Despite being mostly distributed in Catalonia, La Vanguardia has Spain's fourth-highest circulation among general-interest newspapers, trailing only the three main Madrid dailies – El País, El Mundo and ABC, all of which are national newspapers with offices and local editions throughout the country.
Its editorial line leans to the centre of politics and is moderate in its opinions, although in Francoist Spain it followed Francoist ideology and retains Catholic sensibilities and strong ties to the Spanish nobility through the Godó family.
