Several leaves have been come off the calendar from the crucial moment at which Jorge Mendoza Castle, endorsed firmly by his friendly and unanimously by their family, decided to undertake it literary journalistic adventure to found a magazine on Riohacha, city where every day mass media are born and die as they arrive and the waves of their anxious sea go away.

And thus every one went away expressing with respect to the new project. They supposed that he was simple embeleco of province journalist and one more a company of short flight, destined to increase the enormous listing of the magazines of first and unique number of the Guajira.
