MEET THE CITY THROUGH THE EYES OF AN INHABITANT: SERIES OF CITY MAPS

How to get to know a city properly when visiting the place as a tourist? Wouldn’t it be great to have a friend in every city you visit to be your personal guide who points out the best place to be kissed or to be melancholic?

In Murcia and Cartagena a small group of people was asked to answer a set of questions about their favorite locations and places in their home town. What is the best place to create an echo? Where can you eat the best tapa in town? Al these answers are incorporated in ‘personalized’ maps, creating a new way to discover an unfamiliar city.
