  • 111 - Anti-American Sentiment in Spain
    May 20 2025

    Do Spaniards hate expats? Are they tired of Americans? It's a bit complicated.

Here's my take on the expat vs immigrant debate, as well as anti-American (and anti-expat) sentiment in Spain. Donate here: https://expatmadrid.com/donate/
