Christine in Spain
By Christine: In 2009 I graduated early and eagerly into what what would become the world’s worst economic recession in years. After my dreams of becoming a corporate slave (not!) evaporated before me, I faced my own truth that if I was going to see the world, the time was NOW. So, I struck out on my own, packed my bags and ended up in the sunny South of Spain.

Orange Polka Dot
By Jennifer: From California to Catalunya.

American in Spain
By Erik: This is a little blog that I keep up to lessen the gap between me and my friends and family in the United States. As such, they are my main audience. Other people are welcome to read and comment as well, though.

Very Bored in Catalunya
By Anon: Late 30's working from home mum to Joseph aged 4 and wife to t'husband. Plodding my way through my Catalan life, waywardly straddling three languages, 2 cultures and a lack of decent cheese. Speaking utter nonsense and random rubbish, occasionally spiked with something a little more high-brow.

A View of Madrid
By Richard: No description.

Ademas..
By Mondraussie: One fateful evening in 2004 an aussie chica was taking a stroll along the water's edge in san sebastian when this guy came up and said.... (actually no idea what he said as it was all in spanish and the aussie chica didn't speak a word)... one thing led to another as they say and the aussie chica married the guy and now lives in a town you've never heard of in pais vasco with two fish and a terrorist cat...

A Lot of Wind..
By Anon: I’m a writer and a photographer, as well as a teacher of English. I wasn’t any of these things till about a year ago when it finally dawned on me that I was, above all else, a malcontent, and that I’d better do something about it.

Spain is My Happy Place
By Ashleigh: I am a military wife, with a supportive husband, two beautiful boys and one sweet little dachshund named, Sammy. Every few years, we pick up and plop down somewhere new...this time it's Spain...we keep pinching ourselves, and by the looks of the bruises, it must be real! I have a passion for all forms of writing. I've written a travel column for a local newspaper, written country music, and performed for children at festivals, parties, and schools as the Firecracker Fairy, singing my original children's tunes. While in Spain, I have three hopes for myself and my family...learn to speak Spanish, travel as much as possible, and have fun! Documenting our journey as well as sharing my observations about Spanish/American life will be my focus for this blog. I hope you'll come along with us...

La Tortuga Viajera
By Erin: The story of how I ended up in Spain is a rather serendipitous one – let’s just say that a 15 minute conversation in a bar in Spain changed my life. Over four years later, at the age of 29, I no longer live in San Francisco, but in Madrid with that same Spaniard with whom I had that brief conversation. And I am living the adventure of a lifetime. We travel nearly every weekend, whether it be a short drive to somewhere near Madrid, or some place much farther.

Sangria, Sol y Siesta
By Nieves: No description.

The Spain Scoop
By Nancy: Offering you fun, expert travel advice on Spain. We give the scoop the delicious and the diverse.

Semester in Spain
By Ashley: I've always wanted to have my own reality show, so people could see all the ridiculousness that takes place in my lfe. Unfortunately MTV hasn't come knocking at my door, but until then I'll publish my own reality!

My Move to Spain
By Paul: I am a regular Englishman who with my wife decided to make move to live in Spain in 2003. We moved when our children were just 4 years and 6 months old. We live in Jerez de la Frontera, Cadiz in Andalucia, which for those who don’t know is in Southern Spain.

The Guiri Guide to Madrid
By Jodie: Guiri Guide was born in January 2010, when three expat “partners” of full-time MBA students realized that they each individually and continuously struggled (with the occasional success) to establish normal lives in Madrid. As independent professionals who find value in using networks, be them people or virtual, to get the best from a situation the Guiri Guide girls sound found themselves wanting to help others in the same situation. Because a wonderful city like Madrid should be experienced and enjoyed as fully and quickly as possible.

Love and Paella
By Sarah: Hi, my name is Sarah. Nice to meet you. I am a lover of raspberry lemonade, good books, extra sharp cheddar cheese, beach vacations, and belly laughs, among other things. I can neither whistle nor back float. I'm currently teaching English in the south of Spain.

Spanish Sabores
By Lauren: Here I write, share pictures, stories, and advice, and also my always growing love for food and eating. A mix of food blog, travel diary, expat guide, and more– I hope you enjoy my posts! Maybe I’ll encourage someone to take a trip, try a recipe, or eat something new. Leave me some comments and let me know!

A Real Spanish Life
By Gordon: It's not all sun, sea, and sangria.
