BarrioWise is an independent site about where to stay in Spain and Portugal, neighbourhood by neighbourhood. This page is for affiliate programs, networks and brands that want to know how we work before approving or partnering with us.
The site in numbers
These figures are counted automatically from the site’s own data every time it is built:
- Guides
- 8
- Languages
- 11
- Destinations
- 6
- Prices last checked
- 18 Oct 2026
We don’t publish visitor numbers until we have a meaningful track record to report. The site is new, and we would rather show nothing than show a figure we can’t stand behind. Ask us and we will share our analytics directly.
Who reads us
Our readers are travellers choosing an area before they book a hotel or apartment: who each neighbourhood suits, noise, transport and airport transfers, and the local tourist tax. Every guide is published in 11 languages, so we reach travellers across Europe in their own language, not only in English.
What we publish
We publish neighbourhood guides for Barcelona, Madrid, Lisbon, Porto, Seville and Málaga, with deep links to accommodation in the exact area we recommend. Every price shows the date we checked it, and we recheck prices regularly. How we do it is described on How we research.
How we place affiliate links
- Every page with affiliate links carries a disclosure at the top, and the full policy is on our affiliate disclosure page.
- Links go through our own redirect (
/go/…) and are markedrel="sponsored nofollow noopener". - We link to the specific product, hotel area or plan we discuss, not to a generic home page.
- We don’t bid on brand keywords, run paid ads to affiliate links, use cashback or incentivised traffic, publish fake coupons, or send email blasts.
- We don’t invent reviews, ratings or personal test results. When we haven’t used a product ourselves, we say where the information comes from.
Programs we work with
We currently link to Booking.com, Expedia, Hotels.com, Vrbo, Agoda, Trip.com, Hostelworld and Holidu, mostly through affiliate networks. We are interested in hotels, apartments, hostels and airport transfers that fit our readers. Commissions never decide our rankings or recommendations.
