Disclaimer: I do not claim to be impartial about this magazine. I know and admire Rene Garcia and Kelly delaflor, the founders of http://www.torontohispano.com/.
That said, their site ably fills its niche in the Toronto publishing scene. It’s the best-known and longest running site of its kind in Toronto, complete with radio station, entertainment listings… y mucho, mucho mas.
The latest issue of torontohispano magazine is out. I was one of the very first people to get their hands on the October/November issue, certainly the first of those who read it with a Spanish dictionary. That said, I’m not the only one. There are English and Spanish letters from readers in the feedback section,”Expresate.”
The magazine is available for free in Latino stores, clubs and neighborhoods. You can also subscribe online at the website.
If you are interested in local latin entertainment, fashion, photos, cultural events, religious advice, cooking and commentary on international latin entertainment, this is your magazine.
If your Spanish is excellent, they support a creative writing contest for latinos and latinas living in Canada called “Nuestra Palabra.”

Hi Cereal Girl!
I’m having such a hard time deciding who I want to go hear read – at the moment it’s a toss between Yasmin Crowther and Co. on the 22nd and Anita Rau Badami and group on the 24th (part of the attraction with wanting to go with the first group is Jian Ghomeshi,the moderator – he’s a cutie! 😉
