Understanding The Two Barcelona Newspapers - Mundo Deportivo and Sport

There are two major daily sports papers published in Barcelona: Mundo Deportivo and Sport.

Mundo Deportivo was founded in 1906, and is the oldest sports newspaper still published in Spain, and second only to Italy's La Gazzetta dello Sport in all of Europe.

It is owned by Grupo Godó, which also owns La Vanguardia, the biggest general interest paper in Barcelona, and fourth-biggest in Spain after three Madrid papers. LV is generally considered moderate in its politics. It is also considered pro-Catalan independence, though it was not always the case, and it also has some interesting ties to the Spanish nobility.
