Al Qantir

Al Qantir is a Spanish publication brand and scholarly journal whose full title is Al Qantir. Monografías y Documentos sobre la Historia de Tarifa (Monographs and Documents on the History of Tarifa). It is dedicated to publishing research on the history of Tarifa, a municipality at the southernmost tip of Spain whose strategic position between two seas, two continents and two civilizations has given it a distinctive place in Spanish history. The journal exists to publicize the ongoing historical research being carried out on Tarifa's past. Al Qantir is issued both in print and in digital format. It is a non-profit publication, and the original works it publishes are released under a Creative Commons license. It is edited by the Museo-Fundación Wenceslao Segura, a museum-foundation based in Tarifa. In addition to regular issues, Al Qantir publishes the proceedings of the Jornadas de Historia de Tarifa (Tarifa History Conference) as special or extraordinary numbers. The journal maintains a formal editorial structure, with a contact address, an editorial board (Consejo de redacción), section policies, an open-access policy, online submission, a privacy statement, sponsors, and a journal history page. Its website provides browsing by issue, author, title, section and identification type, and it offers information for readers, authors and librarians. As of the evidence, the journal has reached at least issue number 30 (2026), whose theme is the total solar eclipse of 2 August 2026 in Tarifa. Because it is a small, mission-driven scholarly imprint rather than a commercial consumer brand, Al Qantir's identity is closely tied to its place of origin and to the foundation that publishes it. Its output is aimed at historians, local researchers, libraries and readers interested in the history of Tarifa and the surrounding region.

Al Qantir was created to give publicity to the historical research being carried out on Tarifa, a town whose strategic position between two seas, two continents and two civilizations has made its history unusually significant within Spain. The journal's own description notes that the fate of the country was decided more than once on Tarifan soil, and that in recent years research into what happened in Tarifa in past times has been incessant. Al Qantir was born as the vehicle for publishing these studies, dedicated to monographs and documents on the history of Tarifa. The publication is edited by the Museo-Fundación Wenceslao Segura, a museum-foundation that provides the institutional base for the journal. Al Qantir is published in both paper and digital formats, operates on a non-profit basis, and releases its original works under a Creative Commons license. It also publishes the proceedings of the Jornadas de Historia de Tarifa as extraordinary numbers. The journal maintains a structured editorial operation, with a contact point, an editorial board, section policies, an open-access policy, online submission, a privacy statement, sponsors and a journal history page. Its website allows readers to browse content by issue, author, title, section and identification type, and provides dedicated information for readers, authors and librarians. By 2026 the journal had reached issue number 30, themed around the total solar eclipse of 2 August 2026 in Tarifa, indicating a long-running and continuing publication schedule.
