Laura K. Lawless (http://spanish.allinfo-about.com/mybio.html)
reviews Puerta del Sol, an audiomagazine for intermediate and
advanced Spanish students. She writes that a subscription to
Puerta del Sol includes the following three segments:

1. A CD or 60-minute audio of articles, interviews, and music,
specially chosen and edited to help improve Spanish listening
skills, grammar, and vocabulary. The audio is done entirely by
native Spanish-speaking professional broadcasters, and is
formatted like a radio show.

2. An approximately 60-page magazine with a complete
transcript of the audio and a glossary: The difficult vocabulary
and expressions are highlighted in bold in the transcript, then
translated and usually elaborated upon in the glossary.

3. Optional study guide with pre- and post-listening exercises.


There are occasional features about Latin America, but Puerta
del Sol focuses mainly on Spain, and thus Castilian Spanish.
Puerta del Sol is published by Champs-Élysées, Inc., along with
similar audiomagazines in French (http://french.about.com/cs/
listening/fr/champselysees.htm), Italian (http://www.champs-
elysees.com/products/italian/product.aspx), and German (http://
www.champs-elysees.com/products/german/product.aspx).
