Grupo Editorial Santillana has its origins in the publishing house Santillana, which was founded in 1960 with the educational mission of providing teachers and students with innovative and high-quality instructional materials.Though Santillana originated in Spain, it is now an international publisher with affiliates in almost all Spanish-speaking countries, as well as in Portugal, the United Kingdom, Brazil, and the United States.
In the 1970s,Grupo Santillana broadened its activity to trade publishing, featuring a wide range of trade books in Spanish for both children and adults. Its many prestigious trade imprints include: Alfaguara, Aguilar, Taurus, Alamah, Altea and Alfaguara Juvenil/Infantil, Richmond, and Santillana, Punto de lectura.
In the 1990s,Grupo Santillana began operating in the adult online education market. This project culminated with the creation of two new divisions, Santillana Formación (Santillana Education) and Instituto Universitario de Posgrado (Postgraduated Studies Institute). Currently, Grupo Santillana boasts twenty-one offices worldwide and is the largest educational publisher in the Spanish-speaking world. Since March 2000, Grupo Santillana is part of PRISA, the leading Spanish- and Portuguese-language group in education, communication, and entertainment, with a presence in twenty-two countries in Europe and America.
