Manuel García Gargallo (Barcelona, 24 June 1973) is a Spanish researcher and writer, specialized in history of sport.[1] He graduated in History at University of Barcelona (UB). His books have focused on sport in Balearic Islands, especially football[2] and cycling,[3] as well as classical music.[4] He fought for preservation of sports cultural heritage by contributing to the preservation of the Velodrome of Tirador and the recovery of the neighboring Canódromo Balear (older greyhound racing track) as future Urban Forest of the city.[5] He collaborates in regional press, writing about these topics and others like history or actuality.
