We're starting small, on purpose.

Awesome Barcelona launched with around 40 pages — now 69, and every department's core section is complete. Each card above still grows further from here — hundreds of listings, every neighborhood, every dish — without changing how the site is organized. New pages go up 2–3 times a week.
