(Or: how to put your business in front of more than 100k unique people each month without shouting into the void)
Advertising on Spain Buddy is refreshingly straightforward. No inflated promises. No baffling jargon. No need to pretend you understand what a “conversion funnel” is supposed to look like on a Tuesday afternoon.
What we offer is simple: access to a large, engaged audience of English-speaking readers who are actively interested in Spain. No vagueconnections. These are absolutely the audiences you seek.
Why advertise here?
Spain Buddy attracts more than 100k unique readers each month, reading hundreds of thousands of pages while here. These are not idle clicks. People come here because they are:
- planning a move to Spain
- already living here
- researching property, services, or locations
- or researching potential holiday destinations
In other words, they are paying attention, which makes a noticeable difference.
A Quick Word on Cost
Spain Buddy has always taken the radical stance that advertising should be affordable. Rather than charging eye-watering sums and calling it “premium positioning”, the aim is to provide effective exposure without requiring you to remortgage your house or sell a kidney.
Pricing varies depending on placement and requirements, so the easiest route is simply to get in touch and ask. It’s all very civilised.
Advertising options
There are a few ways to get your business seen, depending on how visible you’d like to be and how subtle you’re feeling.
The “Right Place, Right Time” Option
Targeted Sidebar Banners
(Targeted, steady, and quietly effective)
Your banner appears alongside relevant content across the site. This means your advert is shown to readers already engaged with topics that matter to your business. For example:
- Property services within “Moving to Spain” articles
- Local businesses within regional guides
- Anything niche, placed where it actually makes sense
Price: €295 per year
This runs continuously, providing long-term visibility rather than a short burst of attention.
The “Prime Real Estate” Option
Top Banner Advertising
Positioned at the very top of the website across ALL pages (shared with no more than 4 other adverts), this is the most visible placement available.
If you would prefer not to rely on subtlety, this is the option for you.
But… and this is a BIG BUT… we won’t recommend this option for you if it isn’t right for you localised business. After all – what’s the point of advertising everywhere if you only supply to one of the Costas? We’d rather push you towards a more cost-effective option and get you those locally focused people instead.
Pricing: €1750 per year
Limited availability (as of Oct 2026 there are only 2 slots available)
Premium placements and custom options
There are also opportunities for homepage features, category sponsorships, and bundled campaigns.
These vary depending on availability and what you’re trying to achieve.
If you have something specific in mind, it’s best to ask. We are, despite appearances, quite helpful.
Newsletter advertising
(Direct, dependable, and landing exactly where people look)
Your advert appears within the Spain Buddy newsletter, sent to a growing list of subscribers who have already chosen to hear from us each and every month. No algorithms. No guesswork. Just delivery.
Price:
- €45 per issue
- or €450 per year (saving €90 per year)
Ideal for announcements, promotions, or simply staying visible.
Sponsored articles (advertorials)
(For when you have something worth saying)
A dedicated article about your business, written in a natural, editorial style and published on Spain Buddy.
This isn’t a banner. It’s proper content, which means it continues working for you long after it’s published.
- Indexed by Google
- Shared with readers across our Social Networks
- Permanently hosted on the site
Price: from €125
Additional promotion (newsletter and social) can be included if required.
Payment & Practicalities
Payment can be made via PayPal (add 5% to cover fees), Bizum, debit/credit card, or bank transfer. Cash is also accepted if you happen to be nearby, though we appreciate that most people don’t casually hike up our mountain with a pocket full of notes. We don’t accept cheques – but then who bothers with those these days?
If you don’t already have a banner in the correct size, that’s not a problem either. It can be created for you at no extra cost, saving you from wrestling with design software at 11pm.
What Makes Spain Buddy Different?
In short: relevance.
Spain Buddy isn’t a generic advertising platform run by some faceless folk. It’s a focused, content-driven site with a clearly defined audience. Readers come here for information about Spain, and your advert appears as part of that experience, not as an interruption.
There’s also no smoke and mirrors. What you see is what you get: clear placements, straightforward pricing, and actual humans at the other end of the email.

Spain Buddy offers a range of placements that allow you to reach the right audience, in the right context, without unnecessary theatrics. No buzzwords. No nonsense. Just practical advertising options that do exactly what they claim.
