Spanning two floors, the new space explores the tennis icon's life on and off the court
The new Rafa Nadal Museum has opened its doors in Manacor, Mallorca. Under the banner Inside the Legend, the reimagined visitor experience takes guests on a journey through Rafael Nadal's life both on and off the court, inviting them to discover not only how a sporting legend is made, but also the person behind the achievements. The new museum has been developed in collaboration with Mediapro Exhibitions.
“Today is a very special day for me, my family and my entire team. I hope you enjoy it," Nadal said at the opening ceremony.
The experience begins with a striking immersive audiovisual tunnel that transports visitors into the mind of a young Rafa, exploring his childhood dreams and the passion for sport that shaped his earliest years. From there, the museum unfolds as an emotional and experiential journey through the defining chapters of his life and career.
Among the new highlights is Sports Legends, a large gallery dedicated to the athletes who have inspired, and continue to inspire, Rafa Nadal. The space features original memorabilia from some of the greatest names in world sport, including Michael Jordan, Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, Usain Bolt, Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Pau Gasol, among many others.
The ‘Origins’ gallery offers an intimate glimpse into the boy who dreamed of becoming a professional tennis player, featuring his first racket alongside treasured childhood mementos. Meanwhile, ‘King of Clay’ celebrates Nadal's unparalleled achievements on the surface, showcasing trophies, milestones and the statistics behind one of the most extraordinary records in sporting history.
Another centerpiece of the museum is the area dedicated to the ‘Big Three’, where visitors can relive one of the greatest rivalries in sporting history and explore the shared legacy of Rafael Nadal, Roger Federer and Novak Djokovic through exclusive audiovisual content, original memorabilia and career-defining statistics.
The museum also includes galleries devoted to Nadal's 22 Grand Slam titles, his achievements representing Spain at the Olympic Games and the Davis Cup, his ATP titles, and a series of immersive installations that allow visitors to reconnect with some of the most memorable moments of his career.
The experience culminates in ‘Inside the Legend’, a large-scale immersive audiovisual installation exploring the values, emotions and challenges that shaped Rafa Nadal's extraordinary career, while connecting visitors with the legacy he continues to build today through the Rafa Nadal Academy and the Rafa Nadal Foundation.
Visitors can also take part in a range of interactive sports and technology-based challenges, including simulators, reaction games and dynamic experiences designed to put their skills to the test. The visit can be further enhanced through a guided tour of the Rafa Nadal Academy.
Since first opening in 2016, the museum has become one of the Balearic Islands' most popular attractions, welcoming an average of more than 100,000 visitors each year.
THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO Distribution is handling the documentary’s international distribution, with the title already released in more than 80 countries
Movistar Plus+ will premiere ‘The Last Duel’ on June 12, a 56-minute GRUP MEDIAPRO production that chronicles the legendary rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, two of the greatest players in the history of soccer.
The rivalry between the two stars grew alongside their fame and achievements, creating a sporting contest that could yet have one final chapter at the FIFA World Cup 2026™.
Directed by broadcaster Ivan Fanlo, the documentary revisits the origins of the rivalry between the two icons, a legacy built on individual and team success and marked by record-breaking achievements. From Cristiano Ronaldo’s triumphs as a UEFA Champions League winner and Ballon d’Or recipient with Manchester United to the emergence of Lionel Messi, recently honored with Spain’s Princess of Asturias Award for Sports, the film traces a rivalry that extended for more than a decade.
The documentary contrasts the careers of both players while exploring a potential final chapter: a meeting at the FIFA World Cup 2026™, when Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi will be 41 and 38 years old, respectively. Cristiano Ronaldo will represent Portugal, while Messi will line up for Argentina. Should both teams reach the quarterfinals, the two players could once again face each other on the pitch.
‘The Last Duel’ offers a retrospective look at Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi both on and off the field. Through archival footage and interviews with former teammates, rivals and coaches including Jorge Valdano, Paulo Futre, Manuel Pellegrini, Mauricio Pochettino, Marc Bartra, Javier Tebas and Andoni Zubizarreta, the documentary explores how their rivalry elevated the performance of both players and helped raise LALIGA’s global profile, while providing context and depth to a global phenomenon.
The documentary will air on ‘Fanzone por M+’ (Channel 57) on Movistar Plus+, with subtitles available in English, German, Italian and French.
International distribution
THE MEDIAPRO STUDIO Distribution is responsible for the international distribution of ‘The Last Duel’, which has already been released in more than 80 countries, including Portugal, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, the United States, Italy, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, China and Ukraine.
A Movistar Plus+ original production in association with El Terrat
Following the success of El otro lado, Berto Romero returns to the world of paranormal mysteries and offbeat comedy with El otro mundo, the new season of the Movistar Plus+ original series produced in association with El Terrat. Production is now underway at locations across Catalonia.
Romero once again takes center stage as Nacho Nieto, the journalist specializing in paranormal phenomena, while also stepping behind the camera alongside Alberto de Toro, who directed the first season. As the story unfolds, the strange universe surrounding Nieto grows ever more complex, with new cases, conspiracies and unexplained phenomena drawing him ever deeper into the unknown. Blending humor, mystery and everyday horror, the series continues to explore the increasingly blurred line between the extraordinary and the absurd.
Synopsis – ‘El otro mundo’ (‘El otro lado’ Season 2)
Nacho Nieto's life is turned upside down after a baffling encounter with a series of mysterious lights that appear to abduct him. When he comes to, he is convinced he has been entrusted with an urgent message for humanity, the only problem is that he cannot remember what it is. His family sees the incident as evidence of yet another psychotic breakdown and pressures him into becoming a contributor on Nueva Era, the television program hosted by Gorka Romero. But as Nacho digs deeper in search of answers, he finds himself drawn into a world where the boundaries between reality, the paranormal and entertainment become increasingly impossible to distinguish.
The HBO Max Original documentary, produced by 100 Balas, will premiere in late 2026
HBO Max announced at Conecta Magaluf–Mallorca the start of production on ‘Expediente Linares’, a new HBO Max Original documentary that revisits the mystery that transformed Madrid's Linares Palace into the epicenter of one of the most famous and widely debated paranormal cases in Spain's recent history. The story generated an unprecedented media frenzy. Newspapers, radio stations and television programs devoted countless hours to the case, turning reports of unexplained events inside the palace into a nationwide phenomenon and what would become the most celebrated case in the history of Spanish parapsychology. More than three decades later, ‘Expediente Linares’ re-examines the mystery that captivated Spain.
The documentary explores both the reported events and the extraordinary social phenomenon that grew around them — a case that remains without a definitive explanation to this day. Eyewitness accounts, purported EVP recordings and reports of unsettling apparitions transformed the Linares Palace — then undergoing restoration before becoming the home of Casa de América — into the center of one of the most remarkable media stories in modern Spanish history. It was during this period that a long-whispered legend entered the public consciousness: the story of a mysterious young girl known as Raimundita, whose name would become inseparable from the palace and the mystery surrounding it.
Drawing on extensive archival documentation, contributions from experts both past and present, and newly uncovered witness accounts, ‘Expediente Linares’ reconstructs the case from multiple perspectives. Alongside a detailed examination of the reported phenomena, the documentary also explores the media landscape and cultural climate of early-1990s Spain that helped transform the story into a lasting part of the country's collective memory. More than an investigation into an alleged paranormal case, ‘Expediente Linares’ examines how a story can take hold of a nation, shape popular culture and continue to provoke debate decades after the events that inspired it.
‘Expediente Linares’ is produced by 100 Balas for HBO Max. The documentary is written and directed by Israel del Santo. Executive producers for 100 Balas are Alejandro Florez and Marisa Jiménez. Bibiana González serves as HBO Max's Director of Non-Fiction Content, while María Rubio and Zaida Serrano-Piedecasas are executive producers for the platform.
