How it works

Updated: 2026-05-09

cercademi is a directory for finding what's near you, anywhere in Spain. No signup, nothing to install.

Three steps

  1. Tell us what you need. A category (pharmacies, gas stations), a known brand, or a specific place. Search is free text.
  2. Share your location. The Near me button asks your browser for your location. It's used only to sort the nearest places first.
  3. Open in Maps. Every place has a Get directions button that opens Google Maps with the route ready. One tap.

Where the data comes from

Places come from OpenStreetMap (open data maintained by a huge community) and from public-sector sources where they're available. We refresh when upstream updates land; the most recent refresh date is in /datos.

Your location

We use only what's needed to sort places by proximity. Enabling GPS makes a single query to the database with your coordinates and is discarded immediately. If you'd rather not grant permission, an approximate IP-based geolocation covers most cases.

Save and return

Tap the bookmark icon to save a place. It lives in this browser only — no account. Clearing browser storage erases it. Cross-device sync will arrive via an account-less QR pairing.

For businesses

If you run a business listed here, you can claim its page from /negocios. Free verification, self-serve coming soon.
