Entries on this list

This page lists the chess clubs in Barcelona and the towns around it that we could tie to a public source: a club website, a federation listing, a council page or a dated post. Club names stay as the clubs write them, so Catalan forms such as Club d'Escacs or Penya d'Escacs sit next to Spanish ones such as Club de Ajedrez.

Access differs from club to club. A room may be open to anyone on club evenings, welcome visitors, or be kept for members; each card says which, when a source does. Where the sources are silent, the card says so, and a message to the club is the safer step before you turn up with your own set.
