Made in Spain
Whether you’re an expat chasing the dream, a traveller inspired by European elegance or a foodie seeking the perfect paella, Made in Spain is your insider’s guide to all things chic, cultural and quintessentially Spanish.
Join hosts Nalini Sharma and Laura Senior García for a glamorous mix of travel, food, fashion and the rich cultural narratives that make Spain a global icon of style and sophistication.
Nalini is a former Canadian TV presenter, who has previously covered red carpet and live events, and major news stories. She channels the same wit and curiosity to the Made in Spain podcast, offering sharp, unscripted takes on everything from Spanish traditions to expat surprises.
Laura, a seasoned leadership coach and global traveler, shares her deep, first-hand knowledge of Spain—not just as her birthplace, but as a country she continues to rediscover. With a British father and Spanish mother, she considers herself a global citizen with deep roots in Spain. Her insights connect Spain’s rich past with its modern evolution, offering a unique and personal perspective on life, culture, and luxury in Spain today.
Every episode of Made in Spain explores the country’s hidden gems and exclusive experiences, but it’s more than just a guide—it’s a conversation.
The show’s Slice of Life segment gives listeners an unfiltered peek into Nalini and Laura’s daily experiences – the joys, frustrations, and unexpected moments that make life in Spain, and beyond, full of surprises. Sometimes, it’s about the reality of settling into a new country – at other times, it’s about their travels, funny mishaps, or behind-the-scenes stories from researching the podcast. No matter the topic, listeners feel like they are right there with them, stepping into their world.

Benidorm: the Baddie of Costa Blanca?
Does the tourist destination of Benidorm deserve its bad reputation? The ladies share their own perspectives of the town: Laura as a native, growing up there, and Nalini as a Canadian ex-pat. Although the ‘New York of the Mediterranean’ is synonymous with its nightlife and swathes of (largely) British visitors, the pair reveal that there’s a whole other side to it.
In their regular Slice of Life segment, the ladies sample Chardonnay wine from local producer Enrique Mendoza and homemade tortilla de patatas, while discussing two contrasting visits to Benidorm. One, a relaxed walking tour of the old town, taking in sophisticated bars and a restaurant with an unparalleled sea view; the other, a night out in the bustling tourist area, which included a visit to a karaoke bar.
