OFFER INCREASED

Valmor Sports, the organizing company for the Formula 1 race in Valencia have now revealed that a total of seven ships will be in the Port area specifically during the race next August, and will be accepting passengers - in effect becoming floating graded seating with a vantage viewing point of the race. The seven craft will be opposite Tribunes 12 to 17, and will have an ample view of the circuit where speeds are expected to reach 323 Kms/hr

THE CRISIS, THE STRIKES, THE EFFECTS

Saturday


Trucks yesterday slowly started entering Valencia Port under police escort, but in fact met no opposition as no pickets were present. However, as it was Saturday, there was far less activity in the Port than on weekdays. Also yesterday, despite the strike continuing, supplies were reaching supermarkets and manufacturing companies

A GREAT SUCCESS

It has been revealed that over ten thousand people witnessed the first ever show designed by the Catalan troupe La Fura Dels Bous based on opera, but staged outside the opera house - in this case the Palau de les Arts in the City of Arts and Sciences in Valencia. Carlus Padrissa, the artistic director for the troupe stated that the exterior of the Palau was an ideal setting to stage the event. The show will be repeated on June 19 at 10:30 pm
