Historias En Español

Eight short stories for intermediate Spanish learners who want to go beyond everyday conversation. On the Camino de Santiago, an exhausted lawyer walks alongside a retired postman who has walked the Camino nine times and has never entered Santiago. In a cenote in Yucatán, two divers discover that their guide line has been cut. On a coffee farm in Colombia, two sacks turn up with a label: "Do not sell to Lizcano". And on Lake Atitlán, a weaver receives from Madrid a photo of a T-shirt with her grandmother's design in a shop. A graded reader for learners at level B1–B2 of the CEFR: the difficulty rises from one story to the next, from the clear sentences of the first to the hypotheses, formal letters and nuances of the last. After each chapter there is vocabulary explained in Spanish, a summary and five questions; the answer key at the end points to the clue in the text. Every chapter has free audio: in the book you scan the QR code, with no account and no app.
