Barcelona is raising the tourist tax in-2023). Let’s count how much we will pay in 2023 💶
The tax will increase within two years. The amount will depend on where the tourist lives and will only be charged on official accommodation. Now travelers pay 4 € per night for rent. The tax is increased for five-star hotels.
The first increase will take place on April 1st, at first the citywide tax will be 2.75€ per night, a year later it will rise to 3.25€. For a weekly five-star stay, you will have to pay 47.25 €. Cruise passengers spending more than 12 hours in the city will pay €4.75.
The city continues to suffer and struggle with overtourism. 32 million tourists visit Barcelona every year. With the tax, the authorities hope to attract more «quality» tourists instead of «mass» and earn 53 million euros. This money is planned to be spent on improving the city’s infrastructure, roads, buses and city services.

More than 1/3 of the food ends up in the trash
At Too Good To Go, you can buy food from a restaurant nearby at a discounted price. Not just food, but groceries and desserts that didn’t make the day’s sale.
Works like a regular food ordering app. You can buy food at a time designated by the restaurant.
The bag with food is called Surprise Bag, each of them saves 2.5 kg of carbon dioxide — as much as it takes to charge 440 smartphones. If you are an eco-conscious owner of a café, bakery, pub or hotel, you can sell off leftovers through the app and increase the visibility of your business.

Three villages outside Spain⚡️
Spain has completed 2022 grandly, with three of its villages included in the ranking of the best villages for tourism around the world, compiled by the UN World Tourism Organization.
> Rupit, where streets and houses carved in stone surround a 10th-century castle. Сome here for the spirit of the Middle Ages, this place used to be a crossroads of the main Roman roads. Come and see the wooden suspension bridge and walk through the Collsacabra protected area.
> Alquesar is located on a limestone ledge. The settlement here was formed around a medieval castle. Walking through the narrow streets, you’ll find the rugged Sierra y Cañones de Gura Natural Park, where you can parachute and rock climb.
> The third place is Guadalupe in the Extremadura region. The village is known for its monastery of Santa Maria de Guadalupe. The place is also famous for its cuisine: Iberian sausages, cold soup «Ahoblanco» and chicken with peppers and tomatoes.

Next year (in its first half) a gastronomic market from Time Out will open in Barcelona 🌮
The food and cultural market will gather under one roof all the best that the Catalan capital is known for. It is based on a simple idea: the editors and experts of Time Out choose the best food, drinks and cultural events that the city offers, and then gather them together and make them available to everyone. By the way, you can go to such a market in Lisbon.
The location has been chosen as the observation deck of the Maremagnum shopping center. There will be 14 different cuisines, 1 full restaurant, 2 bars inside and 2 outside overlooking the city.
