History

Ideal had in its origins in the Catholic and conservative daily La Gaceta del Sur , which had disappeared in 1931. The Catholic hierarchy of Granada decided to launch a new newspaper, counting on the collaboration of journalists such as Ángel Herrera Oria y de Pedro Gómez Aparicio. [5] The newspaper went to the streets for the first time on May 8, 1932. [6] It was edited by Editorial Católica. [7] In these early years of existence was a clearly confessional and conservative newspaper, [8] and its main journalistic rival was the liberal El Defensor de Granada . [9] In the context of the 1930s, Ideal was the best manufactured newspaper in the province, [10] surpassing others published in this period. [lower-alpha 1] During this era, it highlighted the work of Ramón Ruiz Alonso, [10] the paper's typographer. [12] During the years of the Second Republic the publication, which reached a circulation of 9000 copies, [13] according to CEDA. [14]

On 10 March 1936 a group of right wing supporters [lower-alpha 2] set fire to the offices of Ideal, whose printing press was destroyed and the premises reduced to the foundations. [16] As a consequence, the newspaper did not circulate for some months. In early July, the newspaper returned to Granada, shortly before the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War.
