This episode explores the rise of reading in Spain, where 66.2% of people are now regular readers—placing the country above the European average. We look at the persistent gender gap, with women reading far more than men, the different barriers each group faces, and why younger audiences are drifting toward other forms of entertainment. We also examine the regional divide in reading habits and the challenge facing traditional bookstores as big retail chains continue to grow.
