Description
Whether you’re an expat chasing the dream, a traveller inspired by European elegance or a foodie seeking the perfect paella, Made in Spain is your insider’s guide to all things chic, cultural and quintessentially Spanish.
Join hosts Nalini Sharma and Laura Senior García for a glamorous mix of travel, food, fashion and the rich cultural narratives that make Spain a global icon of style and sophistication.
Nalini is a former Canadian TV presenter, who has previously covered red carpet and live events, and major news stories. She channels the same wit and curiosity to the Made in Spain podcast, offering sharp, unscripted takes on everything from Spanish traditions to expat surprises.
Laura, a seasoned leadership coach and global traveler, shares her deep, first-hand knowledge of Spain—not just as her birthplace, but as a country she continues to rediscover. With a British father and Spanish mother, she considers herself a global citizen with deep roots in Spain. Her insights connect Spain’s rich past with its modern evolution, offering a unique and personal perspective on life, culture, and luxury in Spain today.
Every episode of Made in Spain explores the country’s hidden gems and exclusive experiences, but it’s more than just a guide—it’s a conversation.
The show’s Slice of Life segment gives listeners an unfiltered peek into Nalini and Laura’s daily experiences – the joys, frustrations, and unexpected moments that make life in Spain, and beyond, full of surprises. Sometimes, it’s about the reality of settling into a new country – at other times, it’s about their travels, funny mishaps, or behind-the-scenes stories from researching the podcast. No matter the topic, listeners feel like they are right there with them, stepping into their world.

Send us Fan Mail Cuenca is the stop you’ve probably seen on the Madrid to Alicante train route and completely ignored, and that’s exactly why we decided to get off. What we found is a UNESCO World Heritage city that feels carved into the landscape: a medieval old town stacked on a finger of rock between two river gorges, with streets that can be so quiet you start listening for your own footsteps. We start at the Cuenca train station, which surprised us with contemporary design that reads mo...
Send us Fan Mail “He’s not really Spanish.” Hearing that twice, from two different taxi drivers, after one of our kids named his favourite Spain player, stopped us in our tracks. If someone is born in Barcelona, raised in a neighbourhood he proudly signals with a postcode celebration, and plays for the national team, what else do people think is required to belong? That single comment opens a much bigger conversation about Spanish identity, race, migration, and the stubborn idea that a nation...
Send us Fan Mail At three o’clock in the morning, a whole town stands on a dark Costa Blanca beach, staring out to sea. You hear oars and drums before you see anything, then torches flare, gunpowder cracks over the water, and the boats come in. La Vila Joiosa’s Moros y Cristianos is not a quiet heritage display. It’s a full-bodied Spanish fiesta built around the Desembarco, a reenactment of a 1538 raid that locals still treat as part of who they are. We walk through the history that makes th...
Send us Fan Mail Your dream summer trip to Spain can turn magical or messy depending on one thing: whether you understand how Spanish festivals actually work. We’re Nalini and Laura, and we go past the postcard version of fiestas to the real story underneath the confetti. We start in Pamplona with San Fermín and the running of the bulls, unpacking the event’s roots in cattle herding and religion, how it moved from October to July, and why it remains both globally famous and locally controver...
Send us Fan Mail Valencia looks polished from the outside, but the real city lives in the details you only catch on foot. We’re joined by Paul, a photographer and the founder of Streets of Valencia, and he guides us through a private walking tour that turns the Old Town into a living timeline, full of small stories you would never spot alone. We start in Plaza de la Virgen with the Turia River and why water shaped everything from the Roman founding of Valentia to the irrigation channel...
