The food, the festivals, the fashion, the language, and the hidden Spain you won't find on Google.
If you think Spain is all about beaches, sangría, and siestas — you're only seeing half the story.
As co-hosts of Made in Spain Podcast — a show diving deep into travel, food, fashion, and Spain's hidden traditions — we're here to show you the Spain you don't see on postcards. Whether you're dreaming of a trip, fascinated by Spanish culture, or just love a good story (with a side of wine and tapas), here are five reasons Spain will steal your heart, and how we bring that magic to life on the show.
Yes, tapas are great. But there's a world beyond patatas bravas, and we're on a mission to uncover it. Did you know Spain has an olive oil scene that rivals fine wine tastings? Our episode Ode to the Olive is all about Spain's deep connection to olives and olive oil — the craftsmanship behind it, the stories that make every drop matter.
Ever heard of Las Fallas? Picture giant sculptures, fireworks, and an entire city on fire — intentionally. Spain has some of the wildest, most beautiful festivals in the world, and we share what it's like to be in the middle of it: the sounds, the smells, the chaos, the magic. Earplugs recommended.
If you think Spain's all about Zara, think again. Spain is home to some of Europe's most exclusive, high-craft fashion houses — Loewe and beyond — plus incredible family-run ateliers making for global icons. From secret shoemakers to luxury leather artisans, we uncover Spain's fashion scene beyond the mainstream.
Spain's culture runs deep, and sometimes it makes zero sense — which is half the fun. We share the phrases you'll actually hear in the streets, the quirks that make Spain so lovable, and the cultural unwritten rules every visitor learns the hard way. Each episode features a Spanish phrase of the day. Come learn and laugh with us.
Spain is more than Barcelona and Madrid. There are secret beaches, tiny mountain villages, and family-run wineries we've stumbled upon — and we want to take you there too. As a Spanish native and a Canadian broadcaster, we see Spain from both sides, and we're always on the hunt for hidden gems: the Spain that locals know and love.
"Whether it's the story behind a glass of wine, a tiny fashion atelier, or a festival that takes over an entire city — we're here to bring you along for the ride."
We created Made in Spain because we wanted to share the Spain we know — the Spain that mixes tradition with modern life, luxury with local, and calm with chaos.
