Spain area guides

As you've probably noticed we never seem to sit still for very long.

We've been working on a new project for Eye on Spain and we're looking for your input during this development stage.

As the popularity of the website increases week on week (currently around 9,000 people visit the site every day) we are always looking to provide more and more content for the site. It's a big job!

One of the areas that we've always been lacking in is in having information about the different areas of Spain, towns, villages, cities, etc. So, I recently had the big idea that we should do some area guides covering as much of Spain as possible.

But I wanted to do something a bit different to what's already out there.

So we've started putting together some guides which include videos, photos, maps, hotels, weather and news.

However, the idea is that you, the users, will be able to add to these guides. You will be able to add your own comments, videos, photos, etc. The guides are for YOU so you should have a hand in what's in them.

In essence the area guides will grow dynamically the more that people contribute to them.

So today I wanted to show you where we're at with it and ask you to give us some feedback.

Do you like the idea?

Do you like the content?

Would you like to see other content on there?

What about a reviews section for restaurants, hotels, etc?

Do we include local businesses, clubs, societies, etc?

What about a "I'm in this area, let's be friends" section?

Rental listings, property listings?

I'm really just looking for some ideas before we finally open it up to enable you to contribute to the guides and make them public.

I would really appreciate your feedback. I want these to be the best, most informative, interactive and up-to-date Spain area guides on the Internet. With your input I think we can achieve that.

OK, see where we are now with this:
