A couple of weeks ago we launched, renewed, two important sections of our website: the events section and the home page. The events section had some problems that we have solved: in the general list the events that took place on several non-consecutive dates were repeated; now they only appear once. The other problem had to do with the section "Things to do in Barcelona today" that showed events that could not really be celebrated that day. This happened mostly in medium or long duration events. Also solved, and if the CCCB is closed on Monday its exhibitions will not be shown on Monday. As for home, now it is presented as a logical route to help visitors organize their trip to Barcelona.

If Movistar +, Netflix and others put us through the Internet in front of the television and mobile devices, Screenly takes us in front of the big screen.
