Wednesday Coffee Catch Up - Location Change

Hola coffee goers...

I have decided it is time to change the location for the Wednesday get together.
The main reason being, I think it would be nice to support a cafe that is owned by the locals rather than a chain. I find it really sad how many places are closing down around the place at the moment, and if we can help support the locals with our coffee addiction, then we should.
I have picked out Notredame - Calle Salamanca 40
Not only is it Smokefree, but their coffee is a couple of euros cheaper (standard coffee but good) and the food is rather yummy also.
And if it is a nice day, we can sit outside.

So what do you reckon???
Hasta proxima Miercoles!
Bridget

Hola Bridget

This month one spanish magazine CUERPOMENTE comes with a dvd of Aerolates (pilates and aerobics) and it costs 5 euros. The good thing about this dvd is that you can choose to watch it in English.
I hope it will be useful for those who can't make it to the gym.

Alinghi wants next America's Cup in 2010
AFP - October 23, 2008, 7:37 am

MADRID (AFP) - America's Cup champion Alinghi said Wednesday it hopes to organise the next edition in 2010 in the Spanish port of Valencia with a new and faster class of yachts.

blah blah blah

Alinghi "is re-opening entries for a multi-challenger 33rd America's Cup from now until 15 December 2008 with the intention of having a match in 2010 in a new and modern class of race yacht" in Valencia.

blah blah blah

But I thought, they couldn't have the AC in 2010 because of the Soccer World Cup???
What is going on???

Whats up in Valencia

Hi,

I have just been looking on www.comunitatvalenciana.com and I thought you would like to know about these to put in the Cronica.

18 Medio Maraton de Valencia - 16/11

It is in Spanish, but I think it says that it is going to be held on the F1 track in the port. You may want to get someone to translate it better than me!!

Greenspace: Vegan Fusion Festival 18/10 1900

There is no other info on this website but sounds interesting.

Plaza de Toros: Feria Medieval 31/10 - 2/11

I have been to this before and it is fantastic, there are food and many other stalls. It's really worth a visit.

Science Museum: Marvel Super Heros

One for the boys (big and small!!)

Also this part of the website http://www.comunitatvalenciana.com/publicaciones/descargas.htm#fiestas has all the pamphlets about all of the "fiestas" and gives you history about them (in English). There are loads of other things you can look up too. It's too late for me now to be going through them all!!!!!

Bridge, Tennis and Metro...

One of my loyal readers has answered a lot of questions about the goings on around the Science Area with the new bridge and tennis stadium etc. Read on and you will be in the loop! Thank heaps for that Anuschka

Hi Bridget!

I just read your post in the cronica regarding the new bridge L'Assut de l'Or. I attach a newpaper article (el mundo) from last week about it.

There they say that actually they wanted to open the bridge for the Formula1. When they saw that they won't make it they said they would get it done for the day of the comunidad valenciana on the 9th of october. But they won't make this either. Now they say that there is no hurry about it and they try to open it by the end of october but they didn't give any exact date.

And there is an other interesting article (las provicias) from yesterday about the subestación electrica (powerstation) that iberdrola is planning underneath the round-about just there. And that the neighborhood is fighting against those plans. What is not mentioned in the article is that the new metro line T-2 will be crossing the bridge and the round-about. I think it's not sure yet if it will continue in c/ pintor maella or in c/ menorca.

Yes the big building next to the bridge (called Ágora) will be hosting the ATP tennis tournament. But I don't know when it will open....

That's the news. ;)
