From The Vault
Starting with something I wrote for Volata back in Spring 2015
Now then! Having never made a conscious effort to make a record of most things I’ve been lucky enough to do in my career so far, I thought I’d start posting a few under a new section.
Volata - issue #4
Right at the start, when I was still finishing my Masters degree in Madrid, I had a short spell as an intern at Eurosport Spain. Editing and checking news items for the eurosport.es website, writing football match reports, checking the live scores and blogs, this was the first real contact I ever had with a live editorial scenario.
Fast forward a few years, and I was asked to contribute a couple of bits of writing to a brilliant Spanish cycling magazine, Volata. They were doing a themed issue on Cycling in Britain, and this was the first piece I’d written in any language for a few years.
The description of the issue before it sold out was as follows:
“En su número de primavera, VOLATA se centra en como Londres está haciendo su revolución particular para integrar la bicicleta en su plan de movilidad urbana a la vez que el Reino Unido se convierte en uno de los países donde la afición al ciclismo ha crecido más en los últimos años. Completamos el retrato de esta gran urbe con entrevistas al director y documentalista Michael B. Clifford, al chef con estrellas Michelin Ashley Palmer-Watts, un extenso reportaje sobre Bradley Wiggins y una visita al velódromo de Herne Hill así como artículos de opinión a cargo de Robert Hatch, Miguel Morrás y Sergio Palomonte. V#4 también incluye un reportaje fotográfico de Jack Chevell sobre las Revolution Series de pista en Manchester, un recuerdo a la maglia nera del Giro y la secciones habituales. 10€ / 124 páginas / Dos portadas a elegir.”
The magazine is still going strong. If you’re a Spanish speaker, give their website a visit.
