For the 2nd day in a row, no Rita? We’re not huge fans of all her politics, but during Fallas, you have to love Valencia’s mayor. She missed a great mascletà today.  Tons of falleras were in the crowd, to see a display that was classic in every sense, with fireworks that never let up and built steadily to a great finale. ¡Qué bote HolaValencia!

안녕하세요. 그렇군요. 올 여름에는 스페인으로 가실 계획을 갖고 계시네요. ^^국립대보다는 사립대쪽이 학비가 약간 비싼건 스페인도 사실입니다.하지만 최근에 유로화 많이 떨어지고 있잖아요.제가 공부할 때만해도 1800원이 넘었었는데 지금은 1500원대 밑으로까지 전망하니

Woah! Did we do something to make the Borredá Brothers angry? Because it seemed that today’s mascletà was specifically designed to punish the onlookers. Massive, unrelenting blasts and an earth-shaking finale (literally!) We were covered in goosebumps and debris by the end.

Fallas 2010: Applying the Final Touches

Hola Valencia - Mié, 03/10/2010 - 14:03


bruja-fallas

The city is slowly transforming and getting into Fallas mode – most of the main Fallas figures are already starting to get set up and in the tallers, artists are working around the clock to meet their deadlines. La Planta is just around the corner!
A Fallas workshop in Carmen was kind enough to grant me access, for a couple of pictures of their work in progress.

Shameful Censorship in Valencia

Hola Valencia - Mié, 03/10/2010 - 11:19


With its biggest popular celebration going on, Valencia should be in the news for its positive aspects. But, nope. The main story in the city for the past week has been the censorship of a few photos from an exhibit looking back on 2009.

The MuVIM’s exhibition, Fragments of a Year, brings together iconic photographs of Valencia from 2009. Politics, sports, entertainment, culture and fiestas, anything that’s made news in the Valencian Community is fair game. Or so we thought!

In blunders politics. Apparently unsatisfied with the stranglehold on power they already enjoy in Valencia, a couple functionaries in the PP have decided it’s their right to hide anything which might portray their comrades in a negative light. In a clumsy move, a public museum was forced to remove images that are politically uncomfortable to the ruling party.

As a result, the director of the MuVIM has resigned. Voices across the political spectrum, including Valencia’s mayor Rita Barberá and the national direction of the PP, are united in condemnation of the censorship. And, of course, more attention than ever is being paid to these pictures. Instead of just being a small part of a retrospective, they’ve become the main attraction. As is always the case, the practitioners of censorship are revealed as stupid and short-sighted.

And we’ll do our part to assist. Without further ado, ladies & gentlemen, the 10 censored images. The stars of the show.

(Photo: José Cuéllar) Two different kinds of power meet; former CV President Victor Campos sits down for a chat with El Bigotes… what could they be talking about?

(Photo: Santiago Carregui) Jorge Alarte of the PSOE meets with Obama’s guru Ravi Singh; perhaps censored because it shows the opposition meeting with a popular emissary? We can only speculate.

(Photo: Miguel Lorenzo) Ricardo Costa, sad after being ousted from power; he remains the only high-ranking casualty of the Gürtel investigations, and has since been given a new job

(Photo: Carles Francesc) Camps leaving the courtroom, where he appeared in connection with the Gürtel corruption investigations

(Photo: Mikel Ponce) Former Prime Minister Aznar (PP) receives an honor; Why might an image as innocent as this be censored? Because he’s smirking a bit? The image seems to cast him in a positive light.

Today’s mascletà took place under the bright, and much-needed sunlight. While the rest of Spain suffers catastrophic snow and rain, Valencians were lucky to enjoy their fiesta in the warmth of the sun. The day’s mascletà (company A. Zarzoso) wasn’t incredibly impressive, but maybe just suffered in comparison with yesterday’s bombastic success.

This year, the competition for the Best Lights Display award has heated up! Two other commissions, Cuba-Literato Azorín and Cuba-Puerto Rico are challenging the perennial victors Sueca-Literato Azorín. “Enough of the dominance”, the upstart commissions cry! “This year, you won’t have it so easy!”

But… yes, they will. Sueca is going to win again this year, easily. Good show Cuba-LA & Cuba-PR but, you don’t have a prayer. Sueca continues to occupy a stratosphere all its own — no other lights display in Valencia comes close to matching its brilliance.

We definitely appreciate the effort, though, and Cuba-LA’s lights are beautiful — a deep blue illuminating the street. The intensified competition makes a visit to the coolest, and most Fallas-crazy neighborhood in Valencia even more enticing.

Today, the world is celebrating the Day of the Woman, and this afternoon’s mascletà kept with the theme — pyrotechnic company Martí (Burriana) is led by a woman. And… are there any sexists left out there, who think a woman can’t put on an incredible fireworks show? Because today’s was one of the best we’ve seen — an incredible, everlasting finale had the crowd going nuts.

Fallas 2010: Mascletà Napolitana

Hola Valencia - Lun, 03/08/2010 - 20:04


cloud-from-hell

Along with thousands of other gluttons for punishment, Jürgen and I returned to the beach on Sunday afternoon for the rescheduled Mascletà Napolitana. This time, we were in luck — although the rain had been a constant threat all day, it didn’t begin until after the fireworks had already started.

For 20 minutes, the mascletà thundered on Malvarossa beach. Massive booms, and special tricks like whistling fireworks, and an explosion which revealed a parachuting Valencian flag delighted the on-lookers.

The overcast skies made it a gray affair, not nearly as beautiful as last year’s. But for those dedicated enough to show up, it was still pretty awesome.

Decálogo de las tarjetas

VLC Miguel's Blog - Lun, 03/08/2010 - 19:42

Algunos al leer el título de esta entrada pensarán que voy a hablar de fútbol, de Pérez Borrull o cualquier otro árbitro innombrable … y sus habilidades con tarjetas de distintos colores …

Pues no va a ser el caso … se acercan las Fallas y con ellas la visita a nuestra ciudad de muchos profesionales asiáticos … aunque no soy quien para dar lecciones a nadie … quiero hacer varias observaciones, llamémosle EL DECALOGO DE LAS TARJETAS:

1.- Las tarjetas son nuestro DNI o pasaporte en el mundo de los negocios.

2.- La persona a la que le entregamos la tarjeta debe ser capaz de entenderla. Lo habitual es que vaya en dos idiomas: en teoría en inglés (idioma internacional de los negocios) y en el idioma del país donde la entregas, o de la persona con quien quieres hacer negocios … (ruso, chino, japonés, … pues son países donde muchas personas no entienden inglés).

3.- Un hombre, un voto. Una persona, una tarjeta … No ahorres en tarjetas … lleva siempre de sobra. Entrégale una a cada persona que te presentan.

4.-  Las tarjetas no se olvidan (ni se deben acabar). Igual que no se te olvida el DNI para coger un avión, no se te deben olvidar las tarjetas en la oficina o en casa.

5.- Las tarjetas no se grapan en los folletos. (“Es para que no las pierdan” …) NO. Si la entregas debidamente y la otra persona tiene interés en tí o en tu empresa, no la perderá.

6.- Las tarjetas no son cromos, ni descuentos de discoteca que se reparten. Se entregan de manera individualizada, con dos manos, en el idioma de quien la recibe y si es alguien que no habla tu idioma, se lee tu nombre o apellido, para que sepan como pronunciar tu nombre.

7.- Igualmente se reciben y no se guardan directamente “a la saca”- cual trofeo de caza (alé otra, a la colección) … se miran con detenimiento, mostrando un interés en la persona que te la entrega. 10-15 segundos puede ser suficiente.

8.- Un puesto de trabajo, una tarjeta- al menos si vas a conocer gente o hacer negocios.  No entregues la tarjeta de otra persona.La tarjeta es como el DNI, personal e intransferible.

9.- Además de datos de contacto, deben indicar el cargo en la empresa. A todos nos gusta saber con quién estamos hablando, que poder de decisión o que funciones tiene, etc.

10.- Evita escribir en las tarjetas (al menos delante de la otra persona).

En general este decálogo puede ser útil para cualquier país, pero es vital su aplicación cuando queremos hacer negocios con culturas orientales.

There was a big crowd on-hand for today’s mascletà, carried out by Pirotecnia Gori of Mislata.  Colorful, loud, and with a rousing finale, it was everything that a mascletà needs to be. The size of the crowd was amazing considering the nasty weather — apparently, nothing is going to stop Valencians from enjoying their most important fiesta!

Estoreta-2010

What little troopers! The kids marching in this morning’s Cant d’Estorta had to brave the nasty weather which has put a real damper on Fallas.  From the warmth of a cozy cafe, we watched cute, shivering children re-enact famous scenes from history. "Brrrr", I thought, eating my piping hot patatas bravas, "those poor, freezing, ADORABLE kids!"

Many of the mini-floats were great, but we especially loved the hot air balloons. Good job kids!  It’s never too young to learn that art is all about suffering and misery.
