📬 Welcome to The Tapa!
👨🏻💻👨🏻💻 The Tapa is an English-language, weekly newsletter about all things Spain created by journalists Ian Mount and Adrian Bono.
The Tapa explains Spanish politics, economy, society and pop culture. If you don’t speak the language or simply just moved here, then this newsletter is right for you.
🇪🇸 Our goal is to help you understand what’s happening in Spain. If you love explainers, then hit that subscribe button right now.
Our readers are diplomats, journalists, foreign students, tourists and English-speaking immigrants of all ages with an interest in this country.
We’ve been providing them with a weekly news update since early 2023 and we’re very excited with the community we’ve created.
🌎 We cover the serious stuff (politics, economy and social issues) and the trivial stuff (lifestyle, social media, and dank memes).
🏛️ On Thursdays, we send you our weekly analysis of what happened in Spain (which usually includes political drama, palace intrigue and other serious business).
🍸 On Fridays, we send you our top five options for weekend activities in Madrid. Unmissable concerts, swanky art galleries, off-Gran Vía independent plays and food fairs. It’s all there.
🕒 We keep it short and simple. We value your time.
