Hello Dani, I hope you will reach out to the Pangea group in Catalunya. They represent iEARN in Catalunia and are pioneers in community networking. They were one of the first "Centers" in iEARN, dating from 1989 and were the APC node in Spain. http://www.pangea.org/
They hosted our international conference in 1997. Good luck and feel free to use my name.
