The Spanish audio magazine Puerta del Sol, published by Champs Elysées, is one of the best products on the market for intermediate and advanced learners.

Puerta del Sol is published bimonthly and comes in the form of a 1-hour long cd, plus a printed magazine with the whole transcript and a +500-word Spanish-English glossary. The content covers a wide variety of topics: interviews with Spanish speakers from around the world, book and movie reviews, songs and song lyrics, travel articles, history, current affairs, life in the Spanish-speaking world, sports, food, entertainment, wine, etc.

If you're looking at expanding your Spanish vocabulary fast, this is the product I can recommend the most. I've often used it with my own students. The recordings constantly introduce you to new and useful words, and you can practice those new words at your own pace with the audio flashcards included in the study supplements that come with every issue of Puerta del Sol.

You can get a Puerta del Sol 1-year subscription for $129. To hear several extracts and to see what it looks like, choose a demonstration above and then click on the words 'Contents', 'Article 1 & 2', etc., to load each section's text and audio.
