Celebrating Catalonia’s sporting talent

In a coun­try that is home to one of the best foot­ball clubs in the world, there is still room for ex­cel­lence in other sports, even if they might not be as pop­u­lar among the gen­eral pub­lic. In fact, Cata­lan ath­letes have made world head­lines in less com­mon sports, such as trail run­ning, trial or kayak­ing, to name just a few. Our main fea­ture this month fo­cuses on who’s who among Cat­alo­nia’s sport­ing elite, from Kílian Jor­net, one of the world’s best ul­tra­dis­tance and moun­tain run­ners, to top fe­male ath­letes, such as trail run­ner Núria Picas, trial and Dakar cham­pion Laia Sanz, or Olympic swim­mer Mireia Bel­monte. Also, as every year, we mark the start of spring with a look at the lat­est fash­ion trends hit­ting the run­ways this sea­son. We also up­date you on the lat­est ad­vances in tech­nol­ogy, and break down the Black Music Fes­ti­val in Girona. As usual, some­thing for every­one. Enjoy and stay tuned!
