What members read between meetings

A.A.'s own literature does most of the heavy lifting between meetings in Spain. These are the books most often spotted on a member's bookshelf, in both English and Spanish, with a short note on what each one is for. Each card is tagged with its language.

The book Bill W. and Dr. Bob wrote first, in 1939. Most members pick up a copy in their first week or two and keep it close.

Look on Amazon

Bill W.'s longer essays on each Step and each Tradition. The usual companion read once the Big Book starts to feel familiar.

Look on Amazon

A short, practical book about the day-to-day of staying sober. Often the one a sponsor suggests in the first month.

Look on Amazon

One short A.A. reading for each day of the year, with a thought to carry into it. Members often keep a copy on the kitchen counter.

Look on Amazon

Brief passages from A.A.'s co-founder, arranged by topic. Some groups read one aloud at the top of every meeting.

About AA in Spain

Madrid and Central Spain

Madrid has the largest Spanish-language AA calendar in the country, with established groups across the city and the surrounding metro. The downtown and central neighborhoods (Chueca, La Latina, Salamanca) have evening calendars. Spanish-language meetings reflect the city's role as the country's recovery hub. English-speaking meetings serve the substantial international community.

Barcelona, Valencia, and the Mediterranean coast

Barcelona anchors meeting networks across Catalonia, with Spanish-language and some Catalan-language groups. Valencia and Alicante serve the Costa Blanca. The Costa del Sol (Malaga, Marbella, Fuengirola, Estepona) has a particularly strong English-speaking AA calendar serving the large British and Irish resident communities. Granada, Seville, and the cities of Andalusia round out the south.

The Balearics, Canary Islands, and northern Spain

Mallorca, Ibiza, and Menorca have year-round meeting calendars with both Spanish-language and English-speaking groups. The Canary Islands (Gran Canaria, Tenerife, Lanzarote, Fuerteventura) maintain substantial English-speaking calendars given the long-term resident communities and year-round tourism. Bilbao, San Sebastian, and the cities of the Basque Country and Galicia anchor the northern meeting networks.

Getting to a meeting in Spain

Madrid has a substantial Metro network. Barcelona's Metro and tram network covers the city. Renfe AVE high-speed and Cercanias commuter rail connect the major cities and metro areas. The directory shows each meeting's exact address with one-tap navigation links.
