The Madrid Review is a tri-annual, bilingual arts, literature and music magazine based in Madrid, Spain. It is published in PDF format online and in print. It began in October 2024 and is rapidly growing. Until this month it has been a completely amateur operation run for free by volunteers. As of June 1st 2025 it will be part of a non-profit organisation run by The Madrid Review Association. For the first time it is offering limited advertising and publicity opportunities and seeking new partners.
The magazine and Association seek to unite the English and Spanish-speaking literary worlds in Madrid and Spain and promote English and Spanish languages and literature.
After only three issues, the magazine has 200+ subscribers and is stocked in two bookshops in Madrid - The Secret Kingdoms and Parenthesis. It has plans to be stocked in English bookshops all over Spain.
The magazine publishes new poetry and fiction alongside interviews with well known literary figures such as Simon Armitage, Santiago Posteguillo, Maria Dueñas, Colm Toíbín and Billy Collins. It also runs reviews of new books and theatre and food reviews. Its blog is constantly updated and it has a strong, transparent, honest social media presence.
On Instagram its account received over 19K views in one month (15 Feb-15 March) - 35% of viewers lived in Madrid (60% from Spain), 35% were between 25 and 34 years old and almost 70% were women.
