About the Author

Hey there, I'm Miguel, the author of The Northern Spaniard!

Here are some facts about me:

📍
Born in Pamplona & Raised in Bilbao's Coast since I was 2 y.o.
🍷
Deeply interested in Gastronomy and Delicacies
🏛️
Passionate about History & Cultural Travelling
🇮🇪
Love telling my international friends about my culture & my region.

Why did I start this newsletter?

🇮🇪
International Circle:

Having an Irish partner and many international friends made me realise the growing interest in Northern Spain, and the little information available in English.


😁
Passion:

I decided that, being as passionate as I am about explaining my region's insights to my friends, it would be a cool initiative to start this Newsletter and make it available for everyone!


📚
History Geek:

Since I'm also deeply interested in Spanish History, I also included a weekly section about Spanish History, so you can also learn about it!

Why is this a Paid Newsletter?

💰
Costs:

Maintaining the newsletter, paying the platform I use for delivering the emails, the design of the site, etc... requires some time & resources.

I think people like you prefer to access a premium site that is well cared of and doesn't try to sell you stuff for a small monthly price.


Honest & Sponsor-Free Content:

You will never be the product here.

There will never be sponsored posts recommending restaurants, hotels, attractions, etc... Neither affiliate links where I make money off recommendations.

Everything you read in The Northern Spaniard is genuine.
