History

[edit]

The newspaper had a Catholic and fundamentalist ideology.[3] It was founded in 1908.[1][4] During the first third of the twentieth century it was one of the main newspapers published in Granada.[5] At its peak, during the 1920s, it barely managed to surpass the 5,000 daily print run.[6] It had a short period (1918–1919) in which, being under the influence of the priest Luis López-Dóriga, the newspaper had an editorial line of a Catholic-progressive nature.[7] During the anticlerical riots of May 1931 the newspaper office went up in flames.[8] After this, the newspaper stopped being published. The Catholic hierarchy tried to put it back into circulation, but the attempt failed and they decided to start a new newspaper, the Ideal.[8]
