As an increasing number of us flitter and Twitter our lives away on the world wide web, updating our numerous social networking profiles, fighting hordes of ghoulies and goblins on World of Warcraft, transferring injured players out of our Fantasy Football team, and even occasionally checking our work email account (when all time-wasting devices have been exhausted), it has become increasingly important to be able to log on to the internet at a moment's notice wherever we are in the world. WiFi was of course technology's answer to every geek's saucy dream: but whereas the wide availability of Wi-Fi hotspots is a given in most civilised cities, Modernism in Barcelona is sadly confined to the 20th century sense of the word - only a small percentage of venues in BCN come fully WiFi equipped.
All the more reason at least for Barcelona Life to compile a handy list of WiFi bars and cafes around the city where you can reliably access the internet, Tweet your little toes off and tell everyone back home how ridiculously good the weather is. As usual if you've got a suggestion don't hesistate to contact us. 
WiFi Hotspots in Barcelona
La Clandestina
Viladecols 2 bis
A real b@gger to find (as the name suggests) La Clandestina is located in the backstreets of the Gothic Quarter and can be safely filed as a hidden WiFi gem. Good connection, no passwords required, and a chic Boho crowd to rub laptops with.
London Bar
C/Nou de la Rambla 34
This century-old boozer in Raval was once patroned by Senor Hemingway himself, and if you're planning to pen your own magnus opus (Farewell to Sobriety?) you'll have the luxury of doing so in between games of Counter Strike.
Belchica
C/Villarroel 69
With fifty Belgian beers at your disposal you may forget why you came, but if you stick from the path of temptation you should be able to get some work done at this WiFi-enabled bar, popular with ex-pats. In Eixample by Urgell metro station.
More WiFi bars, cafes and restaurants coming soon...! | | | |
