when launched in 1960 "montejurra" was granted no official license. as the review was to be based in pamplona, formally its appearance on the market was made possible by verbal permission from civil governor of navarre, a decision no doubt consulted earlier with appropriate central authorities in madrid. this somewhat shaky official standing was changed probably when the review was taken over by a sociedad-anonima-type company in 1963. at that time the company was granted depósito legal, an official registration number; it enabled printing contracts with professional companies, in case of "montejurra" with the pamplona-based gráficas navarra. one more step on the path to full institutionalization of the review was formal license issued by ministry of tourism and information, the unit running the censorship office. at this point "montejurra" changed numbering of its sequential issues, also because it was to be transformed from a monthly to a weekly; in november 1964 instead of issue nr 47 the subsequent one was numbered as the first one. the plan failed and in early 1965 "montejurra" soon returned to a monthly format, yet official censorship license allowed standard commercial distribution. following a series of consorship-imposed fines and interventions, the ministry withdrew the license in april 1971, which forced closure of the monthly.
