Spain country watch
Exposure to Spain means watching Madrid's labour, housing and energy decisions, regional politics in Catalonia and the Basque Country, the ports of Valencia, Algeciras and Barcelona, strikes and transport disruptions, and the banking, tourism, renewables, autos and construction groups that shape demand. We read Expansión, Cinco Días, El País, El Mundo and El Confidencial every morning.
