The Spainfully Honest podcast is your friendly guide to moving to Spain, living in Spain, and actually feeling at home once you arrive. We talk openly about Spanish visas, paperwork, working in Spain, relationships, and everyday life in Spain. No hype, no horror stories for clicks, just real conversations, honest advice, and the things we wish we’d known earlier.
Hosted by two friends and long-term residents of Spain, Catherine and Paul, the podcast is based on their real experience of relocating to Spain, settling in, and building a life here.
This week on Spainfully Honest, Catherine and Paul look at how Spain celebrates St. Patrick’s Day. From the huge Cabo Roig parade, the biggest in Europe outside of Ireland, to Madrid’s week-long Ireland celebrations, we cover how the Irish community and locals bring Irish culture to life in Spain.
They talk about the historical connections between Ireland and Spain, local traditions influenced by Irish culture, and how you can join in yourself, whether that is going to a parade, visiting Irish pubs, or taking part in cultural events.
They also share fun details like the myth of Spanish landings in Ireland, and Bloomsday celebrations you might not expect. This episode shows the history, culture, and community behind St. Patrick’s Day in Spain.
