El Norte de Castilla is a Spanish-language daily newspaper based in Valladolid, Spain. After Faro de Vigo, founded in 1853, El Norte de Castilla is one of the oldest daily newspapers in the country, tracing its origins to 1854. The main edition is published in Valladolid, but editions are published for Palencia, Salamanca, and Segovia.[1][2][3] The paper has a widely accessed Spanish-language website and is considered to be the most reliable and influential periodical in Castile.[4]
History
The newspaper can be traced to 1854, when Mariano Pérez Mínguez and Pascual Pastor created El Avisador ("The Reminder"). In 1856, this paper merged with a local competitor, El Correo de Castilla ("The Castile Courier").[5]
