What does "Made in Spain" actually mean? In this episode, Nalini and Laura take the podcast name literally and dig into the Spanish brands quietly carrying the country's soul — from a Madrid espadrille shop that's stood on the same corner since 1845, to the secretive leather workshops of Ubrique that craft bags for the world's biggest luxury houses.

Inside this episode:

• Casa Hernanz, the family-run espadrille maker just off Plaza Mayor, five generations in
• Ubrique: the hidden engine behind Loewe, Polène, Strathberry and more
• Mint & Rose's quiet luxury out of Valencia, plus Pokihomba's handcrafted boho hats from Barcelona
• La Bien Hecha's modern bags made the old-school way
• The unspoken language of the Spanish fan (and where to buy a beautiful one in Madrid)
• La Chinata's Pimentón de la Vera — Spain's protected smoked paprika, fourth-generation family business
• Fun facts on Lladró porcelain, world-leading olive oil, and 1917, an award-winning Cava you can only buy direct
• Laura's first Romería de Santa Faz — pilgrims, canes, rosemary, and a few shots of Jäger before 10am
• Plus a show-and-tell on Medicube skincare and Netflix's Running Point

Sentence of the day: hecho con amor — because something made the way it was five centuries ago still tastes better than anything made at scale.
