NINE SECTIONS. COUNTLESS STORIES. ONE EXTRAORDINARY SPAIN.
The Expat Press Club is more than a magazine. It is a love letter to Spain — written by the people who live here, arrive here, grow up here, fall in love here and occasionally still wonder why dinner starts at ten o’clock.
We do not only show you the Spain of postcards, palm trees and perfect sunsets — although we are very fond of those too. We introduce you to the real Spain: its people, cities, traditions, kitchens, fashion, celebrations, animals, laws, little secrets and wonderfully chaotic everyday life.
Our magazine is divided into nine major editorial sections. Each one opens the door to a different part of Spanish life.
Some will introduce you to remarkable people and their extraordinary stories. Others will take you into Spanish fashion, explain property and legal matters, discover the best restaurants, announce unforgettable events or show Spain through the eyes of children.
Our editorial dogs Cooper and Bootsmann will investigate life on four paws. Oh España! will help you understand Spanish logic and beautiful chaos. And our Golden Experts will prove that the second half of life may become the most exciting one yet.
Each section has its own personality, subjects and regular blogs. Together, they create a complete and very personal portrait of Spain.
This introductory story explains exactly what you can expect from every section — and where to find the stories that matter to you.
Welcome to the world of the Expat Press Club.
Nine sections. Countless discoveries. Spain from every possible perspective.
1. PEOPLE & STORIES
EVERY PERSON. EVERY PLACE. EVERY STORY MATTERS.
Behind every remarkable person and every extraordinary company, there is a story worth telling.
People & Stories introduces the people, families, founders, creatives, characters and companies whose journeys inspire, surprise or deeply move us.
These are not ordinary portraits or polished success stories. We look behind the public image and discover the real moments: the courage it took to begin, the obstacles nobody saw, the unexpected turns, the failures, the comebacks and the passion that changed everything.
Some stories belong to private individuals who have lived an extraordinary life. They may have moved to Spain and started again, overcome a difficult chapter, changed their lives completely or found their true place after years of searching.
Others take us behind the doors of companies, hotels, restaurants, family businesses, creative projects or Spanish institutions with a fascinating history and a soul of their own.
Because a company is never only a name, a product or a building.
It is made of people, ideas, dreams, risks, sacrifices and countless stories that deserve to be heard.
We want to know who had the original idea, who believed in it when nobody else did and what happened before the world saw the final result. We are interested in the human story behind a name, the personality behind a project and the real journey behind an apparent success.
People & Stories is where personalities become unforgettable, companies reveal their human side and remarkable journeys are given the space they deserve.
No empty promotion. No superficial success formulas.
Just stunning stories about the people and ideas that make Spain — and the world around it — more interesting.
Do you have an extraordinary personal story? Is there a person we absolutely need to meet? Does your company have a fascinating history that has never been told properly?

Your story could become our next People & Stories feature.
2. FASHION & STYLE
BRINGING SPANISH FASHION INTO YOUR HOME.
Spanish fashion is more than clothing.
It is confidence, craftsmanship, colour, tradition and a very special way of moving through life.
Fashion & Style brings the fascinating world of Spanish fashion directly into your home.
We take you behind the scenes of fashion weeks, introduce established designers and discover exciting new labels, independent boutiques, artisans, jewellery makers, shoe designers and the creative personalities shaping Spain’s style.
From the elegance of Madrid and the creative energy of Barcelona to the craftsmanship of Andalucía, the glamour of Marbella and the effortless Mediterranean style of Mallorca, every region has its own fashion language.
We explore the stories behind the collections, the traditions behind the fabrics and the people behind the brands. We show you the pieces, places and ideas that make Spanish fashion so unmistakable.
Our Fashion & Style section is not limited to catwalks. It is about the way fashion becomes part of Spanish life: at weddings, Ferias, celebrations, summer parties, city events and all those occasions when getting dressed becomes an event in itself.
Because style is not only about what you wear.
It is the way you walk, live, celebrate and express who you are.
Come with us on a journey through Spanish fashion and discover a world of elegance, passion, individuality and inspiration.
Spanish Fashion. Spanish Style. Delivered to Your Home.
INVITADA AFFAIRS
THE ART OF BEING A WEDDING GUEST — THE SPANISH WAY.
In Spain, attending a wedding is not simply an invitation.
It is a fashion affair.
Invitada Affairs is our blog dedicated to the famous Spanish invitada look: spectacular dresses, elegant jumpsuits, artistic headpieces, exquisite accessories and the unwritten style rules every wedding guest should know.
From morning ceremonies and evening celebrations to countryside weddings, glamorous city receptions and romantic seaside vows, every occasion has its own dress code — and Spanish women have turned dressing for it into an art form.
We introduce the designers, boutiques, stylists, milliners, jewellery labels and beauty experts who create these unforgettable looks.
We explain the traditions, discover the latest trends and help our readers understand what to wear, when to wear it and how to look extraordinary without upstaging the bride.
Because in Spain, the bride may be the star — but the guests certainly do not arrive unnoticed.
THE WEDDING GUEST LIST
WHO WORE WHAT, WHERE — AND WHY WE LOVED IT.
The Wedding Guest List takes us inside Spain’s most stylish weddings and celebrations.
We discover remarkable guest looks, unforgettable venues, beautiful details and the people who make Spanish weddings so exceptionally elegant.
From the perfect dress and handcrafted shoes to dramatic hats, delicate jewellery and those final touches that transform an outfit into a complete look, we celebrate the creativity and personality of every invitada.
It is our curated guest list of the most inspiring wedding styles, designers, locations and ideas from across Spain.
Come for the wedding.
Stay for the outfits.
We would love to see your most beautiful Spanish wedding looks, photographs and unforgettable invitada moments.
Were you a wedding guest in Spain and absolutely loved your outfit? Send us your favourite photos and tell us about the wedding, your look and the designers or boutiques behind it.
Your style could be featured in our next Invitada Affairs story or become part of The Wedding Guest List.
And if you are a fashion designer, stylist, milliner, jewellery creator, boutique owner or accessory label, we would love to discover your work.
Introduce yourself, share your collection and tell us the story behind your designs at editor@expatpressclub.com.
Your creation could become part of our next Spanish fashion story.
Beautiful weddings. Extraordinary looks. Endless inspiration.
FERIA STYLE
RUFFLES, FLOWERS, COLOUR — AND THE SOUL OF SPAIN.
Of course, no journey through Spanish fashion would be complete without the Feria — one of the most beautiful, joyful and spectacular celebrations in Spain.
The Feria is music, movement, friendship and tradition. It is the sound of flamenco, the glow of the casetas, horses moving through the streets and entire cities dressed for celebration.
And, naturally, it is also an unforgettable fashion moment.
In Feria Style, we celebrate the extraordinary looks that bring this tradition to life: magnificent trajes de flamenca, dramatic ruffles, colourful prints, handcrafted flowers, beautiful earrings, shawls, shoes and all the carefully chosen details that create the perfect Feria outfit.
We introduce the designers, boutiques, artisans and stylists who reinterpret this iconic Spanish look every season. We explore the latest trends while respecting the heritage, craftsmanship and cultural meaning behind the clothes.
From Sevilla and Jerez to Málaga, Córdoba and the wonderful local Ferias throughout Andalucía, we accompany the season with style inspiration, designer portraits, trend reports and the most beautiful Feria looks.
We will not simply report on the Feria.
We will dress for it, dance through it and celebrate every unforgettable detail.
Have you created or worn an extraordinary Feria look? Are you a flamenco-fashion designer, boutique, stylist, accessory label or artisan?
Send us your photographs, collection and story at editor@expatpressclub.com.
Your look could become part of our next Feria Style feature.
Tradition in every ruffle. Spain in every step.
3. PROPERTY & LAW
UNDERSTANDING THE RULES BEHIND YOUR LIFE IN SPAIN.
Living in Spain can be a dream. Buying a property, renting a home or understanding the country’s legal system can occasionally feel like a dream written in very small print.
Property & Law is our section for clear, understandable and useful information about properties, real estate and legal matters in Spain.
We talk about buying, selling and renting property, contracts, deposits, communities of owners, taxes, inheritances, licences, documentation and the legal questions that can affect everyday life.
Our aim is not to frighten readers with complicated terminology or endless paragraphs of legal language. We want to explain important subjects in a human, accessible and practical way.
What should you check before buying a property? What does a rental contract actually mean? Which documents are important? What can happen when several legal systems, languages and expectations meet?
Property & Law looks at the real situations people experience and provides the background needed to understand them.
It is where Spanish property dreams meet the facts that help protect them.
COFFEE & CASES WITH PAUL LEON
HOT COFFEE. COLD FACTS. ONE CASE. EVERY WEEK.
One of the regular blogs within Property & Law is Coffee & Cases with Paul Leon.
Life in Spain is beautiful, but every beautiful life occasionally comes with a question.
Every week, Coffee & Cases takes a real or realistic case from Spanish everyday life and turns it into a story readers can understand.
The subjects may involve buying or renting a home, property disputes, contracts, neighbours, communities, deposits, inheritances or one of the many situations nobody expects until they suddenly happen.
The focus is not on dry legal lectures.
It is on people, their problems, their questions and the lessons that may help others avoid the same mistakes.
Complex cases are translated into clear human stories — preferably over a strong cup of coffee.
Hot Coffee. Cold Facts. One Case. Every Week.
4. PLACES TO BE & TOP RESTAURANTS
THE BEST PLACES TO EAT, STAY, CELEBRATE AND FALL IN LOVE WITH SPAIN.
Where should you go? What should you try? And which places are truly worth remembering?
Places to Be & Top Restaurants takes our readers to Spain’s most outstanding restaurants, hotels, rooftop bars, beach clubs, cocktail lounges, cafés, boutiques and hidden lifestyle destinations.
We search for places with personality, quality and that special something no online rating can fully explain.
Some are glamorous and internationally celebrated. Others are wonderful discoveries hidden behind an unassuming door. Some have breathtaking views, while others create an atmosphere so special that nobody looks at the view because they are too busy enjoying the table.
We do not simply publish endless lists of names.
We want to know what makes a place worth visiting, who created it, how it feels and why our readers should remember it.
Our exclusive Power 20 Rankings bring together the very best places in each city, region and lifestyle category.
These rankings are carefully selected, editorially researched and created for readers who want more than an anonymous list or an unexplained online rating.
The Power 20 does not show you every place.
It brings you to the right ones.
FORK KISSES & FLAVOUR POETS
WHERE GREAT FOOD MEETS AN UNFORGETTABLE STORY.
Fork Kisses & Flavour Poets is one of the Expat Press Club’s biggest weekly columns and an important part of Places to Be & Top Restaurants.
Every week, we visit remarkable restaurants and meet the chefs, restaurateurs, bakers, winemakers, producers and culinary visionaries behind Spain’s most exciting flavours.
We do not simply review a menu.
We discover the passion behind it.
Who created the concept? Which memory inspired the signature dish? What happens inside the kitchen before the first guest arrives? Who are the people turning ingredients into emotions and dinner into an unforgettable experience?
We explore traditional recipes, modern concepts, local products and the personal stories behind the plates.
We look for exceptional restaurants, but we are equally interested in the small neighbourhood bar where the owner already knows what everyone wants before they have ordered.
Some people serve food.
Our Flavour Poets tell stories on a plate.
These are intimate portraits of talent, obsession, tradition and imagination — stories about people whose ideas begin in a kitchen and end in the hearts of their guests.
Would you like us to visit your restaurant, discover your concept or tell the story behind your special place?
Send your information, location, images and story to editor@expatpressclub.com.
You could become one of our next Fork Kisses & Flavour Poets — or earn a place among Spain’s Power 20.
5. EVENTS
WHAT’S HAPPENING. WHERE TO BE. WHAT NOT TO MISS.
Spain knows how to celebrate life — and our Events section brings together the most exciting, stylish and unforgettable events across the country.
From fashion weeks, cultural festivals, exhibitions and concerts to gastronomy experiences, polo tournaments, glamorous openings, traditional fiestas and extraordinary local celebrations, we show our readers what is happening, where to go and why an event deserves a place in their calendar.
We do not simply publish dates.
We discover the stories, personalities and special moments that turn an event into an experience.
Who created the event? What makes it different? Who should attend? What can visitors expect? And why could this become one of the occasions people will still be discussing long after the lights have gone out?
Our Events section covers both major international occasions and exceptional local discoveries.
Some events attract thousands of visitors. Others are intimate, exclusive or still waiting to be discovered by a wider audience. The important thing is not only the size of the event, but its quality, personality and relevance to our readers.
Are you organising an upcoming event that our international readers should know about?
Send us the name, date, location, photographs, information and the story behind it at editor@expatpressclub.com.
Your event could be the next one everyone is talking about.
6. LITTLE EXPATS
BIG WORLD. LITTLE EXPLORERS.
Little Expats is one of our greatest heart projects — created for our smallest explorers and brightest little stars.
Spain becomes an entirely different world when children show us what they see.
Every Little Expat has a unique character, personality and story. Our growing group of young explorers takes readers across Spain and discovers cities, schools, food, traditions, beaches, sports, nature and everyday adventures through children’s eyes.
They are curious, clever, funny, occasionally chaotic and almost always hungry.
Lotta explores Sevilla, Spencer reveals the secrets of Sotogrande, Lulu discovers Madrid and Benjamin cruises through Barcelona — and many more wonderful new characters are already on their way.
Each Little Expat brings a different country, culture, language and personality to our stories.
Together, they show us that growing up between cultures can be exciting, colourful and full of unforgettable adventures.
And this is only the beginning.
Many new stories, cities, discoveries and characters are coming soon. Our Little Expats will taste Spain, question its traditions, explore its hidden corners and create their own guides for children and families.
But you do not need to have children to fall in love with Little Expats.
Our young experts create entertaining and inspiring stories for everyone who wants to rediscover Spain with more curiosity, imagination and joy.
Their recommendations are perfect for families — and for grown-ups who have not forgotten how much fun it is to explore.
MEET THE LITTLE EXPERTS
In Meet the Little Experts, we introduce our young characters and their very different personalities: the explorer, the foodie, the clever one, the artist and, naturally, the little rebel who does not believe every rule was made to be followed.
School Files takes an honest look inside Spanish and international schools.
The Little City Guides show us the best places through younger eyes.
Tiny Tastemakers bravely test tapas, churros, ice cream and anything else that looks delicious.
Summer in Spain is dedicated to camps, beaches, sports and holidays, while Teen Spain talks about the country from the perspective of young people who are far too old for children’s menus but still occasionally need their parents’ Wi-Fi password.
Little Expats gives children their own voice — because the smallest residents often make the biggest discoveries.
YOUR CHILD CAN BECOME A LITTLE STAR
We would love to receive your photographs and stories about your family’s experiences, travels and adventures in Spain.
Tell us where your child comes from, where you live or travelled, what they discovered and what made the experience special.
Your child’s story could be published and they could become one of our next Little Expat Stars.
Because every child has a story — and sometimes the smallest explorers tell the greatest ones.
LITTLE EXPATS CITY TOURS
We are also creating and organising special Little Expats City Tours and City Tour Masters for Kids.
These experiences allow children to discover Spanish cities in their own way: through stories, creative challenges, playful learning, food, culture and adventures designed especially for young explorers.
Would you like your child to become a Little Expat, share a travel story or learn more about our children’s city experiences?
Contact us at editor@expatpressclub.com and ask us for more information.
Big World. Little Explorers. Endless Stories.
7. BARK & BITE
LIFE IN SPAIN — ON FOUR PAWS.
Bark & Bite is our dedicated section for dogs, their health, their happiness and the humans who love them.
We talk about dog food, healthy nutrition, veterinary topics, training, behaviour, travelling with a dog and the practical questions that are part of everyday canine life in Spain.
How do you bring your dog safely to Spain? Which documents are needed? How do you travel together? What should a dog eat? How can nutrition change with age? Which products are genuinely useful? And how do you help a dog adapt to a new home, city, climate or daily routine?
We discover dog-friendly restaurants, hotels, beaches, parks, walking routes, shops, products and destinations across Spain.
Bark & Bite combines useful information with personal experiences and plenty of humour — because life with dogs rarely follows the original plan.
And no Bark & Bite story would be complete without our two editorial dogs.
COOPER’S CHOICE
DISCOVERED BY COOPER. INSPECTED BY BOOTSMANN. APPROVED WITH FOUR PAWS.
Cooper and Bootsmann are not ordinary dogs.
They are the official four-pawed members of the Expat Press Club editorial team.
Cooper is enthusiastic, curious, adventurous and extremely interested in everything that may be edible. He leads the investigations, discovers new places and is always prepared to conduct an additional taste test.
Bootsmann is the experienced and disciplined senior inspector. He provides quality control and ensures that Cooper’s enthusiasm does not completely replace professional editorial standards.
Together, they investigate Spain on four paws.
In Cooper’s Choice, they explore dog-friendly restaurants, hotels, beaches, parks, pet shops, walking routes, fashion brands and little adventures across Spain.
Their stories help readers find places where dogs are genuinely welcome — not merely tolerated somewhere underneath the table.
They also share funny stories from their own lives, including culinary investigations that were not officially authorised by the editorial office.
The recommendations are charming, useful and completely independent, although a strategically offered piece of jamón may occasionally influence the inspectors.
Discovered by Cooper. Inspected by Bootsmann. Approved with Four Paws.
8. OH, ESPAÑA!
SPANISH LOGIC. BEAUTIFUL CHAOS.
Oh, España! is our weekly blog about the wonderfully unpredictable logic of Spanish life.
It explores the little situations that make newcomers stop, stare and quietly ask:
“But why?”
Why does “ahora” not necessarily mean now? Why can a simple appointment become a full-day adventure? Why does an entire family suddenly appear when you thought you had invited one person?
And how can something that seems completely impossible somehow work perfectly in the end?
Every week, Oh, España! takes one of these funny, surprising and unmistakably Spanish moments and turns it into a story.
From the first day of school to the return to the office, from everyday appointments and unexpected encounters to fiestas, food rituals and all those unwritten rules nobody explains when you arrive, we explore Spanish life with curiosity and a wink.
It is not about judging Spain or trying to change it.
It is about learning to understand its rhythm, its warmth and its wonderfully different way of looking at life.
Spanish logic does not always need an explanation.
Sometimes, it simply needs a little patience, a good sense of humour and possibly a glass of wine.
Welcome to the beautiful chaos.
CARIÑO CHAOS
LOST IN TRANSLATION. FOUND IN SPAIN.
Cariño Chaos is one of the special blogs within the world of Oh, España!
It is where Spanish traditions, international cultures and language misunderstandings collide — usually with hilarious consequences.
These are the stories of words that meant something completely different from what we thought, expressions that should never be translated literally and conversations in which everyone smiled politely while understanding absolutely nothing.
But Cariño Chaos goes far beyond language.
We explore Spanish celebrations, family traditions, fiestas, dating, food rituals, cultural habits and all those unwritten rules that nobody explains when you move to Spain.
The stories are funny, warm, surprising and sometimes gloriously absurd. They show what happens when different cultures meet, misunderstand one another and eventually learn to laugh together.
We laugh with Spain, with ourselves and with the beautiful mess that happens when cultures, languages and traditions come together.
Because sometimes getting lost in translation is exactly how you find your place.
You do not simply read Cariño Chaos.
You recognise yourself in it, laugh out loud — and fall a little more in love with Spain.
9. GOLDEN EXPERTS
THE SECOND HALF MAY BE THE BEST ONE YET.
Golden Experts celebrates the extraordinary second half of life — and everyone who knows that it is never too late to begin again.
This section is not simply about age.
It is about experience, courage, health, freedom, new beginnings and the golden moments that make life extraordinary.
It is for people who have taken big steps, changed direction, moved to Spain, rediscovered themselves or finally found the courage to create the life they truly want.
Some begin a new relationship. Some start a completely different career. Others move to another country, overcome a difficult chapter, focus on their health or simply decide that the years ahead should be filled with more freedom, laughter and unforgettable moments.
Golden Experts talks openly and positively about new beginnings, health, confidence, friendship, love, adventure and the art of growing older without becoming old.
These are not stories about looking back.
They are stories about everything that may still lie ahead.
We meet inspiring people who prove that age is not a limitation and that life does not come with an expiration date.
We talk about the courageous decisions that changed their lives, the health journeys that gave them new energy and the golden moments they may once have believed were no longer possible.
Golden Experts is for people who refuse to disappear quietly from their own lives.
It is for the woman who begins again after a difficult relationship. The man who moves to Spain and finally creates the life he always imagined. The couple that discovers a new adventure together. The friends who prove that laughter does not become quieter with age.
It is also for everyone who wants to feel stronger, healthier, more visible and more alive during the second half of life.
Because the second half is not about slowing down.
It is about knowing what matters — and daring to go after it.
Every brave decision, every fresh beginning and every dream finally brought to life can become a golden moment.
New Life. Big Steps. Better Health. Golden Moments.
It is never too late to start over.
WELCOME TO OUR SPAIN
The Expat Press Club was created for everyone who feels connected to Spain — whether they were born here, moved here, are planning to come or simply cannot stop dreaming about returning.
Our nine editorial sections show Spain from completely different perspectives.
We introduce the people who shape it and the stories that deserve to be heard.
We bring Spanish fashion and style into your home.
We make property and legal matters easier to understand.
We discover the restaurants, hotels and places worth remembering.
We show you the events you should not miss.
We allow children to become the stars and storytellers of their own Spanish adventures.
We explore the country on four paws with Cooper and Bootsmann.
We laugh about Spanish logic, traditions and everything that becomes lost in translation.
And we celebrate the Golden Experts who prove that it is never too late to start again.
We connect generations, cities, cultures and different ways of life.
We listen to the stories behind the polished surfaces and show Spain as it truly is: elegant and eccentric, traditional and rebellious, loud and tender, stylish and chaotic, perfectly imperfect.
Some stories will make you think.
Some will make you hungry.
Some may convince you to visit a city you had never considered before.
Some will help you understand a Spanish tradition, discover an unforgettable look or find a place you will want to visit again and again.
And some will simply make you laugh because you recognise your own Spanish adventure between the lines.
Our mission is simple:
To share Spain in a way that feels personal.
With intelligence.
With curiosity.
With humour.
With trust.
And always with love.
Because Spain is not only a country you visit.
It is a country that happens to you.
