Barcelona, in your pocket since 2002.

Miniguide is Barcelona's city guide, curated by locals: a pocket magazine since 2002, now fully digital. Every week it lists what is on today and the places worth the walk, from galleries to brunch.

We have built its digital side twice. In 2016, the first website, the editorial CMS and API, and a React Native app with two views, Events and Places, that shows what is still open today and what is near you. Since 2024 we have been rebuilding it: the back end moved to AdonisJS and PostgreSQL, a new CMS for the editors, a new website in Nuxt, and the infrastructure on AWS, managed as code with Pulumi.
