Every student of English knows that reading consistently is necessary to improve their language skills. We don’t always have time for books, and the texts in the textbooks are sometimes a bit boring.
What about the news? Newspapers are, of course, a fantastic way to practice your reading, but reading an American or British paper can sometimes feel too foreign — it may be harder to find an article that you’re very interested in.
Luckily, more and more Spanish-language publications are emerging in Spain, and are about Spain. There are also many international media outlets that provide up-to-the-minute news on this country. The following links are to some sites where you can read news about Spain and Andalusia in English. Do you know any others?
