One of the most popular sport newspapers in Spain is Marca. This year it is its 70th birthday and one of the activities to commemorate this event is an exhibition of sport photographies. They can be seen in the Corte Ingles located at Paseo de la Castellana during February 2008.
The exhibition will be shown at different Corte Ingles malls in Spain until December 2008.
It presents about 500 photographies showing not only famous sportsmen, but also interesting and historical sport events. All of them have been published in the newspaper.
Marca started its history 1938 in San Sebastian and four years later opened its offices in Madrid. 30000 copies of the first edition were sold. Nowadays Marca has over 2,3 million readers and over 5,6 million visitors in its webpage www.marca.com.
The exhibition was inaugurated today by Madrid´s mayor, Ruiz Gallardon, who stated that the city is supporting the project Madrid 2016 in order to celebrated the Olimpic Games of that year here. He also said that one of the dreams Marca shares with the citizens is the opportunity to write the headline “Madrid, site of the Olimpic Games 2016“.
