Did you know … [V] [BA] [B] <<< |

…
that the month of July brings all sorts of events to Valencia under the name
of 'Feria de Julio'?
You definitely shouldn't miss the closing act
of this July
Fair:
the Battle of Flowers (Batalla de Flores).
It takes
place the 25th
of July. Supposedly it’s a spectacular parade of coaches which are decorated
with flowers. And as if these flowers are not enough, the public throws
thousands of flowers and petals.
…
Cachondos, written by Dario Cortés, is performed in Teatro Vital in Buenos
Aires?
I
quote: ‘Cachondos es un espectáculo lleno de humor absurdo …… y musical’.
You can go see this play on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Tickets are
twelve dollars. |

… that you can watch a
movie in open air and take a swim afterwards in the
pool of Bernat Picornell on the Mont Juic in Barcelona? This week you can go
see Cuando menos te lo esperas, Cold Mountain and Goodbye, Lenin! Tickets
cost € 7, the movie starts at 22.30 and the pool stays open until 2.30 in
the morning. |

Well, let’s be honest, there’s a big chance you’ve already seen this
film. It’s been playing for months now. But still, if you haven’t and
you’re up for a story you don’t encounter much in movies today, if you
enjoy a little drama, a little love, a little sex, a little humour, you
should go and check it out. |
|
A little, a little… Although I don’t really want to give my opinion:
A lot of ‘little’ makes a great movie. If you’re a beginner in
Spanish you should bring a friend who can explain some of the
dialogues, because at times they speak very fast. But even if there
were no words used
at all,
the appearance of one of the main characters is worthy of your time… |

Does this picture ring a bell: You’re sitting in a café, cup of coffee in
your hand and before you, on the table, the newspaper with the classifieds.
You need money, so you need a job. Well, good luck finding one! |
