History and profile
Alfaguara was established in 1964.[1] It was part of Editoriales del Grupo Santillana.[2] In March 2000 Santillana, which publishes over 117 million books each year, was acquired by the Spanish conglomerate PRISA.[3] In 2014, PRISA sold Santillana's trade operations to Penguin Random House.[4]
It awards the Alfaguara Prize, a prestigious Spanish-language literary award.[5] The prize, launched in 1998, goes to an unpublished work of fiction in Spanish.[6]
Alfaguara Infantil and Alfaguara Juvenil publish books for children and young people.[7]
