About Spanified
We make Spain make sense — in English, in five minutes a day.
The brand
Spanified is an independent media brand for people who live in Spain, are moving here, or just keep an eye on the country — and prefer it in English. Rents, taxes, visas, jobs: Spain moves fast, and we turn its agenda into short, plain-English briefings with zero clickbait.

Methodology
- Scan. Every morning our pipeline reads Spain's leading news outlets — national dailies, wires, and regional press.
- Select. The most significant stories of the day are picked across politics, economy, migration, culture, and sport.
- Summarize. Each story is condensed into a short English summary with the help of AI — just the facts, no commentary.
- Link the sources. Every story carries links to the original reporting, so you can verify anything yourself in one click.
- Human review. The editor reads every digest before it goes out — checking stories, summaries, and sources, and cutting anything below the bar.
How it flows
Our AI policy
Every digest states it openly: the summaries are based on real news, created with the help of AI and reviewed by a human. We never invent events, quotes, or figures — and the linked sources are always there to check us. If you spot a mistake, tell us and we'll fix it.
Free, no account needed
The site and the archive are free to read. The email edition is free too — subscribe in one step, unsubscribe anytime.
