I have been in several countries as a Google local guide but there were experiences better than others and there was one which is to my opinion. It was in Salamanca, Spain a couple of years ago. I noticed that Tourists don’t see everything they shall look at when having a visit, and they did not always go with their group at the best restaurants of the city, of the old city of Salamanca. So I uploaded many pictures of the Cathedral of Salamanca, especially what was not really observed, the very beautiful unseen decoration and objects of the Cathedral, and the second thing I did, was to describe the best places where to have lunch and dinner. For this I tried all the restaurants of the old city and I did describe “The tapas of Gonzalo” as the very best one for two reasons : the best Spanish food and the best desserts I ever had, with pink chocolate, and the point is that I don’t succeed to find it in Paris, so, yes, I have insisted on this Cathedral and this restaurant to help people to have the best experience on travel in Spain.
