The shops of Port of Javea, in collaboration with the Department of Economic Development, is hosting a special fair during the long holiday weekend of the “Constitución” in which everyone will be able to enjoy the shopping, entertainment and children's activities and start soaking up the Christmas spirit. According to the president of the Aduanas del Mar Business and Trade Association (ACEAM), Geovanny Sanchez, this year they have chosen to feature local craftsmen who make their own products rather than bring in outside craftsmen. The businesses in the Port have also decided to reward customers who make purchases upwards of 15 euros with gift vouchers redeemable for horse and buggy rides, bouncy castles or a giant ball that children can enter and, with adult supervision, roll around the Plaza Jaume I, where the fair is to be held.
The local shops, bars and restaurants that participate will be easily recognized thanks to the red carpet at the door and the stars they will place in their windows. These include an array of clothing and accessories shops, jewelry shops, gift and decoration, perfumeries, hairdressers and beauty salons, bookshops, food shops and delicatessens. The restaurateurs of the Port in Marina Española, Andrés Lambert and Cristo del Mar will also be offering special Christmas fair menus from Saturday December 3rd to Tuesday December 6th, from 11.00 am to 2.00 pm and from 5.00 to 8.00 pm.
At the fair based in the Plaza Jaume I, visitors will also be able to shop at the artisan posts from the Arenal or the Bruja Etreus magic shop, or enjoy savouries from the Oliva Negra mobile snack bar, which will be offering crepes, soups, hot chocolate and wine. With Christmas decorations and the sound of carols in the air, the fair will host the first visit by one of the postmen of the Magi, who have already begun collecting letters from children. Finally, there will also be stands dedicated to charities such as the Red Cross and Caritas del Puerto.

Javea prepares for the Gota Fria, heavy rain season
The councillor of public Safety, Juan Ortolá, has held a meeting with all the security services and voluntary organisations to plan and co-ordinate their functions in the face of possible heavy rain. The councillor explained that the high temperatures occurring during this month of September combined with a sea temperature of around 26° are risk factors that could lead the occurrence of a “gota fría”. Therefore the department of Environment and Services is coordinating efforts to clean the drainage systems in areas most prone to flooding, such as Avenida de la Fontana, Avenida de la Libertad and Calle Niza in the Arenal and Calle Santísimo Cristo del Mar in the port. These had previously been cleared but will now be checked to remove any detritus that may have collected recently.
The department has also prepared a list of ravines and channels that need to be cleaned as well as areas which may pose problems, such as areas of bamboo cane and eucalyptus growing on the river bed of the Río Gorgos which could block bridges if torn from the surface by floodwater.
The gathering, which was attended by officers from the Policía Local, Guardia Civil, the provincial fire service, Protección Civil and the volunteer fire service of Balcón al Mar, also served to review the tasks to which each group has been assigned according to the municipal ‘Emergency Plan’ and the best way to coordinate them as well as external resources that can be called on when necessary.
The town hall has decided to transfer immediately to all schools, nurseries and education centres the notices and orange alerts determined by the ‘Emergency Plan’ before the risk of heavy rains so that they can decide on the necessary preventative measures. In addition, a booklet has been prepared with all the recommendations in case of storms and flooding which will be provided to parents of all students and at the general level, leaflets will be distributed amongst residents. The councillor stressed that this type of action is not to frighten residents but to prepare everyone on how to react if faced with such a difficult situation as the floods that devastated much of the area just four years ago.

Alicante-Valencia rail link land grab
THE REGIONAL public works council has released details of the land that is to be expropriated ahead of the building of the Alicante to Valencia coastal rail link.
The building of the rail line will see property in Alicante, Muchamiel, Campello, San Vicente, Agost, Monforte, Villajoyosa and Benidorm expropriated.
Owners of the affected land now have two months in which to view the plans in their respective town halls and present their appeals should they wish to do so.
Last April, regional government reached an agreement with the public works ministry under which it agreed to build the 82 kilometre stretch of the line between Alicante and Dénia and the ministry would build the remaining 58 kilometres from Dénia to Gandía.
The cost of the project has been put at 1,500 million euros and it envisages a rail link between Alicante airport and Benidorm that will move people between the two destinations in just 36 minutes. Benidorm is listed as being one of the 50 most populated urban areas in Spain yet it is the only one that does not have a proper main line rail link.

Gandia TV closed down by Gandia Town Hall
Gandia Town Hall has closed Gandia TV after 13 years of operations.
Spanish media reports that Gandia Town Hall has closed its local TV channel "Gandia Televisio", with the loss of 30 jobs.
Reports say that the closure of Gandia TV is a temporary measure, while the correct broadcast licence is obtained. This is due to a regional Valencian government case against Gandia TV for not having the correct licence.

Confusion About Free UK Television in Spain - Freeview Or Freesat?
Confusion About Free UK Television in Spain - Freeview Or Freesat?
Many people are confused about whether they can receive free UK television in Spain. The subject of what UK channels you can receive is something we are always being asked. Terms such as free UK television in Spain, Freeview and Freesat are always cropping up so we shall explain it to you.
Many people, including satellite installers in Spain, get confused about Freeview and Freesat. If satellite TV installers are unable to get their terminology correct, then no wonder British expats on the Costa's in Spain are getting more and more confused about how to receive UK TV in Spain.
As British expats move to the warm coastal areas of southern Spain in the Mediterranean, they find it frustrating that they are not able to watch the UK television programmes such as BBC1, BBC2, ITV1, Channel 4 and Channel 5, or the other 100plus other UK TV channels, including Sports, movies and news, that are available to view for free. Although they try to watch local Spanish television channels, some feel the quality of programmes on Spanish TV is not that good as UK TV, they do not show many popular UK TV programmes like Coronation Street or Eastenders, and not all programmes are available in English, (although the switch to Digital Terrestrial Television - TDT - has meant a lot more UK and USA imported programmes are available in English.)
Receiving Freeview in Spain
Freeview is a free digital TV package that is available to people living in the UK. It is not, like many people say, available outside the UK especially Spain. You cannot receive Freeview in Spain. Freeview is a UK only digital television system that is transmitted from the land based television transmitter masts, like Emley Moor and Crystal Palace. The signals from these terrestrial transmitters are not strong enough to reach Spain.
Many UK TV channels are available on "free to air" satellite systems. British expats around Europe can watch their favourite UK TV channels for free via free to air satellite in Spain. Free to air means that there is no monthly subscription to pay, unlike the pay TV channels offered on satellite packages offered by Sky TV.
Receiving Freesat in Spain
Freesat is the name of a brand of satellite receivers designed to receive these free to air UK satellite television channels. You can also use a Sky digibox or any other digital satellite receiver to receive the free to air signals. A Sky digibox without a viewing card will still be able to receive BBC and ITV channels, and all the channels a Freesat receiver can receive.
You can receive many of the UK free to air TV channels by installing a small satellite dish and a digital satellite set top box. However, due to the frequencies used, the main UK TV channels such as BBC and ITV may not be available on these small satellite dishes, and therefore much larger satellite dishes will be required, from 1.8m to 2.4m.
It is worth noting that a Sky digibox without a Sky viewing card will receive the same channels as a standard Freesat digibox.
Both Sky digiboxes and Freesat digiboxes use the same satellite frequencies. So if you cannot receive BBC1 on a Sky box withoyour exisitng satellite dish, then you will not be able to receive BBC1 on your Freesat receiver with the same dish!
Spain does have its own version of Freeview, called Television Digital Terrestrial - TDT. Using a TDT set top box, you are able to receive around 30 digital Spanish television channels via your TV aerial on your roof. The digital aspect allows a much clearer picture than the old analogue TV system, and has the option to change the Spanish dubbing soundtrack on UK and USA imported programmes into the original version. It should also be noted that some UK "Freeview" set top boxes do not work in Spain correctly, as they are programmed for the UK TV service and not the TDT service.
So if an installer says that they are able to install a UK Freeview television system for you in Spain, ask them a few questions. As Freeview is a service received by a TV aerial, then why are they installing a satellite dish? Will you able to receive all the UK Freeview channels, like "Dave" and Sky Sports News, for free on their system, as many channels available for free on Freeview are in fact subscription only on satellite. Remember You cannot receive Freeview in Spain!

Getting "no signal" for Teledeporte on Spanish TV in Valencia?
Recent changes to some of the frequencies used for Spanish TV may mean that you are receiving a "NO SIGNAL" message when trying to watch some Spanish digital TV channels.
One of the more popular Spanish TV channels affected is Teledeporte, the free sports channel on TDT.
Basically, some of the TDT channels have changed frequencies.
So all you need to do to get them back is to rescan, normally using the "install" options on your TDT receiver.
This should scan all the available frequencies used for TDT and your channels should then reappear.
This may not be the case for some community systems, where additional "frequency modules" may need to be installed to receive these new frequencies.

Important changes to TDT "Spanish Freeview" frequencies in the Valencia area
As part of Phase 2 of the digital switch over in Spain, some channels on TDT "Spanish Freeview" have changed their frequencies. This affects TV reception not only in the Valencia area, but across the whole of Spain.
All channels on frequency / multiplex 66 have been moved and transferred over to new frequencies.
This has affected the following Spanish digital TV channels:
Teledeporte
Intereconomía
Veo7 TV
A rescan on your TDT set top box will need to be performed to make sure you can continue to receive these Spanish TV channels.
In some cases a call for a TV engineer / TV installer will be required, as your existing system may not be able to receive Teledeportes new frequency. This is especially true for community TV systems, where individual amplifier modules are installed.
Phase 2 of Spain’s digital switch over is aimed to free up the digital TV frequency spectrum between from 62 to 69. This is so these frequencies can be sold off to other telecoms companies, like mobile phone operators.
It is also worth noting that Teledeporte is now labelled as TDP.

Grand Prix of Europe - Valencia 2011
This years Formula One Grand Prix of Europe, also known as the Valencia F1 Grand Prix 2011 takes place this year on the 24th to 27th June 2011.
It takes place on the Valencia Street Circuit, a a semi-permanent street circuit in Valencia, Spain designed around the marina and port area of Valencia.
The track is 5.419 kilometres (3.367 mi) long and incorporates a total of 25 turns – 11 right-handers and 14 left-handers. It is unique as the track has a bridge crossing across the entrance to the marina. It has been critisised by many due to the lack of overtaking places. In fact in the 2009 race there was NO overtaking at all during the race.
Hopefully the recent rule changes and the Drag Reductions System DRS makes Valencia a bit more exciting for the spectator.
However, if you cannot make it to the race, you can watch it all LIVE on BBC TV in Spain. You can watch the Valencia Grand Prix on the BBC Sports Interactive streams. These can be received on a small 80cm satellite dish in Valencia, and does not require a big 2.4m Portuguese satellite dish to receive UK TV in Valencia.
To access the BBC Sportds service on a Sky box on a small satellite dish in Valencia, Spain, you need to go to the BBC News channel, Sky TV channel 503. Press the RED button, to go to the BBC Interactive TV service. Type in "3001", which is the page number for the BBC Sports service. Once the multiscreen has loaded up you can choose which LIVE sports stream to watch.

Fallas 2011 and Fathers Day in Spain
Dia del padre (Father’s day) is celebrated on the 19th of March. It falls on St. Joseph’s day. Celebrations for Father’s day depend on the city you’re in and in some parts of Spain, like Valencia, there’s a grand celebration on this day called “Las Fallas.”
Las Fallas is undoubtedly one of the most unique and crazy festivals in Spain. Las Fallas literally means “the fires”. Valencia is busy preparing the festive atmosphere from early in the month with the mascletas, noisy firework displays that take place every day at 2pm in Town Hall Square. Then it is time for the traditional planta of the fallas. People work all night to erect more than 700 statues in the city’s streets and squares. Some even start setting up days before – these huge statues can reach up to 20 metres in height.
You can enjoy these impressive scenes until the crema, when they are set alight amidst a fascinating spectacle of light, music and fireworks. All are burnt except one ninot which, elected by a popular vote, is saved from the flames to form part of the collection at the Fallero Museum.
Another of the most exciting moments of the Fallas is the floral offering to the Virgin Mary. When the Fallas parade starts in honour of the Virgin, there is a mountain of flowers 14 metres high. Open-air celebrations, parades, competitions and other activities complete the festive programme. Valencia, usually a quiet city with a population of half a million, turns into a town of over three million flame-loving revelers during Las Fallas.
If you can get up to Valencia for a few days, or even for the main day, on one of the coach trips, we would definitely recommend it.
Estival Tour Travel Agency are offering a coach trip to Valencia, staying in a 3 star hotel for two nights half board and including insurance, for only 143€, with pick up here at La Zenia. Or alternatively 41€ per person for 4* hotel and B&B.
For the more adventurous, they can organize train tickets and hotel accommodation in the city centre, all to suit budgets and requirements.

Official Moto2 and 125cc training sessions in Cheste
The racing calendar of the Region of Valencia's Ricardo Tormo Circuit in Cheste is burning up the track. Following the official Formula 1 training sessions which took place just a few weeks ago, the time has come for motorcycle racing fans to enjoy the show. Between 10th and 12th February, the official Moto2 and 125cc training sessions are getting underway.
The circuit is named after the fondly remembered 50cc World Champion, since he was the first Valencian to win the world title. Ricardo Tormo died in 1998 having lost his battle against leukaemia.
The Region of Valencia's Ricardo Tormo Circuit has been hosting MotoGP events since it first opened in 1999. For many years, it has been included on the World Championship calendar and its excellent infrastructures and services earned it the trophy for Best Grand Prix, awarded every year by the IRTA, in 2001 and 2006

The Ninot Fallas Exhibition in Valencia
Once again this year, Valencia will be holding its Ninot Exhibition in Nuevo Centro. A selection of the monuments and figures taking part in each Fallas celebration will be included in the Fallas Museum, having been previously selected by the visitors themselves.
They will choose the Ninot indultat through their votes; in other words, they will vote for the monument or figure which will be saved from the flames on 19th March to become part of the Fallas Museum collection, the only museum of its kind, which exhibits all the figures that have been 'pardoned' throughout history. Here, we can see the changes in the materials used to create these monuments - wax, stone, polyester or polystyrene - as well as the different styles.
The Ninot Exhibition has been held in a number of different settings, including the Hall of Columns in the former Exchange, the lower level of the Central Market, and the lower level of Ruzafa Market. The change in location has been motivated by the logistical problem of displaying over 760 figures in the adult and children's categories, which compete every year.
In 2004, the Ninot Exhibition moved to a large marquee in the square known as the Plaza Exterior de Nuevo Centro, built 'ex profeso' to house the exhibition and the over 1,700 square metres it required.
Now, visitors can judge the exhibits in a large, well-lit space, which gives each piece the room it needs, set against an opaque background, so they can cast their vote based on sound judgement.
HORARIO
De lunes a domingo, de 10.00 a 21.00 hrs.
PRECIOS
Adultos: 2€
Niños, Jubilados y Grupos: 1€

Valencia: an edgy and vibrant expat city
Expat author Jason Webster explains why the ever-changing city of Valencia is the perfect setting for his novels - and for him.
If I’d had a choice about where to come and live in Spain I probably wouldn’t have plumped for Valencia. But that was over 10 years ago, and the city was a very different place then.
Only in recent years has this Mediterranean city - the third largest in Spain after Madrid and Barcelona - emerged from an ugly-duckling image it has suffered for decades. Not without reason did the theatre critic Kenneth Tynan dub it ‘the world capital of anti-tourism’ forty years ago, revelling in the city’s griminess, perverseness and lack of attention to the needs of visitors.
“To be alone in Valencia,” he quoted Lady Harlech as saying at the time, “is to be permanently twenty minutes this side of suicide.”
Punished by Franco for being the capital of the Republic during the Spanish Civil War, and unloved by much of the rest of the country, Valencia was a backwater, a jewel so encrusted with dirt that almost no one could see the treasure that was lying underneath - least of all the Valencians themselves.
But all that has changed. As I write, the very first high-speed trains are arriving in the city from Madrid, bringing passengers in from the capital - over 350 km away - in barely an hour and a half.
Yet this is only the latest in a long string of recent developments that have transformed Valencia into the most exciting city in Spain. Madrid may be the centre of power, and Barcelona a cultural mecca, but Valencia offers the light and vibrancy of a major Mediterranean port, without the stress of an oversized metropolis.
Perhaps the most emblematic symbol of the new Valencia is the City of Arts and Sciences - a vast space-age complex of buildings designed by Valencian wunderkind Santiago Calatrava, one of the most feted architects around. An opera house, a science museum, aquarium and showcase tennis court have all been constructed, attracting visitors from all over the world, and are frequently used as the backdrop in adverts for new sports cars.
The attractions of the older part of the city have also been given some much-needed attention. When I first arrived, chunks of the Moorish city walls and wonderful 19th century town houses were close to falling down. Valencia felt neglected and down-at-heel. Now, however, a great number of these buildings have been restored and painted, their facades shining bright pinks, reds and blues.
For this is a city that loves colour, pageantry and show, in all its forms. Fallas, the biggest fiesta of the year here - and one of the most important in the country - heralds the coming of Spring. And Valencians like to mark the changing of the seasons with a concentration of fireworks, "fire-cracker concerts" and bonfires that would pull at the heart-strings of any self-respecting arsonist. Tonne after tonne of gunpowder is ignited in a seemingly endless display of pyrotechnics, both during the day and at night. While on the last day of the festivities, eight-metre-high statues of wood and papier-mâché, standing at almost every crossroads, are set ablaze, often scorching nearby buildings - and anyone foolish enough to stand too close.
There’s more to the city than a strong pyromaniac tendency, though. Valencia is the home of Spain’s national dish - paella. Here, the real thing is made with chicken and rabbit, not seafood - although there are fish and shellfish versions. But with the sea close by, and surrounded by a belt of fertile market gardens growing everything from oranges and artichokes to spinach and olives, this is an ideal place to test for oneself the health-giving benefits of the famous "Mediterranean diet".
Yet despite all this abundance and renewal, all is not rosy in Valencia. There is a dark side to the city, one that rarely comes to light or is seen by the visitor or recently arrived expat. Which was one of the reasons why I decided to write a series of detective novels set here. Having set down my roots over ten years before, I wanted to describe the place that had become my home, but to do so in a way that expressed the nuances, the shadows and tones of grey as well as all the colour and the attractions. Today no one could insist that this is a capital of "anti-tourism", but the dirty, edgy city that Tynan saw hasn’t gone away, not entirely.
Accusations of corruption in the city’s politics are so common now they barely warrant front-page attention. All that money that was used to help revamp the place was also used to line a few pockets, it would appear.
Then some of the decisions made in the name of progress have been very controversial. The Cabanyal is an old fishermen’s quarter north of the port area, running parallel to the beach. Here tightly packed houses from the turn of the century display facades of delicate ceramic work, with blue, green and turquoise zig-zag patterns or checker-board effects, with decorations showing sea creatures or the faces of water spirits. The area has been described by more than one visitor as an "open-air museum", a showcase of Art Nouveau design. Yet the Town Hall wants to bulldoze a great hole through the neighbourhood to extend a modern avenue through to the seafront. Local people have staged protests, and there have been clashes with the police, but the plans continue.
And of course, as with almost any modern city, Valencia has its own fair share of problems with drugs and the sex trade. In fact, the city had an official red-light district as far back as the Middle Ages. And as you drive along the local roads today you will often find a lonely building somewhere, the word "club" in fluorescent lights over the door. Don’t be fooled: this is not the local equivalent of White’s or the Atheneum, but a brothel.
Despite its faults, though, I have developed a deep attachment to Valencia. I came originally because I had fallen in love with a Valencian woman; today she is my wife. And although, in that sense, the choice of where I was to come and live in Spain was made for me, I now know I would have it no other way. Valencia is, and will continue to be, a great Spanish city. And there is more than enough material here for many more crime novels to come.
Jason Webster has lived in Spain since 1993.
