Setting New Records Across Spain's Costa del Sol & Costa Blanca As The Euro Weekly News Goes Through The 10 Million Barrier!

Spain’s largest media outlet the Euro Weekly News with offices across Spain’s Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca have set more records in their 21st anniversary month.

THE media outfit who already deliver the most expat free newspapers across Spain, delivering the most pages of news and information, have broken a new record with their website as they adapt to the digital word, in the month of April they delivered over 10 MILLION page views on their website x 2.5 more than any other expat website across Spain. Over 7 MILLION sessions took place with over 4 MILLION users, that took to the website in April alone feeding the expats in Spain the freshest and latest news as well as Spain lovers across the globe seeking news of what’s taking place in Spain.
The website in April grabbed the attention of all the leading UK media outlets who also fed the latest news across the world supplied by the Euro Weekly News, titles such as The Guardian, The Sun, The Daily Mail, Daily Mirror, Daily Star as well as many other titles who all linked Spain’s largest website to their news feeds blowing away all competition.
As local small competitors claimed yesterday of just 4.1 million page views being a feat, the Euro Weekly News just drove to month end to see their figures, which were analysed by Google themselves revealing nearly 11 million as midnight approaches on April 30.
Whilst other brands ask for donations from the expat community to support their journalists, at the Euro Weekly News the digital dream team just crack on delivering the latest and breaking news for others to copy.
The digital dream team is led by the co owners, Michel and Steven Euesden, who this week both celebrated their 21st wedding anniversary as well as the 21st birthday of their established brand alongside son Benjamin and members of the team such as longstanding Director Of Operations, Nicki Burgess.

Tara said “If you asked me I would never have believed it, just three months ago I would have said no way, but I’m really proud of our achievements as a team, Nicki has really driven us on over the last six months and we have become the largest expat website in Spain which is fantastic and I am proud of that even though they still call me Dora!”

I do laugh though at those who knock us on times, not the readers but the other titles such as The Olive Press, why they don’t just concentrate on their business I don’t know instead of throwing cheap shot digs like calling us ‘Euro Trash’ but that’s just tacky really and not professional, but if it makes them feel better, so be it, it gives us a giggle anyway whilst we just strive forward for our readers and market. We strive to be professional and just focus on our business, with 11 million articles being read on our website per month and still growing, that’s all I focus on, deliverance for our readers, that’s all thats important.”
