Overpass Turbo: why is this way missing from the results

Help and support

I’m trying to obtain a list of ways with the tourism=guest_house tag in a specific region.

This query returns results as expected:

[out:json][timeout:25];
{{geocodeArea:"Les Preses"}}->.searchArea;
nwr["tourism"="guest_house"](area.searchArea);
out geom;

{{style:
node,way,relation {
  text:name;
}
}}

This query, which searches in a bigger area encompassing that of the previous query, is missing one result: this way.

[out:json][timeout:25];
{{geocodeArea:"La Garrotxa"}}->.searchArea;
nwr["tourism"="guest_house"](area.searchArea);
out geom;

{{style:
node,way,relation {
  text:name;
}
}}

I feel I must be missing something obvious, as the second query should only be a superset of the first one. And whose results would include also all results from the first one. Any insight will be appreciated. Thanks!

La Garrotxa | OpenStreetMap finds Relation: ‪Parc Natural de la Zona Volcànica de la Garrotxa‬ (‪4594406‬) | OpenStreetMap

Les Preses | OpenStreetMap finds Relation: ‪les Preses‬ (‪345216‬) | OpenStreetMap

Way: ‪la Cantina‬ (‪1309156351‬) | OpenStreetMap is NOT within first area and is within second

are you sure about this? Which areas you expected to be used?

That was it, thanks! The area is defined as “Garrotxa” in OSM. This is the one I was looking for: Relation: ‪Garrotxa‬ (‪2806999‬) | OpenStreetMap

This query now returns the expected results:

[out:json][timeout:25];
{{geocodeArea:"Garrotxa"}}->.searchArea;
nwr["tourism"="guest_house"](area.searchArea);
out geom;

{{style:
node,way,relation {
  text:name;
}
}}
