Incorrect data or need of refraising

edit

Regarding the sentence "The marriage of Ferdinand II of Aragon and Isabella I of Castile in 1469 united the two royal lines. Madrid became the centre of political power whilst the colonization of the Americas reduced the financial importance (at least in relative terms) of Mediterranean trade", there is an issue. Madrid did not became the capital of Spain until much later and wasnt the capital of Isabella I of Castile. In fact was a small unimportant village at this time. It leads to confusion so I think refraising should be used. Also Colonization of the Americas happened through Seville which was granted exclusive rights. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.14.216.57 (talk) 09:21, 31 October 2024 (UTC)Reply

Barcelona does not have a dry season or wet season, as precipitation is distributed evenly throughout the year, and its seasons are related to temperatures rather than precipitation; spring and autumn are wetter, while summer and winter are drier. 2603:8001:B202:3294:4CA6:126E:A8B1:CE07 (talk) 21:28, 5 March 2024 (UTC)Reply

Dubious claims in the 'Tourism' section.

edit

To say that Barcelona has "one of the best beaches in the world" and a "moderate pickpocket rate" is, to put it kindly, rather fanciful (and extremely subjective). 176.85.135.155 (talk) 19:05, 8 March 2024 (UTC)Reply
