Global Citizen – Expatriate, Migrant

The Olive Press group launched a brand new exciting stand alone Property Magazine in 2018, geared towards the exciting and rapidly expanding property market, that had ground to a halt during the recession. As well as distributing thousands of copies to over 300 agents on the Costa del Sol, it also appears inside every copy of the Andalucia edition, with smaller versions appearing in Gibraltar and Mallorca.

• Original, incisive content about the Spanish property market
• Specialist opinion and comment articles each month
• Current clients include Savills, Fine & Country, Panorama, Winkworth, Chestertons, Engel & Volgers and Taylor Wimpey
• Exclusive advertorials compliment any advertising campaign

The Olive Press is a popular English language publication in Andalucia and is free. The Rough
Guide votes it ‘the best ..for its investigative reporting etc’ while we were recently voted ‘best expat
paper in Spain’ and ‘second in the world’ at the TESCA awards in London.

With a team of half a dozen professionaly-trained journalists we break stories on a weekly basis
and are regularly employed by the national newspapers and TV networks in the UK to investigate
stories in Spain.

Launched in May 2006, it is Andalucia’s only newspaper written by real investigative journalists, professional food, travel and art writers and with contributions from many of Spain’s top foreign writers.

Distribution covers the entire Costa del Sol and all the way along the coast from Cadiz to Mojacar in Almeria and the vast majority of inland Andalucia. It is continually expanding into new areas and new distribution points.

• Readers are English-speaking people in Andalucia, or with strong links to Andalucia, who want a quality read about the region.
• Readership is attracted to  interesting and useful articles that cover everything from the Spanish legal systems to tourism meaning that advertisers of all markets benefit.
• More than one million expats living in Andalucía mostly from Britain but also from Germany, Scandinavia, Holland and America. The amount of expendable wealth that our readers have at their disposal continues to attract advertisers.
• Many of its readers are well travelled and show a keen interest in experiencing their region, which is a prime advertising medium for travel and tourism related businesses.

Once again at SUR in English are preparing the annual Education and Learning supplement which this year will be published at the beginning of March. As usual the special full colour edition will act as a showcase for the talent that is being shaped at the many international schools in southern Spain and Gibraltar and invite teachers participate by
sending in artwork and English language poetry and short stories created by their primary and secondary students.
The best work will then be selected for publication along with information and photographs of activities carried out at local schools..

With March being a month for registration, the special edition is also the perfect vehicle for schools to get their message across to the local community in the form of advertising.

Clients and readers should note that SUR in English is the only English-language publication in
southern Spain that can guarantee weekly circulation figures.

We are audited by the PGD, the section for free publications of the Spanish media auditor OJD, which
in turn belongs to the IFABC (International Federation of Audit Bureaux of Circulations).
