Summers can be hot in Barcelona! — AFP Relaxnews

Barcelona summers can be particularly hot. Fortunately, a handy tool has just launched online to help pedestrians find shady routes, places to shelter and drinking fountains in part of the Catalan capital, and at any time of day.

The city of Barcelona has launched a major plan to combat climate change through various measures and initiatives. One handy online tool offering a helping hand to pedestrians is Cool Walks. Rather than calculating routes based on available public transport or walking times, this practical online application calculates routes in relation to sun exposure.
