Spanish stories at intermediate level
I ran across this site which contains a few stories written at what I consider to be an intermediate level (with children's picture stories being beginner's level or the flash songs at this site).
Since I have found stories like these hard to find online, I thought I might share the link.
Please read the first story "La Estrella Verde" [2 pages] and let me know if you are aware of any other sites that have short stories at this level. At times, I find it entertaining to read a story where I don't have to look up every other word (or try to follow the syntax and grammar).
Sites like this one for hispanoparlantes to learn English are full of wonderful resources.

Thoughtful people like you make this site a daily "must" for me. Muchas gracias por ësta informacïon.
Sihara just opened a thread on a TV channel, that might be interesting for learners.
Thank you. I think my vocabulary is at an advanced beginner level now and I will go to this site when I come home from work this evening. But you write "read the first story"...Have you stumbled across any sites at which one can "listen" (with text for backup) as well?
Actually I've never looked for any. I'm still working on reading and writing. I've only begun to watch movies in Spanish with English subtitles to train my ear. I have no acquaintances that speak Spanish so being able to listen to it is not a high priority for me. If I stumble across any I will let you know. (I have tried cutting and pasting stories (in Spanish) into Word and letting the screen reader (program for visually impaired) read the story to me so I know who Antonio and Maria (synthethic voice engines) are that Lazarus alluded to in another thread. It's a start (if you trust synthetic voice engines).
That does sound about like a intermediate level story, I could understand 75% precent ofit.
It's the modismos that throw you for a loop. I read the sentence about the village having un gato encerrado half a dozen times to be sure I wasn't misreading it before I looked up gato in our dictionary and found out what gato encerrado means. [to smell a rat, or suspect that something is wrong]
¡De nada señor! Buena suerte.

Muy interesante Quentin, otra posibilidad de ampliar el vocabulario y practicar. 
Si lo lees y tienes preguntas, ya sabes...ponlas en "vocabulario".
