Fix pass after the batch's independent check. Every source cited for an address, opening hours or a price was re-opened — the tourist office practical page, the town services page, the coworking operator, the events calendar, the market listing, the bus fare card, Wikipedia, the asking-price index, the Catalan tax agency and the central bank rate file — and all addresses, hours, prices and figures were confirmed on those pages, so no item text changed. Country facts were checked against the Spain country prep and read the same as in the other Spanish cities. Only the researcher name and the verification date were updated to this run.
