The short version
We get commissions for bookings made through our guides. Booking links, and any accommodation options shown on the page, are handled by a booking partner that adds commission tracking automatically. It never costs you more, and it never affects what we recommend.
How this site is funded
We work with Stay22, a booking partner that handles the accommodation and activity links on this site. When you follow one of those links and make a booking, the provider pays us a small commission. The price you pay is the same either way.
Nothing on this site is a paid placement. We are not paid to include a hotel, a restaurant or an attraction, and no partner sees an article before it is published. Where we recommend something, it is because we think it is worth your time.
Links to official ticketing, transport and city sources — Sagrada Família, TMB, Renfe, the Ajuntament de Barcelona — earn us nothing at all, and are there because they are the source that actually sets the number.
What this means for your data
Stay22 runs a script on this site that handles booking links, can show accommodation options of its own, and identifies your device so a booking can be credited to us. It does this using characteristics of your browser and device rather than a cookie, and it stores an identifier in your browser’s local storage (visitor_id_id22 and cache_id22). Because it is not a cookie, this site’s consent banner gates the script itself: decline marketing and Stay22 never loads, and withdrawing consent purges what it stored.
We never see your booking, your travel dates, your name or your payment details. What comes back to us is a count of clicks and, occasionally, the fact that a booking happened. There is more detail in our privacy policy.
