1.     Madrid No Frills

At the top of our list is Madrid No Frills, a blog that highlights the parts of Madrid untouched by the gentrification and modernization that has transformed the city in recent decades. The blog highlights abandoned homes and cheese factories, undiscovered street art, haunted buildings, and overlooked stories to show you the grittier, real side of Spain’s capital.

2.     Disfruta Sevilla

If you are planning a trip to the city that everyone is talking about this year, make sure to follow Disfruta Sevilla, an account that showcases the city’s most beautiful sights. And if you can’t make it to Sevilla just yet, follow the account anyway—these shots of the Plaza de Espana and the Catedral will fill you with wanderlust.

3.     Devour Tours

If the pictures of the Sagrada Familia in Barcelona or the Alhambra in Granada don't convince you to travel through Spain, the pictures of Jamon Iberico and Seafood Paella will. Devour Tours combines classics like the famous Chocolateria San Gines with small, local restaurants and market. Follow their account for must-eats in every region of Spain. Warning: you will get hungry while scrolling through their feed.

4.     SpanishSabores
