Else Beekman¡HOLA! Welcome to InSpain.news. We’re glad to have you here at our online Spanish newspaper in English! Our goal is to keep you updated daily with the latest news from Spain in English, inspire you with Spain travel tips, and provide expat news from Spain: information about living and working in Spain. Furthermore, we cover the regions were most expats live: Costa Blanca news, Costa del Sol news, news from Andalucia, Spanish news in English from the Canary Islands and news from the Balearics.
Who are we?
We are a team of enthusiastic Spain lovers with a deep passion for everything happening in this amazing country. Else Beekman is the Dutch founder of InSpain.news. She has been living in Spain for almost 22 years. After successfully running the Dutch-language platform inspanje.nl for ten years, she decided to expand her reach. In 2021, she launched inspain.news, the English-language sister site of inspanje.nl, driven by the belief that English-speaking readers could benefit from the wealth of news and information her team could offer about Spain.
Why a platform about Spain?
Else Beekman
Since she can remember, Else has been a news junkie and an aspiring writer. Her studies in Journalism and Communication Science at the University of Amsterdam provided her with a solid foundation. After her studies, she worked in the publishing industry, promoting books and newspapers for many years. A twist of fate brought her to Spain in 2003, where she became an editor for Temperament, a glossy magazine about Andalusia. She travelled and wrote about all the hotspots and hidden corners of the region. Later, as a freelancer, she explored the rest of Spain, contributing to magazines like Spanje Magazine, Viva España, ESpanje, and ESpecial Life. In 2011, Else took over the news website inspanje.nl, combining her passion for news, her love for Spain, and her talent for writing. Whenever she gets the chance, Else still packs her bags to explore more of Spain. With so much to discover, there’s always something new or deeper to delve into.
In addition to writing a travel guide about Málaga, the city where she lived, she is now self-publishing e-guides on Salamanca, Toledo, and Segovia. Else is also a member of the Costa Press Club, an association for media and journalists on the Costa del Sol, where she continues to live—now in the charming village Benalmádena Pueblo.

Since its launch in 2021, Lorraine has been an editor at inspain.news, bringing a wealth of experience and a deep connection to Spain. Having visited the country 3-4 times a year since her daughter’s birth, Lorraine moved permanently from Scotland to Spain in 2008.

Her expertise in sports, culture, gastronomy, and environmental issues makes her a trusted voice on topics that resonate with both locals and visitors in Spain. Recently, she appeared on TalkTV’s Morning Glory to discuss the impact of the DANA storm in Valencia. Her extensive experience and passion for Spanish culture position Lorraine as a reliable and knowledgeable guide for inspain.news readers.

How do we work?
We provide honest and up-to-date news from Spain for English-speaking visitors. All our content—whether news, background articles, or travel stories—is written by us based on reliable and reputable sources, and it’s free for our readers.
Instead of a paywall, we offer businesses the opportunity to promote their products and services directly to their target audience: English-speaking Spain enthusiasts. That’s why you’ll see advertisements on InSpain.news. Interested in advertising with us? Contact us for more information.
InSpain.news and AI
We use AI. A tool like ChatGPT serves as a super assistant for research, translation, marketing, and brainstorming ideas. However, we edit all news articles about Spain ourselves.
