In the past the standard spelling for [este/esta] and [aquel/aquella] as pronouns was with an accent ([éste/ésta] and [aquél/aquélla]). Nowadays the [Real Academia Española] advises that the accented form is only required where there might otherwise be confusion with the adjectives ([este/esta] and [aquel/aquella]).
