Leonoticias is a regional digital news platform serving the province of León in Castilla y León, Spain. Founded in 2007 and operated by the private limited company DESDE LEÓN AL MUNDO, S.L., it is part of the Vocento media group, a major Spanish media conglomerate. The platform delivers local news coverage across León city, its comarcas, the Bierzo region, and broader regional and national stories, with dedicated vertical coverage of local sports teams (Cultural Leonesa, Abanca Ademar, SD Ponferradina), the University of León, mining industry, and cultural events.

The product portfolio is anchored by a website (leonoticias.com) and native iOS and Android mobile applications, supplemented by email newsletters, an audio podcast, an Instagram-led visual stories feature, a digital archive (Hemeroteca), an RSS feed, a TV guide, and weather and lottery utilities.

The sub-brand Elbierzonoticias extends coverage into the El Bierzo region with shared editorial assets.

The business model is a consumer-facing, advertising-supported digital media operation, with ancillary revenue from a transactional marketplace (Oferplan), classifieds (coches, pisos, empleo), and promotional sorteos. Distribution is regional within Spain, with a 17-person newsroom and no disclosed funding, M&A, or revenue figures. The platform maintains a presence on Facebook, X, Instagram, and WhatsApp, distributing content through organic social channels to a local readership in León province.
