codes and examples of such in this article.

Be aware of the fact that if you do this and sign up for HideMyAss you can use the same subscription on May 13th to watch Real Madrid vs Juventus online. The only difference is that you will then connect to a server in Germany and then you can watch the match on the German TV channel ZDF online.
