Skeptic resources in Spanish?

[empeake]

I am starting to get actively involved in promoting rational thinking and skepticism among the parents of my kids' school. Since I live in Mexico, one of my goals is to build a list of science, skeptic and rational thinking resources in Spanish that could be of help to them and to me.

My audience consists of what we could call “regular folk”, mostly with no scientific background, and I am following a very subtle strategy to introduce concepts of critical thinking and skepticism using several spam emails as examples. Therefore, resources that are easier to understand or more entertaining (along the lines of Snopes, What’s The Harm, SkepticWiki, The Skeptic’s Dictionary, Skeptoid, Hoax-Slayer, Quackwatch, etc.) would be more useful in my particular situation than “hardcore” skeptical sites (RichardDawkins.net comes to mind), which could drive away newcomers who find the anti-religion attacks offensive or the philosophical debates incomprehensible. However, all resources are welcome.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Some of The Skeptic’s Dictionary is available in Spanish (and other languages):

Also, a print version of it in Spanish is due to be published this year:

Sadly they are having financial problems at the time, and the magazine is no more. At least presently.

MAGONIA: Una Ventana Crítica al Mundo del Misterio is also a good skeptical resource in Spanish. Run by Spanish journalist Luis Alfonso Gámez with lots of articles, mostly current events, well-informed and well-written.

Thanks Emp! Maybe my Skeptical Spanish teacher will befriend me in the battle against woo! ( I have several kids who preach about ESP and psychics.) Does anyone know the translation for woo?

There is no direct translation. Some words that could be used are "charlatanería", "patraña" and, my personal favorite, "superchería".
