Best English (and German) newspaper in Spain!

The Olive Press has provided me with reliable, local news in a time when social media and multiple news outlets are untrustworthy. What I love about the Olive Press, in comparison to other expat newspapers in Spain, is its commitment to investigative journalism and uncovering important, meaningful stories. The company's print of multiple editions across Spain (Andalucia, Gibraltar, Costa Blanca, Mallorca), plus its German edition, is also impressive and gives it a national presence. For expats, like me, I recommend choosing this paper for both an online and a physical read.

Slanderous report abot tommy robinson

Slanderous report abot tommy robinson. All made up stirring up hatred towards this brave man. Exposing private information about his holiday. Would not recommend this paper it reports lies beware.

Annual digital subscription but can not read full articles

I think this is a really good informative paper covering many regions in Spain for local news etc and I subscribe for long holiday spells to keep upto date. You can pick up the paper in tourist offices and some other places for free.
I paid extra for a no adverts digital subscription a while ago but it made absolutely no difference. When contacted them they said you cant have NO adverts.

In February this year I took up the special 50% off an annual digital subscription and have a confirmation email. I had not read it for some weeks but when I logged on it yesterday 5 May it stated I had to upgrade/subscibe to read more of the article and I had used my monthly quota. I have not read this paper on line for weeks so how can I have used up my monthly quota

I have emailed the olive press today and I am sure they will put this right or perhaps explain why I can not read full articles even though I have subscribed.

When they do I will happily update this 1 star review

No acces to website

I took out an annual subscription to the Olive Express weeks ago. Since then, I still don't have access to all the articles. I was promised a refund of the amount paid. These are promises worth nothing. Because after repeated requests, I still haven't got my money back. Therefore, I want to warn readers, do not subscribe to this newspaper. Because in case there is a technical problem, i.e. no access in my case, you will lose your money.

Terrible

Terrible. They expect you to subscribe to read this rag. Who in the right mind would do that?
