to learn Spanish?
If yes, please mention them here. 
By websites, I don’t mean news sites because although you can read them to improve your Spanish, they don’t actively teach you the language.
Somewhat contradictory to my point about news sites, there are novels specifically targeted at (adult) students at specific levels (A1/A2/B1/B2/…). Feel free to mention those.
Maybe Babadum is worth a mention, and not only for Spanish, for learning vocabulary from pictures.
However, the Spanish course is seriously flawed as it rather consistently teaches you the wrong article for feminine nouns beginning with an unstressed a, as “el avispa” (which should be “la avispa”, of course). I’m just wating to be taught “el amoto” (for “la moto”). So, use it at your own risk!

On the 2-year anniversary of you posting this topic @davidculley, I feel as though it’s probably time for me to submit my response 
My favourite YouTube channels for learning Spanish -
- Clases con Clau - https://www.youtube.com/@clasesconclau
(From Spain) This is/was my favourite channel for learning Spanish, but Claudia hasn’t posted much in the last year. There is one particular video where Claudia and her friend Kay contrast 6 differences between French and Spanish (it helps if you know a bit of French) which is one of my favourite videos on the whole internet. It is 2 ladies having far, Far, FAR too much fun 
- ESPAÑOL y FRANCÉS: ¿SON SIMILARES? ¿PODEMOS ENTENDERNOS?.
- Español con Guada - https://www.youtube.com/@espanolconguada
(From Spain) Guada has a mix of videos such as vlogs, conversations, recommendations, and actual lessons. Here is a 6 minute video as an example of a lesson - 10 conectores básicos en español 
| gramática fácil (A1-A2)
- Linguriosa - https://www.youtube.com/@Linguriosa
(From Spain) Linguriosa is now an internet superstar with almost a million subscribers, and has a variety of content, but doesn’t post new videos very often these days. Her oldest videos (~ 6 years old) are much more about learning Spanish compared to her newer material.
- Spanish con Daniela - https://www.youtube.com/@spanishcondaniela
(From Latin America) In contrast to the previous 3 who all speak Spanish from Spain (with an accent with distinciĂłn), Daniela is venezuelan and lives in Argentina and has a seseo accent. She does a lot of comprehensible input videos which are slow paced, easy to follow, and where she highlights vocabulary terms specific to the topic of the video.
Most of my other suggestions aren’t specific to Spanish, but they do include Spanish amongst the languages that they target.
I don’t listen to any podcasts that are specifically for learning Spanish, but I do often listen to the Spanish SBS podcasts which I find easy to follow. As an Australian I find the SBS foreign language material to be absolutely excellent, but I appreciate that other people might not want to hear about Australian-focussed issues in Spanish/French/Turkish or any of the other ~60 languages on offer.
In addition to Babadum as mentioned by @morbrorper, I would add 4 other sites that I find useful for learning languages where Spanish is one of the supported languages -
- Youglish - How to Pronounce Spanish Like a Native | Youglish
Youglish is a site that uses videos to show you how a word or phrase is pronounced by native speakers as part of their conversation. You can pick one of several languages using the little drop down menu “for XXXXX”. You type in a word or phrase that you’re interested in, and then the search will return a video at the point just before somebody uses that word/phrase as well as showing what is being said. You can then click the three dots at the corner of the box showing what is being said, and that will show the full transcript instead. You can click the “fast-forward” icon at the bottom of the video to skip to the next video which uses the phrase.
- Lingua - Lingua.com – Learn languages effectively online!
Lingua has reading material together with multiple-choice exercises in 16 languages graded according to CEFR levels A1 through B2 (there is an occasional text that might be graded higher). There is plenty of free material, but there is a lot of extra material for a small fee (it’s a AUD$15 payment for a year’s access to the extra material for all languages, so that would probably be about 10 EUR/USD/GBP [N.B. it is a single payment, you don’t sign up to an ongoing subscription]).
- Linguno Linguno - Language learning tools
Linguno has been in “beta” for several years, and so everything is still free. It offers several tools for 6 languages (English, French, German, Spanish, Italian and both BR and PT Portuguese). There are tools for conjugation, vocabulary etc., but the thing that I use it for is the crosswords. Each day they post several crosswords (currently 22 per day per language) targetted at different CEFR levels, themes etc., and older crosswords are accessible in the archive. If you like crosswords and would like to use them in your language learning, then this is a great resource.
- Lingolia - https://www.lingolia.com/
This is probably more well known (it’s mentioned on the Clozemaster intermediate Spanish resources list). Lingolia offers grammar lessons and exercises for 4 languages including Spanish. You can pay for more exercises, but I haven’t done so personally.
I might be able to think of some other suggestions for useful resources if I were to think about it some more, but this list is enough to soothe my guilt about not replying for 2 years

Amazing, thank you for your effort to put these resources together. 
I absolve you. 
We’re all busy.
