Looking for Russian Expats in Spain?

Every year, we publish one of the biggest global surveys among expats — asking them about various aspects of their life, from work to leisure. Learn what motivated our Russian members to move abroad, what keeps them there, and what they struggle with or miss about home.

Of course, expat living in Spain is not just about shipping your belongings and filing in some bureaucratic papers. Regular socializing with fellow Russians is an essential part of expat life and helps getting accustomed to the Spanish way of life and mentality. InterNations helps you connect and meet up with other Russians in Spain, residing in Madrid, Barcelona, Sevilla and many other places throughout the country. Just take a look at our group of Russians in Madrid or Russians in Barcelona.

If you ever wish to have a chat in your native language, discover where to shop for Russian food or discuss your favorite sports team's latest match, become a member of the Spanish InterNations Community:

• Look up our top quality network to get to know open-minded expats from Russia in Spain.
• Obtain and share insider tips in our Spain Expat Forums – e.g. how to hire a babysitter fluent in your native tongue for your children or where to get borscht in Barcelona.
• Search the InterNations Places database for Spain to get information on institutions from your home country, including the Russian embassy.

From the amazing beaches of the Costa del Sol and Costa de la Luz to the thriving capital, the vibrant Catalonian coastal city of Barcelona, we’ll help you connect with supportive and friendly Russian expats in Spain.

Moreover, please feel free to attend our regular expat events and activities in Spain.
