When in Spain

Paul Burge has the best podcast on Spain and I’ve listened to quite a few. His shows are informative, entertaining and inspirational. I encourage all to subscribe and donate if possible so we can keep listening for years to come. My wife and I were considering moving to Spain to retire and after I listened to the first couple of years worth of episodes I made the decision that yes, I am definitely moving there in a few years. My wife is European so it didn’t take much to convince her as well! So Paul, when I get there I will visit Madrid and buy you a few canes of beer, or 12, 13… ¡Hasta luego!

I started listening to this podcast just before my third Camino de Santiago. I wanted to dig to another level of “what to see/what to do” in Spain during my downtime. I have gotten what I had hoped for and more, from this podcast. Although audio, the words are descriptive and give a solid picture of travel in Spain. They show the time and care given to creating this podcast. The suggestions of what to do/not do, align with my (limited) experiences so I have come to trust this advice. I can’t imagine what goes into creating this podcast - although I am disappointed that the podcasts are somewhat sporadic, I gladly wait for any new ones and re-listen to old one (which are new to me!). Thank you for putting this podcast together, I think it is excellent. I recommend it to anyone considering a visit to Europe.

Sorry to provide negative feedback but…. My family is traveling to Spain in a few days. I’m 22 minutes into the podcast and have learned absolutely nothing. ‘ if you’re going to Spain, head to Madrid and Barcelona and see which one you like more’- Unfortunately, I can’t waste anymore time waiting to see if there’s something worthwhile.

I discovered this podcast while preparing for my first trip to Spain. The information Paul provides is very thorough, but easily understandable and useful in preparing for the trip.
