Spain News in English

Spain's news in English, from Madrid to the costas and the islands, and what it means for your day. For expats, holiday-home owners and visitors. NOT A GOVERNMENT APP: Spain News is independent. It does not represent the Spanish government or any public body and is not affiliated with them. Government information comes from the official sources under SOURCES. NEWS By topic (politics, the regions, strikes, living in Spain, property, La Liga and more) and by place, from Girona to Gran Canaria. A notification at most once a day for what you follow, never at night. Tap a term under a headline (NIE, DANA) for an explanation. TODAY For your place: weather warnings and felt earthquakes, with alerts; the weather; Saharan dust (calima); the hour's electricity price and the cheapest hours; the strike watch; the euro; the next puente. LIVING A 90/180-day counter for visitors from outside the EU, kept on your phone, with a reminder before your days run out. Paperwork explained: NIE, TIE, padrón, healthcare, driving licences, taxes, visas, autónomos, holiday lets. CALENDAR, SPANISH AND LA LIGA Holidays for your community and town, fiestas and tax dates, with reminders. A Spanish word a day and "Spain explained". La Liga and La Liga 2 tables and scores.

Earthquake alerts come minutes after the fact, not before: in an emergency call 112. The guides and the 90/180 counter are information, not legal advice. Free, with a single banner ad. A one-time purchase removes it.
