VIVA TAPAS BAR

Since opening last December, the city of Valencia can enjoy a new restaurant called ‘Viva Tapas Bar’, located in a 19th- century-listed building on C/ Santo Tomas, 18, in the very heart of the Barrio del Carmen. The ‘24/7 Valencia’ team have dined out here and found the service to be warm and very informed regarding the cuisine and wine on offer. This is quality gastronomy for demanding palates with a very agreeable interior that manages to be clean and modern, and yet has a rustic & traditional touch at the same time. You could argue that this reflect the carta, which is a combination of traditional ingredients with a vanguard presentation. This is quality product with a creative edge. Indeed, their head chef José Luis García Mascaraque has 28 years of experience in the kitchen, having worked in places like the Hotel Ritz of Madrid as well as Harrods of London. Viva Tapas Bar wants customers to feel relaxed in the surroundings, a

place where quality Spanish tapas and homemade bread take centre stage. Here you will find a fusion between roots and modernity, which balances the need to respect traditional Spanish recipes with the ability to present them in a new way. This is known as show cooking, meaning that the client can participate in the process. In their carta, you will find a number of artisan breads made in the kitchen, tablas of the finest Spanish bellota ham, a selection of quality national Spanish cheeses and anchovies from Cantabria. You can savour a wide selection of tapas, rices, meat and fish dishes that are cooked the traditional way in a wood oven. Some of the favourite tapas amongst customers include the delightfully presented and chic patatas bravas with cockles, croquettes with ibérico ham, grilled octopus, the Valencia speciality of torn cod with pepper known as esgarraet, charcoal-grilled aubergines and more. Between Tuesday and Friday, there is an afternoon menú del día for 15€ where you try three starters, a main

dish to choose plus a dessert. Every week has a different choice of dishes. You can enjoy the Menú Degustaciones ranging from 24€-42€, depending on your tastes and needs. You will find over 50 specially selected wines in their cellar, including reds, whites, rosés, cavas, and champagnes. There is also a private space for smaller groups and businesses, with the technology available for private presentations. This is a youngish, modern, confident and fresh project and just what Valencia needs in the welcoming world of fine dining.

FERIA DE JULIO

RAIMUNDO AMADOR

FERIA DE JULIO ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIR

Valencia’s Feria de Julio will be 145 years old this year. Once again, for the whole month of July, the Viveros gardens will be rocking to music you only usually find in a second-hand record stall, people will be glugging down horchata and throwing flowers, and kids will be eating candy floss and having their faces painted. It’s good, surprisingly low-key, hot-summer-night fun and it has a grand old history. The first Feria de Julio took place in Valencia in 1871 from 21 to 26 July. It was to be a festival of the new middle classes in a city which had just thrown down its medieval walls and was figuratively, and actually, breaking free of its past and looking forward to a new economy of industry, mass agriculture and export. This was a brave new steam-powered and high-financed world with its own new plush areas of the city like the Ensanche and the Gran Vías, and its own magnificent cathedrals to commerce, the Estación del Norte, the Central and Colón markets and the Clock Tower building at the port. The newly rich business classes were desperate to make Valencia a modern, cosmopolitan, European city and it was

only a matter of time before the powersthat-be sanctioned the establishment of a city fair and exhibition. Traders and farmers were pushing for the creation of a fair where their wares and the products of the new Valencian industries could be exhibited. In turn, the Ayuntamiento wanted to keep the richer families in the city for as long as possible before they went off to their country houses or on their European tour. The wellheeled families themselves wanted a chance to meet and greet and show off their wealth. A Mary Poppins-style “jolly ‘oliday” was seen as the perfect opportunity to swan around in a big hat, a frilly dress and a parasol, and so the Feria de Julio was born. These first ferias included various agricultural shows, with livestock in the river (between the Puente de la Trinidad and the Puente Real) and fruit, vegetables and flowers in the Viveros gardens. There were also exhibitions of the latest products manufactured by Valencian industry at the newly built medicine faculty at the beginning of what is now Avenida Blasco Ibáñez and art exhibitions in the old Convento del Carmen, now the Centro Cultural del Carmen. On top of this you could also attend bullfights, or take part in a carnival parade or a shooting match, watch a tug of war competition for cart horses. Of course, this being Valencia, there was a fireworks display every

night in the Alameda. All the big names came out: Cirilo Amorós, the Marqués de Campo, the Marqués del Turia, Félix Pizcueta (in short, most of the big bods who named streets after themselves around the Ensanche). From the world of the arts Sorolla, Benlliure and Blasco Ibáñez all supported the event, making it a must on the Valencian social calendar. Great ornate pavilions were constructed along the Alameda by the Ayuntamiento and different well-to-do societies, like the Ateneo Mercantil and the Real Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País. This was the real heart of the whole event, the place where the people that mattered could take a stroll and the young debutantes could dance and cool off with a horchata or a barley water. Over the years modern attractions were added, such as tournaments involving the newly imported sport of football and regattas and swimming races across the port. In 1907, there was even an air race from Valencia to Alicante for those magnificent men in their flying machines. One of the mainstays of the festival, the Battle of Flowers or, to give it its rather grander official name, the ‘Fiesta Floreal Valenciana’ first took place in 1891. The daughters of the wealthy families of the city were paraded along the Alameda in carriages where the discreet but

twentyfoursevenvalencia 9

ALL THE FUN OF THE FAIR

GLORIA GAYNOR

seriously passionate young gentlemen of the time (those from the right families, of course) would throw them flowers and read them (usually embarrassingly awful) romantic poetry. The whole thing was originally devised by Don Pascual Frígola just for the chance to parade his daughters in front of the great and the good along the Alameda. The tradition survives to this day.By 1939, after the Civil War, the old confidence was gone. There wasn’t any money to throw around and the old class structure was disappearing. Any show of ostentation like the old-style Feria de Julio was frowned upon. That should have been the end of it but somehow the Feria hung on. Things, however, had to change. The pavilions were still set up in July along the Alameda throughout the years of the dictatorship but they became much less exclusive, no longer attracting the elite of society and were open to all.

The main site of the Feria and its pavilions was moved from the upmarket Alameda out to Avenida de la Plata in 1974 and was shunted around different parts of the city. The great shows of yesteryear, just like the social classes that spawned them, fell into decadence or all but disappeared. That said, Valencians in their 50s and beyond may still remember with certain nostalgia partaking of a cool horchata in one of the creaky old pavilions on a hot July night with Nino Bravo blasting out over the loudspeaker.

These new pavilions were more likely to be run by local fallas or neighbourhood associations than by the top-hatted, paternalistic societies of before. The grand old Ayuntamiento pavilions became woodworm-ridden and unsteady and, eventually, declared unsafe. They were left to decay in the Viveros gardens until they were finally destroyed by a fire in 1981, a testament to the Feria’s steady decline from its turn of the century heyday.

We also still have those two essential staples of any Valencia festival, the fireworks and the brass bands. There are art exhibitions and bullfights and at the heart of the modern Feria are the concerts in the Viveros garden. Primavera Sound it is not. Most of the acts seem to be chosen by middle-aged politicians and civil servants trying to relive their youth, hence the appearance over the years of Bob Dylan, Joan Manuel Serrat, the Beach Boys, Iggy

Little now remains of the old Feria de Julio. The tradition of the Battle of the Flowers is one of the few aspects of the original ferias which have survived, although these days it’s just a load of people having a laugh throwing flowers at some other people going past on a carriage (and there´s absolutely nothing wrong with that).

Pop and Pat Metheny. That said, these are big acts and the atmosphere at an open-air gig on a balmy night in July is worth sampling. They generally try to give you a little bit of everything and this year you have the usual mishmash of long-forgotten prog rock band Alan Parsons Project, guitarist Steve Vai, ancient Spanish rockers Los Suaves, American pop star Anastacia, Chilean folk music from Quilapayún and jazz from Philadelphiaborn singer Melody Gardot (who at least is under 40) and many more, including top notch Spanish acts like Chambao and Raimundo Amador. There are also regular, more barriorelated, lower key events in the Parque del Oeste, the Jardín de Ayora and other parts of the city. These include children’s theatre, traditional dance groups and a medieval fair selling medieval kebabs, medieval lampshades, scented candles and pulpo a feira. The evening in the barrios often ends with the ubiquitous sound of a verbena band thumping out pasodobles and coplas at windowrattling decibel levels late into the night. Not sure what the Marqués de Campo would have made of that. ¡Viva la Feria de Julio! David Rhead and José Marín

VALENCIA MUSIC

ROTOTOM SUNSPLASH 2016 Once a year, reggae in all its variations comes to the Valencia Region in the quaint coastal town of Benicàssim, about an hour’s drive heading north from Valencia. This summer the Rototom Reggae Sunsplash happens between 13 and 20 August. However, Rototom is not just about music, it’s diversity thru’ culture, it’s about peace, human rights and social justice and love thru’ living together & lettin’ everyone live so we can learn and share knowledge. Rototom has even been recognised by UNESCO as an exemplary festival which promotes culture & peace. So, Rototom should be credited for what it has brought to the world stage since its humble beginnings more than two decades ago. Yes, Rototom has improved its image over the years and it is not just a music festival on the site of that other well-known festival, FIB. Rototom has grown to become as popular as FIB, but much more diverse in the sense that the festival is not only open to all ages. It is free for those under 13 years of age (accompanied by an adult), OAPs, people with proven disability, i.e., in a wheelchair, handicapped, etc This year, on Sunday 14 August, people

who are unemployed from the Castellón area can obtain entrance tickets for 5 euros. Normal ticket prices vary and are not expensive considering the multiple activities available over the eight days. Purchase of bulk tickets have a discount. I might add that Rototom caters for the old, the infirm, the young and families with small children as well. Check their website for more on what facilities they offer. If you are looking for a few days of cultural medication, with a beach by day, music by night as well as market stalls with abundant merchandising and cuisine from more than 15 countries around the world, then Benicàssim in the Valencia Region is the place to be between 13 and 20 August this summer. Rototom is not only about reggae music. It is culture, a way of life, in fact, a philosophy… Since its Italian director Filippo Giunta created this festival styled on the Jamaican Reggae Sunsplash, Rototom has gone from strength to strength bringing more and more people on board who have come to recognise Rototom as a way of life. I won’t dwell on the negativeness in the past, which almost killed this festival in Spain. Nor will I focus on the fact that last year there was pressure on a certain artist to cancel his performance based on his beliefs and what he had previously said to the press. The way I see it, Rototom is all about the bringing together of all races under the umbrella of reggae music. And I should know, I have lived it and cannot wait to get more

this year! Every year Rototom has grown in size to accommodate a varied public who come from all over. Whether they stay in the tent city set up around the Rototom site area or in caravans, hostels, hotels or apartments, there is one thing which unites them: the love of reggae music. Be it traditional roots reggae, ska reggae, bluebeat reggae, or even dancehall with a touch of ‘ragga’ that you’re into, Rototom is where you’ll hear it played on enormous stages and huge static sound systems. And it is all within walking distance of the main town of Benicàssim, where the local residents welcome the influx of people during August who, on the whole, are well-behaved and spend money like there’s no tomorrow during the festival. Benicàssim is well worth the stroll. Over the past few years, Rototom has diversified itself even more to include artists who are not famed for their reggae music but for their ability to fuse other musical genres with reggae. One such Spanish-French singer/musician is the legendary Manu Chao, who will be performing on the main stage this year. Not to be missed. If you were fortunate to catch Lauryn Hill in 2014 at Rototom, you will know how eclectic this festival can be. Check Rototom website for all your needs on who’s who in music. During the daytime if you cannot sleep, there’s good news:

ZEST FOR SUMMER SALMON FISHCAKES

By Helen Westwater

As the temperature dial creeps up to the 40s, I for one certainly now understand why perhaps the Spanish are not so obsessed with baking as we are in cooler lands. In these temperatures, putting on an oven really is not an appealing thought. So as we crack into summer, here is an East hits West recipe that does not involve hot ovens and is easy to make. A firm favourite in 'La Ola Fresca', these Zesty Salmon Fishcakes combining potato, fresh salmon, lime and coriander are served with a cooling yogurt accompaniment that will refresh the palate.Summer Timetable First, season the fillets with salt and pepper, wrap in aluminium foil and steam over boiling water, until lightly pink and the flesh comes away easily from the skin. Leave to cool.

ZEST FOR SUMMER SALMON FISHCAKES Meanwhile prepare, boil and mash the potatoes. Chop the coriander and Spanish onion and mash into the potatoes.

Juice the lime and add with a generous dessert spoon of sesame seeds. Season with salt and ground white pepper.

Flake the fish away from the skin and add to the potato mix being careful to exclude any fish bones. Mix thoroughly Make small rounds of the potato mix with the cup of your hand, mould into a smallish ball shape, dip into the beaten egg and then roll in the breadcrumbs. When ready to serve, heat a frying pan to medium temperature with a little virgin oil. When it is hot enough to sizzle when you place the fishcake in the fat, fry the cakes turning from time to time to make sure all the sides are golden brown. While your cakes are cooking, mix up the ingredients for the yoghurt dressing. When the fishcakes are heated through, place on a plate with the

RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH

LALOLA We went to this month’s restaurant on a swelteringly hot summer day and the thought of a meal outside in the cool(er) night air on the pedestrianonly terrace of LaLola was something we were really looking forward to. We were greeted by the super-friendly and quietly efficient Lydia, the jefa de sala (restaurant manager) who showed us to our rose petal-strewn table and left us with menus. Jesús, LaLola’s ebullient owner, came roaring over to the table and welcomed us, entreating us to be sure to stay for the flamenco show later in the evening. A few moments later a glass of Agua de Valencia was bought for each of us – Agua de Valencia is wolf in sheep’s clothing, it certainly isn’t water! And, though it looks and tastes like a Buck’s Fizz, it packs a far bigger punch, consisting, as it does, of orange juice, cava, and a couple of spirits – often vodka and rum.

The wine list was then proffered by a young guy whose name was Hernán, LaLola’s sommelier (more of him later) and we chose ‘Las 8cho’ a w ine from Chozas Carrascal, one of the vino de pago estates in Utiel-Requena. It’s a brilliant blend of no less than eight grape varieties, hence the name – bobal, monastrell, garnacha tinta, tempranillo, cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc, syrah and merlot. We chose the evening menu (25€), though D chose the Red tuna for her main course. The menu consists of three starters to share and a main course: choice of meat, fish or rice and a dessert. First came the bread basket, a selection of lovely fresh-baked breads accompanied by tomate and ajoaceite (grated tomato and oil, and garlic mayonnaise). This was followed by a cool and really refreshing Gazpacho de sandía (a chilled watermelon soup). Next up came a delightful Lingote de foie served with little toasts and a pear

jam (a little ingot of foie gras). After that we had Sorpresas de queso fresco con gambas con coulis de mango y salsa agridulce de frutos rojos – this is a classic LaLola dish comprising of ’surprises’ of filo pastry parcels filled with cream cheese and prawns with a mango coulis and sour red fruit sauce. Crisp shells of loveliness. Somewhere between the gazpacho and the surprises it started to rain, at first just the odd drop, but it slowly got heavier and there was a mad panic to get the umbrellas out so we made a hasty retreat into the restaurant for our main course. I chose Magret de pato for mine – perfectly cooked duck breast served with caramelised pear with vegetable crisps and a sweet anise butter sauce, a lovely combination of flavours and quite delicious! D, as I mentioned before, decided to go for the Red tuna, seared to perfection and served with rice and cooked strawberries and their juices –a big hit with D.

LA LOLA

I should mention the excellent team at LaLola. There are seven of them front of house (four in the kitchen, led by Cuca, a really good chef) and they are so well synchronised – watching them all work together is like watching a welloiled machine. They are super attentive without being intrusive, have all been working together for some years and it really shows. We were sat by the area where the flamenco show was to take place and watched the guitarist and percussionist set up whilst we waited a while to make room for our dessert. We chatted to Hernán, the very pleasant sommelier, who talked about the wine cellar at LaLola and how they are always on the lookout for new great wines. The wine list at LaLola is pretty extensive and well-priced. There is also the LaLola beer, a Valencia craft beer created by Tyris specifically for this restaurant and a tribute to the Barrio del Carmen.

It was described by the sommelier Maximiliano Bao as “brilliant, intense, fresh and casual…with hints of orange blossom”. D and I tried it at the recent Palo Market and thoroughly enjoyed it.

Saturday for evenings).

Our final course, served just as the guitarist started to play in earnest, was a brownie. It was no ordinary brownie, it was served crumbled, in a tin can and smothered in a delicious white chocolate and mint foam. Excellent. There are two rice options in the evening: paella (Valenciana, seafood or vegetable) or a meloso (a creamy rice with duck confit, wild mushrooms and foie gras). Next time we go we will try them! The flamenco show was great, lasting about 45 minutes and with a singer and a very energetic (male) dancer. It is great value at 7€ supplement per person.

association with the celiac association

LaLola offers both lunchtime and evening menús (15€ Monday – Friday, 22€ Saturday – Sunday for lunch / 25€ Sunday –Thursday and 28€ Friday –

There is also an extensive tapas menu

if you want to sup a good wine and eat a few little dishes. Gluten-free menu

options and healthy heart dishes in and heart foundation are also available.

They love groups and will happily prepare plans to your requirements.

Hats off to Jesús and Lydia for creating

a lovely ambience and to Cuca for great food.

Go and enjoy LaLola, it could just become your favourite restaurant! Tim Birch

EU REFERENDUM

THE EU REFERENDUM I feel obliged to write quite an unusual article because, frankly, we’re living in unusual times. As the dust settles on the EU referendum, many people are now asking what exactly is going to happen when, in two years’ time, Britain completes its departure from the European Union. What will happen to global currencies? What will happen to all the millions of British people who live in Spain, France and Germany, etc.? What will happen to Britain as it tries to make its way as a small island nation in a world so different from that which allowed it to hold huge influence during the time of empire? By far the most interesting question I’m hearing at the moment, though, is “Why?” And I don´t have a good answer. The reason I don’t have a good answer is because even those who voted for Britain to leave are starting to look a little confused about what they chose. There is an expression in English: “Be careful what you wish for” and it could have been invented for this very situation. It’s not really for this magazine to wade into the murky waters of politics but, again, these are interesting times and I think it´s pertinent, as a British expat here in Valencia, to try and explain the feelings I and many other Brits have about the whole situation. I think we’d do well to start with shame. Many of my fellow expats feel embarrassed about the result because of how the rest of Europe, perhaps even the rest of the world, will view us. The decision to leave the Union is increasingly being viewed as an unmitigated disaster by both sides and the British people can blame no-one but ourselves. If it’s possible that some good may come out of this, perhaps it is the lesson that, when it comes to making decisions that affect us all, we are just as capable of making huge mistakes © 2016 24/ 7 Valencia

as the politicians we normally blame. Yes, the public were lied to and misled by a barrage of obscurantist nonsense, but when isn’t that the case? This was a referendum and, as such, it was our responsibility to glean the facts from the displays of political grandstanding and ensure that we understood, as far as was possible, the ramifications of leaving before making such an irreversible decision. I, and many others, feel that our fellow Europeans are laughing at our stupidity, and we can’t blame them. The only thing I can say in our defence is that 48% of Britons voted Bremain. The next most common emotion many expats in Valencia have described is fear: a fear that this may be the beginning of an unstoppable decline in opportunities for the young people who have to live with this decision for the rest of their lives. I personally don’t feel affected as I have no intention of ever returning to live in the UK; that doesn’t mean, however, that I don’t feel worried about the futures of those I left behind. Britain is now a country which produces a very specialised range of goods and services. It goes without saying that the nation relies heavily on trade; the more difficult it gets to trade with our partners, the fewer opportunities there are for the future labourers and professionals to find meaningful work. It’s awful to think about what may become of young Brits as the effects of this referendum truly take hold. On a more personal level, the feeling which is dominating my own reflections

on this whole mess is deep frustration. It makes me want to tear my hair out when I think of all the Brexiters who were trying to find the answer to the question of how to ‘make Britain Great again’. They looked back to a world which can never return, a world in which Britain, in the aftermath of the Second World War, had some global influence. Perhaps they looked even further back to the days of the British Empire and thought that the only things preventing the country from reaching those heights again were the restrictions of EU membership. Everyone else could see that the world had changed beyond recognition since those decades past but their voices were just too quiet. I feel frustrated that, when somebody next hears my English accent in the streets of Valencia, they might assume I have the same beliefs. It´s probably obvious but I just want to make absolutely sure: Most of the Brits here in mainland Europe, certainly here in Valencia, are part of the 48%. We live here because we love the Spanish way of life. We, by definition, value the rights the EU gave us and will continue to give you. As Spain deals with its own political instability and frustrations, remember: we still choose this country over the one we left behind and many of us will do whatever it takes to stay. Sadly, and with a heavy heart, I can now say with more certainty than ever, we’re not just here for the sunshine. Yours sincerely, Matt Shewbridge Director of Shewbridge Academy of English

NUNO ESPIRITO SANTO

INCOMPATIBLE BEDMATES

replaced by one more member of the super-agent's brigade, Aymen Abdennour.

When Peter Lim took over Valencia CF and paid off their insurmountable debts, he became an instant hero with Valencia and their fans. At last, perhaps a saviour had been found. However, it soon became apparent that Lim's arrival came with an important caveat, and that was that the notorious ‘super-agent’ Jorge Mendes was part of the baggage.

The optimism the fans had at the beginning of last season quickly diminished as the on-field performances lacked vision and passion and the ‘socios’ were quickly defriending Lim, Mendes and their project.

Having been instrumental in securing Lim's services for Valencia, the Portuguese businessman was in no mood to stop there. The popular Juan Antonio Pizzi (who has just managed Chile to the Copa América title) was quickly replaced by the little-known Mendes protégé Nuno Santo Espírito. A steady stream of players represented by Mendes followed, in the shape of Enzo Pérez, Danilo, João Cancelo and Zakaria Bakkali. Otamendi (another Mendes product) was sold to Manchester City, to be consequently

be a long-term project. Performances continued to suffer as the season deepened and the divide between the fans and Lim grew wider. Their frustration was directed at Nuno and it was no surprise when he was reluctantly sacked by the owner.

Former players and fans alike were questioning the motives of the pair. Was Lim just using Valencia as a stepping stone for his true love, the Premier League? Did the loyalty of Mendes lie with the player rather than the club when it came to a potential transfer?

A chance to heal the rift by making a popular appointment was missed with the risky announcement that Gary Neville would take over the reins. In recent years, Valencia have had some great managers that have gone on to do excellent things at other clubs after being dismissed prematurely by Los Chés.

Project Lim had always been about buying young players with huge potential and grafting them together as a team over a number of years to create a club to once again challenge for La Liga and European silverware. One good season from Otamendi and he was gone, giving fans little confidence that standout players would stay for the completion of what was considered to

Claudio Ranieri has just won the league for Leicester, Pizzi has just given Chileans one of the greatest days of their lives by winning the Copa América. Unai Emery gave Sevilla a record threetimer in the Europa League before just landing a dream job with Paris St.Germain. Quique Sanchez-Flores and Ronald Koeman have overachieved at Watford and Southampton, respectively.

ARTICLE BY JOHN HOWDEN

The list is endless. The rumblings around the Mestalla were intense with the news Neville would be the new coach. Lim had previously invested in Salford City alongside the Manchester United class of ‘92. Phil Neville was already installed on the Valencia coaching staff and was this just another step to heighten his Premier League dream? An aborted effort to buy Liverpool in 2010 still leaves a bitter taste with the Singapore businessman, who is not used to losing out. The Neville experiment proved to be an unmitigated disaster, showing once again that punditry and coaching are two totally different animals. It seems that Valencia have now settled on Pako Ayestarán for the 2016-17 campaign. Season tickets have now gone on sale and the Valencia faithful continue to respond positively, despite a totally different perspective and feeling to this year's campaign after last year's debacle.

An early European match up with Monaco for a place in the Champion's League group spot has been replaced with friendly matches at Bournemouth and London against Crystal Palace. If the gossip is true, then Valencia are in line to sign another Mendes favourite. Nani, the former Manchester United star, is supposedly heading to Mestalla once the Euro championships are over. Speculation continues to mount over André Gomes, as the super-agent works the press for a lucrative move away. A poor Euro showing by the Portuguese midfielder has done little to persuade would-be suitors. With former club Benfica taking a quarter of any transfer fee, a deal may not take place for these reasons rather than Mendes and Lim taking a moral high ground to protect any potential transfer of one of Valencia's best players on his day. These two potential moves will be a good yardstick in indicating the true intentions of the Lim-Mendes partnership. Do they really plan to turn Valencia into a

top Euro club once again or is it just a stepping stone to the Premiership for Lim, and a feeder club for Mendes to put some of his representatives into the spotlight? Whether it is the former or the latter, it will take a lot to get the fans back on board and believing in the project. Their end-of-season whistles and boos after the last game loss against Real Sociedad will return very quickly to the Mestalla if there are many repeat home performances like the ones observed last season. The relationship between the fans and the head honchos at the club is very fractious at the moment. In order for compatibility to be restored, attractive football and positive results need to return on a regular basis and very quickly indeed… John Howden

VALENCIA BOOKS

Could you tell us about your prizewinning book, ‘Motherland’?

TIMOTHY O’GRADY Tell us something your background and travels...

I’m from Chicago. When I was 21, someone offered me the use of a house on a deserted island off the coast of Donegal in Ireland. I expected to return from there to America but never did. I lived in Dublin, London, Valencia and now in the birthplace of Copernicus, Toruń, in Poland. It started as a romance and remained that way. How does living in Poland compare to living in Valencia, Spain?

Toruń has 700-year-old walls like Valencia. Unlike Valencia it has seasons, fabulous blooms in spring and crimsons and oranges in autumn and white winters. It is poorer. It is also greatly less voluble. Poles seem like whisperers compared to the Spanish. You recently presented the Spanish translation of ‘I Could Read the Sky’ in Valencia. What is the book about?

The Irish came in great numbers to Britain to rebuild it after the war. It is about one of those who did that, an old man looking back on music and work and what he loved and lost. The book is made of photographs and words.

That’s hard to compress. A fat, insecure, Irish clairvoyant goes walking through Irish history and landscape in search of himself and his nation and his missing mother. I’m not fat, nor clairvoyant, nor have a missing mother but somehow it was about me, I think. When I landed in Donegal I instinctively let my Americanness fade and began to look at Ireland. I’d been wanting but failing to write fiction in which I could believe for 10 years but felt like I caught something when the first sentences of this came to me. It was exciting, nervewracking. You have spent a large part of your life outside the USA. However, you returned to the land of your birth in ‘Divine Magnetic Lands’. Could you describe the experience?

I’d watched America in distress from a distance. Reagan distressed me. George Bush, Jr. distressed me far more. I thought they must have trawled the nation for the most appalling bottomfeeding fish they could find to form a government. I wondered what had gone wrong. I also had some yearning to be on the road in America. There’s no road like it that I know for making you feel you are passing through myth. It was rollicking and strange and eerily familiar and instructive and sometimes glorious. I wondered and still do how a nation filled with so many open, kind, pragmatic, unneurotic and astonishingly generous people could be so incapable of finding a viable form of government. I suppose the answer is that they do not govern. Lobbyists do, on behalf of the corporations that pay them. Your latest book is called ‘Children of Las Vegas’. What was your intention with this book?

I was in Las Vegas for two years, first on a fellowship and then to teach. It seemed like the Twilight Zone to me, everything orderly and in straight lines

but strangely empty and with an aura of the sinister in the air. There was furtiveness and anger, the kind of anger that perhaps has its origins in shame. One day my students began to talk of their lives – their parents stealing from them, falling apart from the various addictions it is the city’s business to offer. Many of them had had to raise themselves and their younger brothers and sisters from the time they were eight while their parents sat stupefied for days in front of machines into which they poured their rent and food and mortgage money. Las Vegas reverses nature in this and many other ways. It is so brassy and ostentatious and seems to demand that you write about it. I decided to make a book of testimonies of the people that really had authority, the people who had been watching it all their lives. I hope that those who read it think of what it is in us that brings into being such a place. Is golf more fun than gambling in casinos?

You ask, I suppose, because I wrote a book about golf. There’s no contest. I would rather clean sewers than gamble in a casino. We didn’t gamble a dime in the two years we were there. Golf, on the other hand, asks that you bring all your physical and mental strengths to it. It’s been a lifelong fascination. Gambling just asks that you bring your weaknesses. One of the things, incidentally, that I most miss about Valencia is the golf course at El Saler, a place so exquisitely beautiful and natural and intelligently arranged. Could you ever see yourself moving back to Spain or is ‘home’ the open road?

I go to Valencia because my children are there. I am very well in Toruń. We set out for jaunts short and long, but I love coming back. It – I mean the house, rather than the country or the city – feels like home in a way nothing else ever has. Interview by Owl

CLUBLAND & FESTIVALS

CLUBLAND & FESTIVALS So these last couple of weeks have been… interesting, to say the least. A lot of unexpected things have happened, but all the more reason to turn a blind eye and go out and party. Yes, a very mature way of dealing with things, but this is the Clubland section of the guide, so if you want more serious matters, turn to page 99. Anyway, it’s summer, I know you can’t tell due to the disappointing weather, but it is, trust me. And what does that mean? It’s Festival time!! Now what exactly does that mean you say? I’ll tell you. It means it’s time to leave every responsibility and worries at home, get your shorts on, and get ready for endless days of music and fun! Let’s get started with some of the best festivals Spain has to offer, shall we? The first festival I’ll mention is one that’s new to me: Hyte Park (www. hyte.net). This is a series of concerts set at various locations throughout the world, starting on 2 July in New York, and ending on a high in Ibiza Amnesia on 10 August.

Now this is pure electro, so don’t go in thinking you’ll be having any sensible conversations with anyone, pure dance, loud music and well… you know Ibiza.. smoke machines, confetti and just way too many distractions to concentrate. Make sure to bring your vitamins and water, this one will be intense.

no, they didn’t pay me to say that…

Now I can’t remember exactly which city, or where in the city this next festival takes place, but Barcelona Beach Festival (bcnbeachfestival. com) is a must! Seriously, if the thought of being on a beach, with a massive stage and speakers spitting out some crazy bass at high volumes while the sun sets behind you doesn’t make you smile…well, this isn’t for you. But if it does, this is as close as you’ll get to the Brighton Beach gigs, but with better weather, and nicer beaches. The lineup is nothing special: Alesso, Ingrosso, David Guetta… yeah, I haven’t heard of them either.

well you can start off by going to Arenal

Check this one out for an absolutely unforgettable experience on 16 July! Found in the northern hills and mountains of Bilbao, BBK (bilbaobbklive.com) could be the most unusual destination of choice for a summer festival. But it’s well known and respected, with a great choice of bands to see. Aside from the great line up this summer, BBK is also known for its unique and stunning views, especially from the top of the hills on the campsite. The crowd is mainly Spanish, so if you’re looking to avoid the Brits this summer, this one could be for you. By far my favourite, for its diverse lineup, highlighting the best bands of the genres, its location (close to the beach) and the crowd it brings (mainly English and some Irish). The FIB (fiberfib. com) sets up tent from 14 to 17 July! This year could potentially be one of their best, but I am known for saying that every year, I simply love it and have nothing bad to say about it! And

This is probably the closest festival to Valencia, found in sunny Benicàssim at just an hour train ride away. Main

bands that are worthwhile include:

Kendrick Lamar, Muse, Mac DeMarco, Jess Glynne, Massive Attack and more!

Not quite sure what to do in August,

Sound (www.arenalsound.com). This is quite reasonably priced for the line-

up it has and its duration (from 4 until

7 August). If you’re a fan of electro,

then you’ll be happy to know that Vitalic is one of the headliners and so are

Crystal Castles. If however you’re more into mainstream pop/rock, Two Door

Cinema Club will be there. Similar to BBK, this one attracts a mainly Spanish

crowd, and quite a young one at that, so don’t expect walking down music

memory lane with anyone, as the oldest band they might know is 1D. It’s

still a laugh and a great way to spend a few days in the sun.

Personally, I think you will have a great

time no matter which festival you end

up going to, if any. As long as I’m out of the house and far from any media

outlets or televisions, I can’t hear

another thing about bloody ‘Game of Thrones’, Trump, England in (or out) of the euros. It’s been a crazy year

so far, and I need me some festival

magic to at least reach a high this year, before the inevitable comedown of September, when we have to go back to reality. On that note, I wish everyone

a great summer of 2016 and to make it as memorable as every other summer you’ve had so far.

rest and be well away from all the stress and noise and yet you are not too far away from Valencia either. The truth is that my family and I feel very happy to live in Alcàsser. It is a tranquil town with a culturally rich history.

I suppose you could say I am quite ‘Spanish’ in some ways, given that I was born in Valencia but my mother is from Castilla-La Mancha and my father is from Andalusia. I learned to love music from a very young age and I am a self-taught percussionist. Neither of my parents played an instrument but I certainly gained from being exposed to many types of music, in and out of the house, via the radio or television. There were plenty of tape cassettes at home including rumba, copla, pop, rock and more. I think that growing up listening to a variety of musical genres helped to open my mind, musically speaking. This is something that my wife and I try to transmit to our two sons, so that they will be open-minded in their lives as well as in their tastes in music. What is it like living in the small town of Alcàsser compared to the big city of Valencia?

Living in Alcàsser allows you the freedom of being able to relax and disconnect from the big city. You can

is an eclectic album, sung mostly by an 80-year-old singer who has been singing since the 1950s but has never ever recorded until now. The album includes cover versions ranging from Sinatra’s “Fly Me to the Moon” to Presley’s “Blue Suede Shoes” to AC/ DC’s “The Jack” (!) Can you tell us about your other job as a window cleaner in and around Valencia? Any anecdotes?

Could you tell us about your music projects?

At the moment, I am composing and preparing tracks as a drummer for my next album with the rock band Imagine, along with Patty Kitten and Loren D, as well as preparing some video clips. I am also playing cajón in a newish and fascinating project called ‘India Blues Folk Flamenco’ with a British guitarist and the Indian multi-instrumentalist called Manu Khalwa. Currently, I am touring the Valencia area as a cajón player to present the new album by Chris Wright & the Expendables. It

I normally try to start the day working in the morning as a window cleaner as early as possible so that I can have the afternoons free for my family and music rehearsals. I normally do window cleaning for local shops and some bars and restaurants around the city. With time, your clients become more like friends and family and, with some of them, it almost seems like we have grown up together. I have plenty of anecdotes but there is one that sticks in the mind. I was cleaning the windows of a bar and one of the customers asked the owner: “Isn’t that bloke from a famous rock band?” and the owner, quick as a flash, said: “Yes, he is in a famous group but when he gets bored he likes to clean windows!” That’s life...
