Mixwell's live broadcasting career has also been pretty solid, with his coverage of different events constantly attracting millions of viewers. That helped him notch 157% more total Hours Watched last year than he did in the entirety of 2023, one of the highest jumps among Spanish internet personalities.

Having hit 79,139 concurrent viewers during the Valorant Champions 2024 Grand Final between Team Heretics and EDward Gaming, his highest since the end of 2021, the 29-year-old only plans on bigger things in 2025.

#6 Joaquín "elxokas" Domínguez

At one point, the Madrid resident was one of the game's biggest streamers in Spain and Europe, raking in thousands of viewers and winning the Revelation Streamer Award at the inaugural ESLAND Awards in 2021.

Nexxuz World is particularly popular for his gameplay videos and livestreams of survival games like ARK: Survival Evolved and Minecraft.

Earlier in 2024, the online star made the jump to Kick despite being one of his country's biggest names on YouTube, in addition to also having some airtime on Twitch. This move was quite the coup for the Stake-backed platform, adding to its growing legitimacy as a viable third brand for streamers looking to move away from the big two.

In fact, Rubius was both games' most-watched content creator from Spain across livestreaming services in 2024.

#2 Raul "auronplay" Alvarez

Auronplay is a prominent YouTuber and Twitch streamer known to be among the most popular Spanish-language content creators. He made his name via comedic sketches, gaming videos, and vlogs but spent most of 2024 playing Grand Theft Auto V.

In fact, thanks to his involvement in the abovementioned Marbella Vice II RP server, the 36-year-old is by far Spain's most-watched creator content for GTA V last year. The game's association with such prominent streamers, especially with its roleplaying extension, is one big reason it continues to be such a force on Twitch.

Interestingly, during an analysis of the audience location of prominent streamers by Streams Charts in September, it was found that most of AuronPlay's viewers come from outside Spain. Most of the people who consume his content religiously reside across Latin America, including Colombia, Peru, Mexico, and Chile.

The Andorra resident's broadcasts also often feature satirical commentary, parodies, and challenges, endearing him to Spanish-speaking audiences.
