"montejurra" made little if any impact on the spanish market in general; it was nowhere near the role of a major discussion platform, performed by monthly reviews like "cuadernos para el diálogo" or "el ciervo". however, it was vital for carlism of the 1960s. fairly popular among the young and mid-age generation of party militants, together with other periodicals set up at the turn of the 1950s and 1960s - like "información mensual", "azada y asta" and "esfuerzo común" – it served as key information channel within the movement. some scholars claim that "montejurra" was the most important carlist publication since the civil war; the claim can hardly be verified, yet it remains clear that no party publication could have compared to "montejurra" in terms of popularity, the success resulting from its format of professionally edited, colored illustrated magazine. other scholars remain more cautious and though they consider the monthly indeed vital for the carlists, they note that it did not set the tone but merely followed political direction marked by other party periodicals, especially "información mensual".
