We decided to do this because of the impact it can have with visitors to Barcelona and in Europe in general. This is a game-changer by solving several communication and wifi and hotspot problems most encounter when visiting. We discuss how most are overpaying when it comes to purchasing data, families staying connected and how to stay in communication with your family back home or unfortunately, work. Up to 10 devices can connect to this little powerhouse. Surprisingly, the creative business model of wifiTAKEAWAY has created is economical and easy to use service. Here is an affiliate link. This does not change the price of the service (because sometimes the service can be free if you choose) but wifiTAKEAWAY thanks us by passing on a small commission if you use the service. Thank you.

Welcome to the first episode of UnCommon Tourist. We are going to start off this podcast talking about our equivalent of the Valentine's day. Saint George's Day or as its known here.

This podcast is about the Uncommon Tourist. Those who are not afraid of different, those who want to learn the local dives, who want the adventure of making a wrong turn and getting lost. Therefore, we are going to talk about nooks and crannies. Yes, we will talk about popular places too. But we are not going to just skim the top we are going to dive a bit deeper. We are going to talk history, politics, social movements, gastronomy, both awesome and odd traditions, the artist, the protests that keep the EU in the news, the do´s, the dont´s, hidden gems, misconceptions, music, drugs, the underground, different lifestyles, and of course have some fun along the way.
