El Sol (meaning "the Sun" in English) was a Spanish newspaper published in Madrid, Spain, between 1917 and 1939.
El Sol was first published on 1 December 1917 [1] by Nicolás María de Urgoiti. Edited by Manuel Aznar Zubigaray, its writers included Julio Álvarez del Vayo and Ernesto Giménez Caballero. The paper had its headquarters in Madrid. [2]
El Sol ceased publication in early 1939, after the Falange forces of Francisco Franco captured Madrid, and the newspaper's facilities were taken over by the Falange newspaper Arriba . [1]
