About

Listoria Labs and Listoria both started with us. We're Stefano and Cristina, two Italian expats living in Madrid who also happen to work in tech. It all began with a scene that kept repeating itself.

Whenever someone came to visit, the questions were always the same: “Can you send me some tapas bars?”, “Where do they make a good paella?”. And off went dozens of messages full of links, which inevitably got lost and had to be sent all over again.

Map apps didn't help much: they're built first and foremost for finding places on a map. That's where the idea came from: make something simple and straightforward.

Then we realized we needed it too. Whenever we ran out of ideas for what to do, we'd have loved to go back to a place we'd already tried. “But which one?”, “What was it called?”, “And when had we been there?”

And it's not just about places. Friends and colleagues swap TV series and travel tips all the time... and the next day you remember one recommendation, but rarely all of them.

So here it is: Listoria, for us and for you!
