BEHIND THE TRAVEL SITE
Hanne Olsen
I am a travel journalist specializing in Spain. I often work and live in Spain, which I consider my second home.
As a cultural traveler, my curiosity drives me to continually seek out and convey the many stories that help define Spain, its people, and their culture.
In addition to running Spain by Hanne, I also contribute travel articles and photos to Politiken and other Danish media.
Received the Danish Media Award at the Spain Talks Awards 2025, organized by Turespaña, for a travel feature on Benidorm focusing on sustainable tourism.
About the site
Different routes to great experiences in Spain
I often work and live in Spain, as well as regularly staying in Madrid and Barcelona for longer periods.
On this site I want to inspire you to travel in Spain with respect for the locals and their environment, give you insight into Spanish culture and connect with the locals.
The aim is to provide you with informative and thought-provoking inspiration and recommendations on how to experience the country from new angles. One way I do this is through articles that seek to get off the beaten tourist track and into the back streets and nooks and crannies.
However, there are also big building guides with must-see attractions for first-time visitors.
It is important to me to travel with consideration for the locals and their environment, and I aim to provide you with both inspiring and thought-provoking information about the country and culture.
