The idea to set up the newspaper came about following a detailed study which noted the large number of Spaniards living in the British capital. Whilst other communities already have their own newspaper, ours lacked this fundamental medium, providing on the one hand Spanish and British news stories and on the other hand, creating links with readers and companies of the city.

El Ibérico is distributed once a fortnight at more than 100 key spots in London populated with large numbers of Spanish and Hispanic speakers. Furthermore, they are the only form of written communication issued at the traditional newsstands located at tube stations such as Victoria, Charing Cross, St James Park, Queensway, Tower Hill, Baker Street, Camden Town etc.
