Spain Sports

Spain Sports posts cover the country’s sporting culture from football down to the smaller traditions. Articles look at La Liga and the Real Madrid versus Barcelona rivalry, the national team and the run from 2008 to 2012, basketball and the ACB league, cycling with the Vuelta and the long road tradition, tennis since the rise of Nadal, the bullfighting calendar in Madrid and Seville, the Basque pelota courts and the very old jai alai. There are also pieces on padel as a Spanish reinvention of squash and on the local rowing trainera races along the north coast.
