The name Vegueta symbolizes the cultural oasis blooming at this crossroad. With a foot in Africa, its heart in Latin-America, and its head in Europe, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria’s colonial district has been both a point of arrival and of departure and it displays an unusual diversity due to the influence of three continents, the exchange of knowledge, tolerance, and the cultural wealth of cities that look towards the horizon. 

In Vegueta we want to delve into the values of the neighborhood from which we took our name, promoting learning, tolerance, and diversity; adding our small drop to the ocean of literature and knowledge. 

The name of our publishing house also alludes to the purpose of the old colonial enclave as a link, an intermediary, and the attempt to evoke it every day while tackling our fundamental aim: to facilitate, under the best possible conditions, contact between the authors about whom we are passionate and as many readers as possible. 

CHALLENGES 
To not publish in a rush, concentrating our energy only on works that enthrall us and which we can work on conscientiously. 
To give shape to a coherent catalogue, a timeless collection that preserves its value and its interest beyond vogues and trends. 
To publish works and authors who move and enlighten us, those who have a lot to say and who can impact our ways of thinking and worldviews. 
To contribute new ideas and create publications that enrich culture and knowledge. 
To improve reading experiences, paying special attention to the illustrations that accompany the texts, and the ‘green’, environmentally-friendly paper they rest on, in order to promote the sense of touch and the artistic judgment of our readership. 
To support young authors, illustrators, and designers who present new languages and forms of expression and are able to bring different generations together. 
To pay attention to every last detail in our publications to offer readers of every age an exceptional reading experience.
