This app is designed as a convenient tool for tourists willing to visit Barcelona as it allows to easily locate the most important tourist sites on the city map.

Usage is straightforward:

• you can restrict the search to any number of city districts by selecting them on the left panel

• you can search the sites by name. The sites whose name matches the text will be shown on the map as you type

• if you click on a pin the corresponding site name, URL and description will be displayed on the page bottom

The Interactive Barcelona Tourist Map is a shiny application. It is based on two files:

ui.R

• implements the presentation logic and draws the user interface (UI)
• provides the interactivity with the user

server.R

• loads and parses data, implements the business logic
• sends data to the UI

When the user interacts with the application, the server side perform the necessary calculations and sends the updated data to the user interface.
