It first appeared on October 23, 1989, founded by Alfonso de Salas, Pedro J. Ramírez (who still serves as publisher and editor), Balbino Fraga and Juan González, a journalist. Editorially, it often expresses the mainstream views of the Spanish centre-right with independent and liberal overtones. Unlike other Spanish newspapers, its editor, Pedro J. Ramírez, is a prominent public figure who has become linked with the paper in the eyes of the public.
Today El Mundo, along with Marca and Expansión, is controlled by the Italian publishing company RCS MediaGroup, through its Spanish subsidiary company Unidad Editorial S.L.
It has its headquarters in Madrid, but maintains several news bureaus in outlying cities, and different editions are printed for regions such as Andalusia, Valencia, Castile and León, the Balearic Islands and Bilbao.
