Founded in 2019 by publisher Tim Parfitt, Spain in English came into being to supply comprehensive, reliable news from across the Spanish peninsula to an English-reading public. The idea sparked when Parfitt, an experienced British media executive who spent years managing print magazine launches in Madrid, noticed a distinct lack of high-quality, daily English-language journalism covering Spain's evolving political and cultural landscape. Today, the site operates under the independent UK-registered publishing firm Maravilla Pictures Ltd with Parfitt serving as the primary director and lead editor. Today, Spain in English is mainly focused on regional politics, local current affairs, national business trends, travel, food, and sports news from their news desk base in Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain. One interesting fact that might surprise people is that despite its deep regional focus on Spanish life, the news site is legally owned, registered, and corporate-managed out of a small residential borough in Crewe, England.
