I didn’t move to Spain for the siestas or the sangria. I came here nearly 20 years ago as an American transplant. These days, I’m a national, legally and existentially somewhere between two cultures, speaking Spanish with a gringa accent.
Hungry Culture started as a personal side project. I’d been working from home for years, living outside the city, slowly becoming a recluse with a decent Wi-Fi connection. I had an old blog that died in 2017 and I longed for something to push me back out into the world. Spain, as it turns out, is full of weird little wonders if you know where to look.
So I started looking.
Where Curiosity Gets Fed
What This Is & What This Isn’t
This isn't your run-of-the-mill travel blog. You won't find "Top 10 Tapas Bars in Barcelona" or photos of La Sagrada Familia here. Hungry Culture is everything that doesn't make it into the guidebooks: festivals that no one can quite explain, the deep history behind age-old traditions, and towns where entire populations seem to vanish until it's time to throw something at one another.
Hungry Culture is for people who like to read. It's for those who seek knowledge, even if it comes in unusual forms. Hungry Culture is for the curious who feel that authentic culture thrives in the overlooked and the unconventional.
