You might have some luck with Librivox. There are Spanish recordings[0] that you could use to practice your comprehension. I did this with French, and it was very helpful. Years ago when I naively tried to learn Japanese, I listened to Oku no Hosomichi[1] over and over again, which I still to this day find to be a beautiful listen, though I gave up on trying to learn that language.

(Apologies for the marginal OT, but browsing just now those pages and skimming over 'Dos años de vacaciones' from Verne, the automatic reconstruction was the misreading 'Dos años de vac·un·aciones'. It's really been two toll-taking years.)

Back to the topic: thank you! Any similar non-fictional material around? Edit: librivox also contains non-fiction, according to the filters. (I rest my case with relevance to the above note.) It is probably not the most specialized repository for informational or educational material though?

In fact, Spanish language records filtered as 'Non-Fiction',

still produce literature (works which have their value mostly in being literary products instead of contemporary essays).
