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 preservation of Velodrome of Tirador and recovery with neighboring Canódromo Balear (older Greyhound racing) as future Urban Forest of the city.[5] He collaborates in regional press, writing about these topics and others like history or actuality.
