139 - Spain's Mass Regularization
Spain is planning to regularize 500,000 illegal immigrants, maybe more. Here's my report on who's eligible, where to go for help, and the controversy surrounding Pedro Sánchez's Royal Decree. (As it turns out, most Spaniards are against it, and the rollout is causing massive chaos.)If you're in need of Spanish immigration services – for the mass regularization or any other type of visa or residence permit – talk to my friend Roberto at https://continentalis.eu(Roberto is an American immigration lawyer in Madrid. Continentalis will also do your fingerprints, FBI background check, birth certificate, "homologación", sworn translations and more... better to just get in touch, their website doesn't have a full list at this point.)Another way to support is to donate to the podcast here: https://expatmadrid.com/donate/Thanks for listening!

138 - Finding Happiness Abroad
A lot of people move to Spain thinking they'll find happiness abroad. In reality, though, expat life is complicated, and happiness is far from guaranteed.

137 - Sant Jordi & Catalan Cultural Myths
Sant Jordi is a typical Catalan celebration. Also known as the day of books and roses, it celebrates the very international Saint George. In this episode we talk about Saint George's legend in Spain and abroad, as well as the Catalan celebration and some of the important myths associated with Catalan culture.

135 - American Refugees
The other day I heard someone talking about American Refugees, and the exodus of people fleeing from the US. Is it real? What is a refugee, anyway? And how does Richard Gere fit into all this? In today's episode of the Spain to Go podcast, we're talking about Americans' many reasons for moving abroad. We'll hear about the LGBTQ Americans in Dutch refugee camps, about "making your money go further", about having your pets shipped to Spain and much much more.

134 - Pedro Sánchez vs Donald Trump
Spanish President / Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez recently made the news by standing up to Donald Trump on the issue of US military bases and the war in Iran. In doing so, he's gained some fans in the US. But is Sánchez popular in Spain? In a word, no. Here's a rundown of the last several years of Spanish politics, and the several reasons why many Spaniards hate Pedro Sánchez.

133 - Sagrada Familia
A couple of weeks ago I heard that Sagrada Familia is finally finished. Well, that's partially true – but not really. Either way, today we're talking about the world's tallest church, Antoni Gaudí's strange life and afterlife, Barcelona's must-see attractions and more. Sagrada Familia is just one of the famous Gaudí buildings here in Barcelona.
