Editor Liam Campbell shares his unexpected emotional journey creating the Madrid issue, from tears shed over the contributors’ stories to surprises about the city’s spirited nature. The collection of narratives ranges from romantic awakenings against a backdrop of activism to profound personal growth and acceptance.
‘Elska Madrid’ presents sixteen local men in their urban jungle and intimate spaces, each story a unique glimpse into personal revelations. Highlights include tales of love found in activism, embracing the ageing process, lending a hand for self-discovery, and learning to love one’s physical self.
Spanning 180 pages, the main issue, along with ‘Elska Ekstra Madrid’—offering bonus content and outtakes—is available in select shops and online. Discover Madrid’s queer heartbeat in this poignant edition at www.elskamagazine.com.
