CORRECTIONS ARE THE USEFUL ONES
Corrections first: what has changed since the page was written

What is worth pointing out
Corrections, above everything. A line changes its stops, a house museum rearranges its visits, a basilica changes its entry rules, a tram stops running. If you have just been and something here did not match, that is worth more than any amount of desk research.
Especially useful: anything about arriving and moving around, such as the airport rail links, the metro tickets and the timed entry at the Park Güell and the Gaudí houses, which are the parts of this guide most likely to go stale.
What this is not for
It is not a booking service. This site sells nothing and books nothing, and cannot get you a room, a table, a concert seat or a ticket; those are booked with the operators themselves.
It cannot tell you what something costs or when it opens: no price or opening time appears anywhere on this site, because the operator is the only source that is right on the day. In an emergency anywhere in Spain, call the European emergency number, 112.
The neighborhoods
If a page describes a place, a street or a piece of the city's history in a way that is wrong or unfair, that matters here too, and it will be corrected. This guide does not label any neighborhood as good or bad, because such labels are rarely accurate and never useful.
Photographs
Every photograph on this site is credited beside it, and every credit links to the file's own page on Wikimedia Commons, where its author, its license and its history are recorded.
Photographs are replaced when a better or more recent one of the same place turns up, and captions are corrected when they describe the frame wrongly.
