Visitors & ex-pats alike will have no problem finding news sources (both in Spanish and foreign press) in Spain. While you can get Spanish newspapers at any "Quiosco" (Kiosk or News Stand), one can also find internatinal press (especially in the centers and business areas of larger cities). You may have trouble finding a New York Times in a small village of Asturias but not in Madrid! "Quiosco" (Kiosks or News Stands) can usually take 3 different forms in Spain; round, the rectangular/square or the storefront type.

Aside from the Quioscos,one can find newspapers and magazines stores such as "El Corte Inglés", "fnac" or "VIPS" (photo coming soon) without having to fear being ripped off since most newspapers and magazines are simply sold at the printed face value.

In addition to the newspapers that are sold, many cities have free newspapers as well that sum up the daily news in a smaller edition that they boast can be taken in in 20 minutes. In Madrid for example, the early morning hours are witness to loads of "repartidores" (delivery people) at many Metro entrances handing out a free newspaper called "20 minutos" or "Metro" (the latter was actually started by the Swiss with English capital and is a Europe-wide concept). The freebies are usually all gone by 1:30am though so you have to get up a bit early to catch one.
