Located alongside the Mediterranean, Barcelona, is the capital of the autonomous community of Catalonia, the second-most populated municipality in Spain and the core of the fifth-most populous urban area in the Europe. Our data center in Barcelona is our 3rd in the Iberian Peninsula following our deployments in Madrid and Lisbon, our 28th in Europe, and 101st globally. This means not only better performance in Catalonia and Spain, but additional redundancy for European data centers. As of this moment, Cloudflare has a point of presence (PoP) in 7 out of Europe's 10 most populous urban areas, and with number 8 coming soon (all roads have been said to lead there…).

Cloudflare has connected to the Catalunya Neutral Internet Exchange (“CATNIX”). This raises the number of exchanges that Cloudflare is a participant in to over 150. As we expand our peering, more visitors get served locally. If you wish to connect with us at CATNIX (or any of our other locations) you can find our peering details on our PeeringDB profile.

Only a few weeks ago, we announced data center locations in 14 new cities across 5 continents. Today: Barcelona. We’re not done yet! Like Barcelona's La Sagrada Familia basilica, our network is constantly being worked on. As we approach the end of 2016, we have lots more exciting announcements up our sleeve. Keep your eyes on this page as our network continues to expand.

After a drubbing earlier today of La Roja by The Flying Dutchmen, we felt obliged to deliver at least one piece of good news to the 34 million fútbol loving Internet users in Spain: CloudFlare's 25th data center in Madrid, Spain.

"We figured the only thing that could help the Spanish get over such a stinging defeat was a faster Internet," explained Matthew Prince, Co-founder and CEO of CloudFlare. "We're happy to do our small part in easing the malaise."

With the World Cup now in full swing, it is with fury (or as we refer to it: La Furia Naranja) that we commence our latest round of data center additions in celebration of many of the great fútbol nations. By the time we finish we will have launched four new data centers serving over 200 million fútball-loving Internet users.

Despite the loss, it isn't over for the reigning world (and European) champions. Anyone that follows the Spanish national team knows its tiki-taka style of play characterized by short passing, patience and possession above all else. At CloudFlare, we take the tiki-taka strategy to heart with unrelenting focus on short (network) hops, strong backbone and availability above all else.

With Madrid now live, internet traffic previously routed through Paris and London will stay much closer to Plaza Mayor. For those counting, Madrid brings us to 9 data centers in Europe including (in order of launch) Amsterdam, Paris, Frankfurt, London, Vienna, Prague, Stockholm and Warsaw.

Ready for some more jogo bonito? In homage to our favorite Spanish pop sensation, David Bisbal, start waving your flag...

Tras de la paliza histórica de “La Roja” por parte de “La Naranja Mecánica”, nos sentimos obligados a ofrecer al menos una buena noticia para los 34 millones de usuarios de Internet en España: Presentamos el centro de datos #25 de CloudFlare en Madrid, España.

"Nos dimos cuenta de que lo único que podría ayudar a los españoles olvidar semejante derrota era un Internet más rápido", explicó Matthew Prince, Co-fundador y CEO de CloudFlare. "Estamos contentos de hacer nuestra pequeña parte para aliviar este malestar."

Con la Copa del Mundo en pleno apogeo, es con furia (o como lo llamamos: La Furia Naranja) que comenzamos nuestra mas reciente ronda de expansión en celebración de las grandes naciones Futbolísticas. Al finalizar esta ronda habremos puesto en marcha cuatro nuevos centros de datos que sirven a más de 200 milliones de usuarios de Internet(y fanáticos del Futbol).

Pese a esta derrota, no todo ha terminado para el actual campeón del mundo (y de Europa-UEFA). Cualquier persona que sigue a la selección española conoce su estilo tiki-taka caracterizado por pases cortos, paciencia y por encima de todo tiempo de posesión. En CloudFlare, también adoptamos la estrategia tiki-taka con un enfoque implacable en reducir saltos en la conexiones, fortalecer el backbone de la red y alta disponibilidad por encima de todo.

Con Madrid activo en nuestra red, el tráfico de Internet que previamente enrutaba hacia París y Londres se quedará mucho más cerca a la Plaza Mayor. Para aquellos que estén contando, con Madrid sumamos a 9 centros de datos en Europa, incluyendo (en orden de lanzamiento) de Ámsterdam, París, Frankfurt, Londres, Viena, Praga, Estocolmo and Varsovia.

Y no termina aquí, muy pronto tendremos mas jogo bonito. En homenaje a nuestro ídolo pop favorito, David Bisbal, comiencen a Agitar las Banderas.
