How it works
From poster to page
The path an event takes to appear here — and what we check at each step.
1. Find
Events come from three sources: official calendars of municipalities and public entities, submissions from organizers and the public, and our own editorial research.
2. Verify
When a source exists, we confirm date, time, location, and price on the original page and save what it said at that moment. This way, if the source changes or disappears, it remains possible to understand what we based ourselves on.
When there is no source — many local festivals, pilgrimages, and markets have no page at all — we still publish, but the page states that there is no external source to cite.
3. Structure
Each event is stored as data, not as text: dates separated from the location, the location separated from the coordinates, the description separated from the translations. That is what allows filtering, mapping, and translating without duplicating anything.
What we do not know remains unknown. An unknown end time is left blank; it is not filled with an estimate.
4. Translate
Titles and descriptions are translated into the nine languages of the site. Translations change only the text — never dates, prices, addresses, or links. Proper names of festivals remain in the original.
5. Maintain
Ended events are automatically removed from the lists. Anyone can flag an error using the report button on each page, and corrections are reviewed by a person.
