Colombia's magazine Placeres, founded by Spanish businessman Jaime de Polanco, premiered its second issue in Bogotá this week and is set to transition to a quarterly publishing schedule in January. The magazine's purpose is to celebrate gastronomy, travel, and the enjoyment of everyday life, offering readers an alternative to the digital-driven, fast-paced media landscape.
The magazine's approach combines food, travel, art, culture, and experiences that make life more fulfilling. This editorial stance aims to champion leisurely reading, high-quality storytelling, and a deeper appreciation for the details that distinguish exceptional moments from fleeting trends.
Polanco, a proponent of "the language of good taste," emphasizes the importance of cultivating pleasure through curiosity, knowledge, and sensitivity. The magazine's diverse content spans Colombia, Latin America, and Spain, focusing on topics like cuisine, wine, art, fashion, and design. By exploring the stories behind these elements, Placeres seeks to create a bridge between various aspects of life that contribute to a richer, more meaningful existence.
During the launch event, held at La Cometa art gallery, Polanco highlighted the magazine's commitment to quality, meticulous print production, and the exploration of what makes certain places, people, and experiences worthy of attention. The goal is to appeal to an audience that values understanding the origins of a great meal, a distinctive destination, or a well-crafted piece of design.
With its focus on quality and cultural connection, Placeres aims to offer readers a unique perspective on life's pleasures beyond the surface of luxury and accumulation.
