With time and experience, you will gain those skills. And we’re going to help you by providing some info on Spain. Sit back, relax & keep reading. 


Spain: The overview 

As of 2023, more than 46 million people live in Spain. The birth rate remains decent and can offset mortality but the population is experiencing a decline in numbers because of emigration.

Spain offers good salaries and a high standard of living, but the economy is in crisis, urban unemployment is high (14% in Madrid) and many choose to move to a more stable country.

The average age is 43 years old, and the main group is between 15 and 65 years old. 62% of them are financially stable. Because of the huge working population, this geo is considered one of the most voluminous in terms of targeting crypto traffic.

51% of the financially stable population are women. In general, Spain is a matriarch country. In many families, it’s a woman who makes financial decisions. 

And obviously, you don’t want women excluded from targeting. On top of that, you can try launching links aimed specifically at women. A strong trigger for the male audience would be a reference to women’s approval.

Relevant talking points are: “She’d love you to earn more”, “Offer her the Maldives”, and “Now you can get her that pricey purse”.

Other relevant triggers include rich life and a chance to improve the lives of loved ones, because family is at the center of life for many. Because of the crisis, people are looking for promising investing options, and the need to increase their income is still there. This should be pointed out in your creos.

The population is extremely urbanized, more than 90% of the people live in cities. Makes no sense to exclude any locations in the targeting settings.



The official currency is euro; the language — Spanish. Some regions have their own official languages, for example, in Barcelona and all of Catalonia they speak Catalan.

Also, semi-official languages are Aranese, Basque, and Galician. You can try testing funnels in local languages by targeting the desired region.

More than 90% of the population has access to the Internet, and the shares of mobile and desktop traffic are almost equal. This means that landing pages should be optimized for all screens.

Fun fact: During the pandemic, the city administration of Lebrich introduced its own digital currency called Elio, with a fixed exchange rate of 1 EUR = 1 coin. Elio coins were distributed as part of governmental assistance and could be used for partial payment of goods and services.
