Your post is quite timely for me, since it appears that HITN pulled the plug on their Destinos broadcasts just a few shows from the finale. Through three different broadcasts of this series on various networks, I've still never seen how the story ends up! I'll head over to the Learner.org link you provided to finally see the last few shows. Thanks again, -Ken- Thanks Katrina.

I'm a Spanish teacher, and used Destinos when I was a student. You can access episodes free online, if you're interested. Also, if you like Destinos you can check out "Sol y viento", which is Bill Van Patten's new text and program. He is the author of Destinos.

There is a half-hour news show called "Destinos" on CNN Espanol. Not the same thing. One more thing… There is a half-hour news show called “Destinos” on CNN Espanol. Not the same thing.

It has 52 half-hour episodes. I first caught them on weekly broadcasts by my local PBS station a couple of years ago. At the moment they are airing on cable and satellite network HITN early AM Sundays. I suspect you will have to sign up for an entire slate of Spanish language programming with your cable company to get that channel. Also, HITN's airings of the show are nearing the end of the series. I think there are only about 3 weeks left before they reach the end. I assume they'll probably start them over, but I won't know for sure until then. It's a great resource for improving your Spanish though, so keep an eye out for it on other networks. If I see that the show is going to begin anew on HITN, I'll be posting that information here as well. Yes, that’s the show: “Destinos: An Introduction to Spanish”. It has 52 half-hour episodes.

It had either English or Spanish subtitles. Do you know the name of the program? It was quite helpful and entertaining at the same time. I was thinking it might be called Destinos. I see on my cable program that Destinos is a special program that I'd have to sign up for the entire Spanish language network so hopefully it's not the same! Thanks for your help! Diane Hello,
