Have finished the crossword but can’t find what is to be highlighted! Any hints?

Jadzia, I am very unimpressed with this crossword. First of all 1 across should be (3,7). The preamble just doesn’t make sense. It implies 24ac is the location - if so what is the point of highlighting? I have The Prado for 24 which doesn’t feel right as it’s not the correct Spanish version - but it is a location. If 24ac is not the location I have no idea what it could be.

I really miss Antico as his crosswords were quirky with unusual grids and the theme always referred to an anniversary which was nice. This setter is too mainstream and (apart from the ending) these clues could easily have come out of the Telegraph. I don’t think I’ll bother with any more if this is what we are now going to get.

I have the same answers as you and am also in a quandary about highlighting 24a.To me , it suggests that there is a connection hidden somewhere else in the crossword but I can’t find anything!

Yes agreed - the problem is that ambiguous last sentence in the preamble - dreadful!
