"If I have four days to see Barcelona, I want to check off everything that everybody who goes to the city wants to do. I'm basically combining TripAdvisor and Atlas Obscura so that I'm going to the top five most important tourist things, and then also going to find the wax museum or the doorknob museum or the globe that's in a room the size of an apartment that some maniac built in the ’70s." -- Alex Ross Perry
