Wikipedia, the queen of the Internet

Most European countries have it clear when searching the Internet. There is a more obvious bet for Wikipedia. But Spain, as in many aspects, is different.
Searching on the Internet is one of the habits inherited from the beginning of the World Wide Web. We can find practically everything, now, which websites are the most visited around the world? If we focus on Europe it is clear that Spain is different, in 15 of the neighboring countries the most visited page on the Internet is Wikipedia, while in our country... yes, Marca.com.
The fact that Spain is a soccer country does not surprise anyone at this point, but the fact that it is the most visited website in global terms makes it clear that we are going one step further.
In the study, the online ranking with the most visits in each country was analyzed, but there is an integrated filter to remove the search engines, YouTube and Facebook that would dominate the results.
As we can see in the previous map, in no less than 15 European countries the most visited website is Wikipedia.org.
We mention for example countries like France, Italy, Portugal, Germany, Ireland or Switzerland among the 15 European countries in which Wikipedia.org is the most searched web page on the Internet.
It is interesting to highlight how in countries like the United Kingdom the most viewed page is BBC.co.uk, an information medium as it is also in Slovakia with RTVSLO.sl. However, in Spain, the most visited page is a page of, in theory, sports information.
If we categorize, in Spain the most visited website is Marca.com, the most visited information and news website as well. Si vamos a moda destaca Shein.com, in food Directoalpaladar.com and in banking topics, Caixabank.es.

Curious results all around the world

The studio takes into account the whole world and we are going to leave a small summary of the most interesting, for example in the United States, Amazon reigns as the web as well as Reddit in Canada or New Zealand.
Chile, México, Jamaica, South Africa, Egypt, Indonesia or Saudi Arabia stand out for their Twitter aficionados and Guatemala for Nintenderos, while in Argentina, they visit the shopping website mercadolibre.ar.
It is much less curious that the website visited in Madagascar will be the national website of the operator Orange or that in Nigeria it will be Apple.com.
In Venezuela, for example, we see how the most visited page is the website of BancodeVenezuela.com, and it is not surprising given its economic situation.
Another interesting fact is that Marca.com is not only the most visited website in Spain in general, if we filter it as news websites, it is also the most popular in Venezuela, El Salvador, Panama and Guatemala.
