Mark Knopfler Barcelona 2013

Posted on September 11, 2012January 2, 2014 by Barcelona Guide

2013 will for sure be a great year in Barcelona, and one of the reasons is the fact that Mark Knopfler will come to town on July 25th. The Mark Knopfler concert will be arranged in the popular concert venue Poble Espanyol, and since it is in the middle of the summer the concert will start in typical Spanish summer time, meaning at 22.00 in the evening. Hopefully this will just be positive, even for Mark Knopfler who by then will have reached an age of 63 years. This legendary musician, singer and song writer has had an amazing career with Dire Straits and also a super solo career, Now he is out touring Europe again and in 2013 he will visit Berlin, Munich, Amsterdam, Barcelona, Madrid, Budapest, Bratislava and lots of other cities.

If you want to be at one of these Mark Knopfler concerts you can buy tickets to them using the links further down on this page. These tickets are re-selled, which means that even though the official ticket pages are sold out of tickets, you will still find free tickets at these pages.

Do not forget to bring some sun tan as you come to Barcelona in July, because it can get really, really hot and you do not want to be totally red as you stand in line to get into the Mark Knopfler concert on July 25th.

How can I get a Spanish IP address?

Posted on August 1, 2012May 5, 2017 by Barcelona Guide

How can I get a Spanish IP address? I need it to be able to watch online Spanish tv broadcasts only available to viewers in Spain, thus having a Spanish ip address.

Thank you for the question. The solution to your problem is quite easy but it costs some money. There are several services available online able to give you local Spanish ip addresses and one of those is HideMyAss. With this software you can get local ip addresses in more than 39 nations and in that way you can watch programs only available to viewers with local ip addresses in those nations, so also in Spain. This can be very useful during Olympic tournaments, soccer championships and other sports events and happenings. This means that if you later would like to see broadcasts from other nations outside Spain, for example in England, this software can be used for that as well.

If you have other ideas or feedback just write a comment.

Visit the HideMyAss webpage.

Such an IP address can be useful also for other things, and it is created through a VPN connecting you to a server in Spain. A VPN is a Virtual Private Network, and as you create an account and connect to such a server it will for example encrypt all data sent, making it impossible for people to steal information from you. This can be especially useful if you for example use public networks, WiFi and so on. So instead of having all your data easy to steal, connect to the open WiFi, use the VPN and suddenly all your data is encrypted and safe. You can find more information about these services and so on the HideMyAss webpage, so look it up for further information on the subject.
