About the project

Pueblos Españoles is a directory of all 8,186 municipalities in Spain. Each one gets its own page with practical information: history, geography, local food, festivals, nature and how to get there. The goal is simple: make it easy to find and learn about any village in the country, from the well-known ones to those that barely appear on a map.

Who's behind this

My name is Javier E. Ramón. I'm a baker by trade. About a year ago, in my spare time, I started looking into the smaller municipalities of Spain — the ones that rarely show up in travel guides. I wanted to understand what each place was actually like: its geography, its food, its festivals, the number of people who live there.

What began as a personal research habit turned into something bigger. With the help of AI tools to speed up the research and structuring of public data, I managed to build a directory that now covers every single municipality in Spain — a curious baker with an internet connection and an open mind.

How we work

Every article on this site goes through a four-step editorial process. For a full breakdown of our data sources, see Sources and methodology.

1. Research. We gather data from official sources — INE (national statistics), town councils, regional tourism portals — and complement them with AI-assisted web research.
2. Drafting. Initial drafts are generated with AI assistance, structured around verifiable local data: population figures, altitude, notable landmarks, local dishes.
3. Review. Every article goes through human editorial review. We check facts, remove filler, and make sure the information is accurate and useful.
4. Publication. Automated quality checks flag issues (broken links, missing data, low-quality language). A final human approval is required before anything goes live.
