Title: Tourist offices in Barcelona are not all the same

April 2005

Hola

This month in Barcelona travel we'll be looking at the locations and services of the different tourist offices in Barcelona. You'll also find an excellent restaurant review from one site visitor. But to start with I'd like to introduce you to a new feature on the website. A five day weather forecast page.

What's the weather like in Barcelona?

Spring is in the air, everywhere you look around. And to mark the occasion I've undertaken a little Spring cleaning on our weather reports.

Until recently I'd been writing a weather report each day to give you the latest on how the weather had been behaving itself. However we've now implemented a fully automated weather reporting system on the site which updates every hour with information direct from Barcelona airport weather station.

The new 5 day forecast also includes the current weather conditions in Barcelona. You can review the weather reports either in Fahrenheit or Centigrade by clicking the relevant symbol next to the weather table.

Barcelona tourist offices

I know our site is pretty good at answering your pre-travel tourist information questions :-) However once you arrive in Barcelona you may find you need some additional information during your visit.

There are quite a number of Barcelona tourist offices dotted around the city centre. But did you know that they offer different services? This new article highlights where the tourist information offices are and gives further details on how each tourist office can help you.

Restaurant review - "El Convent" by site visitor Michaela Eyley (UK)

One thing which makes Barcelona-tourist-guide.com special and interesting to read are the reviews and feedback from our site visitors. Some people have even called out site "The people's tourist guide" which I think sums up our site well.

I am always very grateful when a site visitor acknowledges how our site helped them plan their trip and then takes the time to give a little back in the form of a review to benefit others (like you)

Writing a review of a restaurant is pretty easy to do and means that we can share your valuable feedback with all our new site visitors. But you do need to be a little prepared if you want to submit a good review.

Remember to take along a notepad to scribble down a few notes that will help with your article on your return. Nothing too serious here, just a few notes to jog your memory. What is the ambiance like? How did you find the food? What made the place special? All of these details are great to help visitors to Barcelona know just which restaurants to consider.

What makes Michaela's review particularly good is that she provided us with all the detailed information necessary to put the article together, including the address, telephone number and web site of the restaurant. Which is good news for all of you reading this!

How did Micahela get this information? She simply picked up a business card from the restaurant and took it home with her. Smart thinking Michaela!

So if you have not visited Barcelona yet (or even if you have) remember us! Submit a review on our feedback page. The link is on the site navigation Bar under the feedback section. It would be much appreciated!
