The Sponsors

The Puerta del Sol blog is sponsored by Champs-Elysées, Inc, publishers of Puerta del Sol, the bi-monthly audiomagazine for intermediate-to-advanced learners of Spanish.

If you've already learned basic Spanish, are fascinated by Spanish culture and life in Spain, and want to take your language skills to the next level, Puerta del Sol is the perfect self-study solution!

Edited by Jonathan Holland, writer and journalist (The Guardian, Variety, Condé Nast Traveller, Fodor, AA City Guides and editor of Puerta del Sol blog, the number one Spanish blog) and hosted by Iñaki Gabilondo, Spain's most eminent broadcast journalist, each bimonthly edition is an unbeatable combination of entertaining audio, challenging pedagogy, and fascinating editorial and annotation.

Each issue of Puerta del Sol comes on an audiocassette or CD so that you can work on your Spanish while commuting, jogging, walking the dog, or cooking dinner. Just pop the cassette or CD into any standard player and listen as many times as you like! Then you also get a magazine containing a word-for-word printed transcript of the program. Difficult words and phrases are highlighted in bold in the text and defined by Jonathan Holland in an extensive (500 entries on average) Spanish-English glossary conveniently placed on the right-hand facing pages throughout the transcript section of the booklet. As well as key contextual definitions, the glossary contains explanations of tricky grammatical constructions. At the back of the booklet you will find Jonathan's fascinating background notes that give you additional information about the people, places, and issues discussed in the program. As well as improving your Spanish, there has never been a better way to keep up to date with life in Spain and Spanish culture.
