The newspaper was established as La Gaceta de los Negocios in March 1989. [2] [3] [4] It was part of Grupo Zeta in the 1990s. [5] In 1994 the paper had a circulation of 17,736 copies. [5]

The paper previously belonged to Grupo Negocios until August 2009 when it was bought by Intereconomia Group. [3] On 21 October 2009, the newspaper was relaunched nationally under the name La Gaceta.

Its headquarters are in Madrid [4] and it had branches in Barcelona, Bilbao, Valencia, and Valladolid. Conservative and economically liberal, La Gaceta positioned itself as the leading representative of Spanish conservatism and traditionalism. [8] It took strong stances against abortion and same-sex marriage and heavily criticized the Socialist government of 2004-2011.

In December 2013 the paper ceased print publication. [3] [9] It continues to publish online. [9]
