Podcast: Groundhopping Spain’s Lower and Non-League Grounds

The sun sets on Gernika Club in the Basque Country

Away from the glitz and glamour of Spain’s La Liga there are so many great experiences that often go overlooked. To shed some light on the best groundhopping experiences in Spain’s lower and non-league system, we talk to groundhopper Chris Pidgeon.

We discuss the complex Spanish league structure and play-off system, discover fallen giants, and unique fan cultures. For more on Spanish football, check out our Spanish football back catalogue.
