Antonio Aparisi Guijarro

He was very much a traditionalist and believer in retaining Catholic religious values and ideals and did much for as a journalist and writer.

In 1865, he was again deputy for Valencia and Pamplona and, the following year, was named a member of the Real Academia de la Lengua.

In 1870, he attended a conference on Carlism in Vevey, Switzerland, and in that same year, he received a private audience with Pope Pius IX.

On his return to Spain, he was elected senator of Guipúzcoa province, a position he held until his death on 8 November 1872.

Very influenced in his thought by Jaime Balmes and Juan Donoso Cortés, his work today is an important example of Spanish traditionalism.
