El Estornudo is an independent digital magazine of narrative journalism, made from Cuba, from outside Cuba, mainly about Cuba and Latin America. They surf the networks to connect at any latitude with those Cuban readers, and from the entire field of language, willing to read the events in depth. They are interested in questioning both the map and the territory. Its ideal is secular; Any corporate form is always refutable.

If you want to know Cuba beyond the confrontation of slogans and the three or four clichés recycled by the contemporary media world, you have to read this magazine.

On the other hand, its commitment, more than extraordinary, is quite obvious. Finding independence. Write without being accountable to any political commissioner and without possible economic support governing or diverting your editorial line.

They count on the island of Cuba, but they know very well that Cuba, fortunately, is already in many other places, and that it is many other islands. They don't want to ignore them. They believe that despite everything that has been said, or perhaps precisely because of it, there is still everything left to say.
