Late listen

Listened to the show on way to Barcelona, but was well prepared for the trip because of it. SO much helpful information and tips! Thank you!

Comprehensive

I started listening to these episodes in preparation for a trip to Barcelona. There’s a lot of information and content and it seems well researched. It would have been handy to include pointers in each episode’s notes as listening (even at high speed) takes time. I did try the Cerca app referenced in the podcast but found navigation within the application clunky. To get the most of the content and suggestions listen and select well in advance.
