What I love about Spain is the difference between the design coming out of Madrid, which is more rooted in Modernism and corporate identity, with that coming out of Barcelona, which is more avant garde and experimental. Plus, for whatever is worth, I think some of the best graphic design work right now is coming out of Barcelona. They are not in the bookmarks below, but the work of Alex Trochut and his former employer Vasava are simply outstanding. So, just like the last set of bookmarks, this is not a definitive list nor does it intend to be the best-of, just what I have bookmarked. If you would like to add designers or design firms feel free. The more the better.
