European Vibe is a popular free monthly magazine published in Madrid. It is the first full colour English language magazine published in Madrid and it was first published in September 2006.

European Vibe's music, or "vibes" section has featured interviews with numerous artists, including Madonna, Craig David, Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs (ex-Oasis), Javier Weyler (Stereophonics), Chambao, Shout Out Louds, The Raveonettes, La Quinta Estación, Joe Wilson (ex-Sneaker Pimps), Kaiser Chiefs,^[1] The Feeling, Eliades Ochoa (Buena Vista Social Club), Russell Simmons and Joseph Simmons (aka Rev Run, ex-Run DMC), Wyclef Jean, Guillemots, Zia McCabe (The Dandy Warhols), Stonebridge, The Sounds and Dru Hill.^[2]

The June 2007 edition contained an article by Peter Moore on the Botellon culture in Spain. The article described this act of drinking in the streets during the night time in Spain and how for many young Spanish people the act is far more representative of Spanish interests than bullfighting or flamenco. The article was translated into Spanish by the 20 minutos daily newspaper on 18 June^[3] and in the following days the story was carried in most leading Spanish newspapers and radio stations, including a live interview on Spanish radio station Cadena Ser with the magazine's Managing Director Scott Edwards.
