La Casa Rojas: A new online Spanish-language magazine
Yeah, yeah, I know, there’s a ton of stuff out there already about Spain and Latin America, but is there any place on the ‘net where can you find intelligent, interesting articles, written from the perspective of everyday people, about life in multiple Spanish-speaking countries? Wouldn’t it be nice to have one place you could visit online where you could read about different Spanish-speaking countries?
Welcome to La Casa Rojas, a brand new online magazine created by Joan Rojas. If the last name is familiar, it’s because Joan is the wife and business partner of Luis Rojas of Rojas Spanish.
Joan has undertaken an incredible task. She’s assembled a group of approximately 20 writers and bloggers from disparate backgrounds from across Latin America and Spain to write about the culture, food, history, politics and daily life in their respective countries, and all of it in Spanish. Luis also will provide insights into linguistic aspects of the Spanish language.
La Cosa Rojas launched earlier today and is already filled with content from contributors from Argentina, Chile, Costa Rica, Cuba, Mexico, Spain and Uruguay, the U.S., with more content on its way from Peru. Also, for some articles, the authors will read their stories, so an audio recording will eventually accompany several of the articles. Yours truly will also be a regular contributor with at least one piece, possibly two, a month. Here’s my first submission: La cocina innovadora de España
The magazine will be visible to the public for the next few days. On June 15 it converts to a membership site, but a three-month subscription is only $15.
Drop by La Casa Rojas muy pronto. Su casa es tu casa.

Thank you Eleena for this great shout out! We are indeed very excited to have so many wonderful contributers from all over Latin America and Spain writing for us, YOU AMONG THEM!!
The next edition will include articles from all the countries already represented as well as Venezuela, El Salvador and probably a couple more as we ramp up to get them all involved – I believe we’ve counted 26 in total ….!
Thank you as well for your article in our ‘maiden’ edition – it is SO INTERESTING! There are not many things more captivating than what is happening around food in our world. I still can’t believe the foto you included is not really cavier!
We are just all round proud and honored to have YOU as a part of our team as we strive to bring all the best that the hispanic and Spanish culture has to offer to our readers. We have long been fans of the fantastic and varied programs you offer and will continue to endorse all of them. In fact I really believe our programs compliment one another well, don’t you? Well, thanks again for everything! (Looking for your article for the next edition…is it on it’s way?) Saludos, Joan
