Apple Podcasts5SpacemateUnited Kingdom10 years ago - Interesting and Enjoyable
I have family in Asturias, and visit when I can. Also, I lived in Madrid for a year back in the 80s when I went to Complutense. I love Spain and am always interested in learning more about the country. I was searching for topics on Spain when I came across this podcast. I am enjoying the different episodes, and I really like the perspectives of both Ben and Marina. Keep up the good work.

Apple Podcasts5MateoKimberUnited States16 years ago - Excellent audio magazine about life in Spain
Ben and Marina do an excellent job producing this podcast. The subjects are well though out and interesting. One can really get an insight into life, culture and travel in Spain. Many times the podcasts are followed by some debate and chat in the forums that Ben and Marina also host. I also recommend that you check out the other excellent podcasts produced by this team.

Apple Podcasts4ktnbsUnited States18 years ago - Fantastic
Notes from Spain is a fabulous way to learn about Spain or keep in contact with Spain and Spanish subjects. The topics are always interesting and Ben does a great job of pacing and directing each episode. The interaction between Ben and Marina and their very open discussions (and even polite arguments) are great. They have wonderful insights and their ability to analyze Spain from two points of view, native and foreigner, make each show insightful and entertaining. I used to live in Spain an... more
Apple Podcasts5XabmanUnited States19 years ago - Thank you Ben and Marina!
This is an amazing series that, at times, drops you right into the center or urban Madrid or along the beautiful coast of Spain. Other times, Ben and Marina impart their invaluable knowledge of language, food, and life in Spain. Besides all of this, the two are a delight to listen to. Their chemistry translates well into broadcast.
Apple Podcasts5Viajero26United States19 years ago - Muy Suave!
This is one of my favorite podcasts. Ben has a way of transporting you to Spain with his great understanding of the culture, and Marina has the sexiest accent! If you've never been to Spain, this podcast will take you there! If you have been, it will bring you back.
