MADRID — CONNOR MCGOVERN,
COMMISSIONING EDITOR
My last trip to Madrid was when I started to
really understand the city. By day, I explored
museums and churches, and wandered
through sun-drenched barrios and leafy
parks. By night, however, I discovered a
different side to Madrid: I squeezed into
raucous bars that have barely changed in
a century, uncovered the exciting cocktail
scene and mopped up the night’s excesses
with a plate of churros. It’ll be a while before I
can visit Madrid again, so for now I’ll make do
with Spain on a screen. Thankfully, legendary
filmmaker Pedro Almodóvar’s work captures
all the hedonistic, zeitgeisty vigour of Madrid
in the 1980s, when the city was rediscovering
itself after the Franco dictatorship.BORNEO — CHARLOTTE WIGRAM-EVANS,

I'm thinking back on the week I spent with
the Kelabit tribe in Bario, a tiny cluster of
villages hidden deep in Borneo’s eastern
Highlands. As well as learning about village
life and exploring some of the 600sq miles
of rainforest on their doorstep, I spent long
evenings cackling around a campfire.
The Kelabits’ sense of sarcasm is
unparalleled, and their dry wit — paired
with an incredible warmth — has left me
longing to return. For now, I’ll be making
do with recreating the cocktail we drank
together: pineapple juice, crushed ice,
mint leaves and a lot of white rum, but
when we can travel again, you’ll find me
in the jungles of Borneo.MANCHESTER — NICOLA TRUP,
ASSOCIATE EDITOR
Last year, I took a trip back to Manchester,
the city I lived in for university and where,
secretly, my heart still lies. Yes, it rains an
inordinate amount, but with its red-brick
architecture, fantastic food and unbeatable
music scene, it’s a beauty all the same. While
confined to my London flat, I’ve been escaping
to Manchester via film (namely the fabulous
24 Hour Party People, about the city’s music
scene in the 1970s-1990s) and radio (thanks
to Greater Manchester heroes Radcliffe and
Maconie on BBC Radio 6 Music). In the words
of Radcliffe, Manchester is “a city that thinks
a table is for dancing on” — and once we’re
free to roam again, I’ll be back on that table
like a shot. READ MORE ONLINE NOWONLINE36 nationalgeographic.co.uk/travel
