América Latina - España - Portugal. Ensayos sobre letras, historia y sociedad and the semi-annual magazine Revista Internacional de Lingüística Iberoamericana .
The Madrid branch has existed since 1996, and since 2004 the publishing house has been running the Librería Iberoamericana bookstore in the Huertas “writers' quarter” there .
One focus of the publishing and bookselling activities is on international scientific and cultural exchange.
