Mapping food banks in Spain with CartoDB

I was looking for information about food banks in Spain, but the only reliable source I could find was the FESBAL website. To collect more data, I decided to create a project to map all food banks in Spain using CartoDB. With Python and BeautifulSoup, I scraped data from FESBAL's website and imported it into a CartoDB table. I then used CartoDB's georeference tool to automatically geocode the addresses of the food banks. Next, I created a visualization of the map and played with the wizards to customize the appearance. The resulting map was embedded on a website created with Sinatra using Foundation CSS for the layout. The web also integrated with CartoDB using SQL API, allowing visitors to add more food banks. New food banks can be added by submitting data in a specific format, which is explained in the code snippet. The project is available online and can be used for free on my GitHub account.
