The best-selling paper in Spain is El País, a national daily general information newspaper, which sells about 458,000 copies per issue (2005 figure). There are only two other daily national general newspapers: El Mundo and ABC selling 310,000 and 277,000 copies per issue respectively.
In most of the 17 regions of Spain the main regional newspapers for that region, will outsell the national papers in that region. But as the national titles are sold universally in Spain, they reach much higher circulation levels than any individual regional title.
