The Proa newspaper (later renamed La Hora Leonesa) was a Spanish newspaper published in León between 1936 and 1984.
History
The first issue was published on 10 November 1936,[1][2] following the outbreak of the Spanish Civil War. It was printed at the facilities of the now-defunct newspaper La Democracia, which had been seized by the Nationalists.[3] After the Nationalist victory in the Spanish Civil War Proa became owned by the Cadena de Prensa del Movimiento[4] In 1975 the newspaper changed its name to La Hora Leonesa.[5] After Franco's death, it was integrated into the state-owned media organization Medios Social del Estado[6] (State Social Communication Media). In 1984, the state held a public auction of the newspaper.[7] The company that owned Diario de León participated in the auction and acquired La Hora Leonesa, but immediately decided to close it down on 16 May 1984.[8][9]

Its pages featured contributions from authors such as Francisco Umbral, Domingo del Prado, Francisco González or Luis Pastrana.[10]
