At Manilva WebSite we continue to look to the future… and to do so in a positive way. And if there is anyone who embodies that philosophy, it is our by now well-known Macario el Becario, always thinking about how to improve our municipality and make it more accessible to both residents and visitors.
Following the mysterious disappearance of the municipal tourism website, Macario did not think twice. With ingenuity, enthusiasm and many hours of work, he has launched a completely revamped new section, positive in tone and focused on tourism, called “Manilva mes a mes” (Manilva month by month).
A new way to discover Manilva
This new section gathers, in a clear, visual and well-organised way, all of the municipality’s most important festivals and events throughout the year.
In it you will find:
📅 Dates of each event
📍 Venues
📸 Representative images
📰 Latest related news
ℹ️ Detailed information on each festival
Everything is presented in an intuitive, practical and user-focused way, whether you are a resident or visiting Manilva for the first time.
Macario turns to Artificial Intelligence… and WhatsApp
But it does not stop there. Macario has decided to go one step further and venture into the world of Artificial Intelligence, taking charge of a new service that is already up and running: Replying on WhatsApp 24 hours a day.
From now on, anyone will be able to quickly and easily ask questions such as:
- Which is the duty pharmacy today?
- Can you give me the telephone number for the municipal registration office (padrón)?
- Where is the CIVIMA?
- When is San Juan?
- What is the Fiesta de la Luna Llena about?
- …and practically anything else you can think of.
That said, Macario asks for our understanding: “I’m in learning mode, but I promise to improve every day” 😄
We ask for a little patience in these first days of operation, although everything suggests that he will soon be offering ever quicker and more accurate answers.
👉 We encourage you to try it and put our most tech-savvy intern to the test on our WhatsApp.
News adapted to the new era
Another new feature is that all news articles now include links so that you can summarise their content with your favourite Artificial Intelligence, ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude…, one more way of adapting to how we consume information today.
Ready to grow: new server on the way
To support all this growth, a migration to a new server will take place in the coming days, which will allow us to:
⚡ Double the speed of the website
📈 Double the capacity
🔧 Keep evolving the platform
All with the aim of continuing to offer an increasingly useful and modern service.
An opportunity for businesses: sponsor a festival and help support Macario
And here is an interesting opportunity for the local business community.
With the launch of “Manilva mes a mes”, all the festivals are currently available for sponsorship and, for just €25 a month, any business can:
- Stand out as a sponsor of a local festival (within our content)
- Gain great visibility throughout the year
- Associate its brand with events that have high attendance
And with your support you will also be helping to:
- Maintain the technological infrastructure
- Keep improving the platform
- And help Macario keep replying 24/7 on WhatsApp 😄
Macario is now in charge
In short, Manilva WebSite takes another step towards digitalisation with a useful, approachable proposal designed for everyone.
And yes… we have left Macario in charge of WhatsApp, replying 24 hours a day. Will we be able to keep it going? Now only one thing remains: try it for yourself.
