Indianapolis

The Race Capitol of the World

Indianapolis is a major center for automobile racing. Since 1911, the Indianapolis 500 has been the premier event in the National Championship of open wheel car racing. The series' headquarters and many of its teams are based in the city. Indianapolis is so well connected with racing that it has inspired the name "Indy car," used for both the competition and type of car used in it. Indianapolis Motor Speedway hosts three major motor racing events every year: the Indianapolis 500, the Brickyard 400, and the Red Bull Indianapolis Grand Prix.

New Year’s Resolutions (But Wait, It’s Still December!?)

N

Photo by EDUARDO PEÑA

ew Year’s resolutions may still be a month away, but we here at Active Life Magazine have our list all ready to go! At the top of that list is a new format. We will always hold fast to the belief that regular physical activity and proper nutrition lead to better living. But we realize there’s more to life than food and exercise! Starting this month, we’re expanding our scope to embrace all aspects of active living—food, exercise, fashion, home design, travel—and that’s just the start. With the holidays upon us, parties abound! In this issue, our fashion expert Karina Reske offers ideas to help with your holiday look. She knows that if you look your best on the outside, you’ll feel your best on the inside! Our cover story, Amy Conville of Carmel’s Method Salon, knows a thing or two about that philosophy. As our first ever active life who doesn’t call herself an athlete, we’re highlighting Amy to show that active living isn’t necessarily synonymous with health and fitness. As a wife, mother and small-business owner, Amy is an inspiration to us all. And if you’re already sick of this Indiana winter, how does a trip to the Spanish Mediterranean coast sound? Check out our article on Spain and what to know before you head off on that Iberian adventure. We here at Active Life Magazine are excited about the changes we’re making, and we hope you are, too. Write or email us with any feedback you may have! Now, sit back with a warm mug of cocoa, gather round the fireplace with your family, and enjoy all the blessings and happiness that this joyous season brings.

Advancements in Regenerative Medicine Cellular therapy using your own adult stem cells may very well be the next significant advancement in regenerative medicine.

nvestigational stem cell treatment uses the stromal vascular fraction (SVF), a portion of our fat that is rich in adult mesenchymal stem cells. These non-embryonic stem cells are undifferentiated cells that have the ability to replace injured or dying cells and regenerate damaged tissue. The newly generated tissue can repair or replace tissue or organ function lost due to damage or injury. SVF is being studied to improve a variety of degenerative conditions. What Are Adult Stem Cells? An adult stem cell is a stem cell that already resides in your body within different tissues. These special cells seek out areas of injury, disease and destruction where they are capable of regenerating healthy cells and enabling a person’s natural healing processes to be accelerated. Nonembryonic adult mesenchymal stem cells

are contained in your own fat cells and are used to create functional tissue using an investigational Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved protocol. How Do Adult Stem Cells Work? In the right environment, adult stem cells can change or differentiate into bone, cartilage, muscle, fat, collagen, neural tissue, blood vessels and even some organs. In your bloodstream, these cells seek out damaged tissue and stimulate the healing process. Potential Treatments Using Adult Stem Cell Therapy Adult stem cells appear to be particularly effective at repairing cartilage in degenerated joints. Many reputable international centers have been using stem cell therapy to treat various chronic degenerative conditions as diverse as severe

neurological diseases, renal failure, erectile dysfunction, degenerative orthopedic problems, and even cardiac and pulmonary diseases. New research is underway to use stem cells to regrow hair. The Midwest Stem Cell Treatment Center, an affiliate of the California Stem Cell Treatment Center, provides investigational adult stem cell based regenerative treatment. The outcomes data from our center are added to the national database as part of the Surgical Cell Network’s Institutional Review Board (IRB) approved research program.

Vampire Facial The

We have all seen Kim Kardashian’s pictures with blood all over her face. It makes the Vampire procedures look less desirable, and it’s a bit confusing as to why anyone would want to have a treatment like that.

I

want to explain the Vampire Facial and why this can and does help decrease lines and wrinkles and create healthier and younger looking skin. First, a small amount of blood is taken from the patient and placed into a machine that removes all the platelets from the sample. The platelet part of the blood is platelet rich plasma (PRP). Topical numbing cream is applied to the patient’s face to help decrease any pain that may be caused with the first part of the procedure, micro-needling. Micro-needling has been done for years in patients with scars, deep lines and various other skin concerns. The micro-needling process is very superficial with the Vampire Facial, just deep enough to cause a superficial injury to the skin. This has several benefits. For one, it causes the body’s own repair cells to

14

ACTIVE

activate and go to work to “heal” the injury, which means making new collagen. The second benefit is it allows an opening for the PRP to enter the skin. After the microneedling is finished, the PRP is then applied topically and massaged into the patient’s skin. The PRP is left on the patient’s skin for 30 to 60 minutes and then washed off. The patient is then free to return to their normal activity. There is very little down time after the PRP is washed off. Now you’re asking yourself, how does this help create younger, healthier looking skin? The PRP is absorbed into the body within three days, and approximately three weeks later the stem cells start to grow and create new collagen. This is a process that takes about 12 weeks to complete. After these 12 weeks, the patient can see softer lines and healthier looking skin since new blood vessels are

LI FE magazine | D E CE M B E R 2 0 1 4

formed. Patients often report having softer, smoother skin in just a few days, and after a few weeks patients notice a nice glow to their skin. This is a great procedure for people who want no downtime, no side effects and want healthier, younger looking skin. The Vampire Facial can be done in the office in about an hour. Please visit our website at www.longevityinstitute.net for more information. You can also email us at info@longevityinstitute.net. If you’re ready to have your Vampire Facial done and have healthier, younger looking skin, please call 317 574-1677 to schedule.

Tumescent Liposuction Tumescent liposuction refers to injection of fluid at the treatment site prior to the actual liposuction to reduce the bleeding, bruising and swelling that is associated with the procedure. The tumescent fluid also has numbing medicine in it, so liposuction can be performed with the patient sedated but awake. This fluid also reduces post-procedural pain. Suction Assisted Liposuction (SAL) is still the most commonly performed fat reduction procedure performed in this country, and it allows for smallvolume sculpting as well as high-volume reduction. It is considered one of the safest of all cosmetic procedures.

16

Ultrasonic Liposuction

101

Ultrasonic liposuction, also known as Ultrasonic Assisted Liposuction (UAL), is a procedure that is used in conjunction with Tumescent Liposuction. After the patient receives the tumescent fluid, ultrasound waves are delivered into the fat to liquefy the fat for smoother liposculpting with higher volume extraction. UAL can give extraordinary results, but it is not a complete substitution for SAL. Patients typically have more swelling and firmness, and the procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia.

Laser Liposuction Laser liposuction is another type of liposculpting that is usually performed with tumescent fluid and SAL. Laser lipolysis utilizes a fiber-optic laser fiber that is passed into the subcutaneous fat. The laser then emulsifies the fat and heats the collagen within the skin and fat and allows for tightening of these structures. This technique is very beneficial for those with moderate skin laxity. Techniques such as Smart Lipo®, Slim Lipo®, and Cool Lipo® are laser techniques that sound really cool, but they offer only modest benefit without the use of SAL.

Other Fat Loss Techniques Other techniques are available in conjunction with Suction Assisted Liposuction. Jet Liposculpting utilizes highpressure water being delivered into the subcutaneous fat to break up the fat prior to suctioning it out. High definition liposculpture is becoming very popular in the ultra-fit population. This technique utilizes a VASER®, a specialized type of ultrasonic liposuction, which allows

Time-tested and cuttingedge solutions for problem areas.

removal of high percentages of localized fat. This technique works well but can be quite expensive. Several non-invasive fat loss techniques have recently hit the market with moderate success. Zeltiq® is a noninvasive technique that utilizes the freezing of fat to cause cryolipolysis. The Zerona utilizes a low-level laser that causes the cytoplasm to leave the fat cell for non-invasive fat reduction. Non-invasive technology offers moderately good results; however, these technologies are only in their infancy and will continue to improve in the future.

any of us spend hours in the gym each week, and this pays big dividends by allowing us to achieve most of our fitness and health goals. However, if you talk to your fellow gym patrons, almost all would admit to still having one or two problem areas where they can’t seem to lose that last bit of stubborn fat. These stubborn areas may exist due to genetics rather than poor fitness or lack of diet control. Since we can’t pick our parents, what are some options for these problem areas? Liposuction, also known as lipoplasty or liposculpting, is a technique that slims, reshapes and contours areas of the body where excess fatty deposits exist. Keep in mind that liposuction is not a treatment for obesity. That’s why most physicians now call the procedure liposculpting or lipoplasty. The best candidates are within 30% of their ideal weight and are usually moderately fit. Liposculpting can offer incredible results with minimal recovery time. Following is a description of the various types of liposuction.

By Chris Lowery, M.D.

Lipoplasty results have improved greatly over the last decade due to new technological improvements. These techniques are very safe, with minimal pain and minimal down time. So, if you have a difficult fatty area that is responding poorly to aggressive diet and exercise, liposculpting can offer an exceptional and safe solution. See a board-certified cosmetic solution to explore your options. Dr. Chris Lowery is a nationally recognized board-certified cosmetic surgeon practicing in Noblesville, Indiana.

Holiday Survival Guide Well, hello Holiday Season! Would you hurry up and bring us some warmth already?!

I

guess winter has arrived full speed here in Indy. But despite the colder and colder temps, and the not-so-promising forecast, we do, in fact, have a good reason to go shopping and ignore the freezing weather out there! It’s the biggest party season of the year, my friends, and even though Mother Nature seems to care less about your suede boots getting ruined on the sidewalks or your bare legs getting frost bitten on your way to a holiday party, you must not give up. Let’s endure the polar vortex in the name of holiday cheer and giving! And whether your cheer comes in the form of intimate family gatherings, alluring galas, glittering cocktail parties, office get-togethers or any other lavish or casual happenings, we know you have places to go and gifts to give—and there’s nothing that will stop us now! It’s definitely easier to shop in the malls. They are warm, convenient and somewhat cozy when you compare them to the messy streets this time of the year. Then again, you are more likely to find your unique piece in the local boutiques around town, not

to mention the satisfaction that shopping local and supporting our city bring to us. So whatever choice you make, it’s important to not wait till the last minute. You’ll add unnecessary stress to your shopping trip and feel under pressure to “get something,” only to end up regretting it later. Give yourself at least a week to look around. And if you’re shopping for clothes, don’t worry about trying on those potential gifts. I always tell my clients don’t be afraid to try it on—a garment looks totally different on a human body than it does hanging on a wooden hanger. You might be pleasantly surprised with the results—and what do you have to lose by trying things on? Lastly, bring a shopping buddy along for that second opinion, as that usually helps the undecided shopper. Of course, if you are like me and like the freedom of going wherever you want and trying a million things on without feeling worried that your shopping buddy is getting tired/hungry/ annoyed, then you will be better off going with just your fabulous self! So put a little thought into it, and don’t forget to have

ndiana weather makes it hard to acclimate, with the drastic changes throughout—and even within—the seasons. Not only does this take a physical toll on our bodies, but it can be hard on us mentally as well, sometimes causing the”winter blues.” I myself do not warm up easily, so I have always preferred to spend my winters indoors. However, during my years of endurance training and having kids, I have learned that it is possible and necessary to dress up for the weather, and that the body really does heat up with outdoor activity. Even on the gloomiest of days, natural outdoor lighting and open space are really what my body needs to remain upbeat during the winter months.

• Fleece or wool hat (For added protection, try a fleece headband under the hat.) • Finger mittens or mittens (Mittens work the best because the heat from your fingers helps to keep them warm.) • SmartWool socks to keep the toes warm • Neck gaiter if you dislike breathing in cold air, or for those especially windy days • Winter tights • Traction cleats for snow and ice • Layer Up! Start with a sweat-wicking base layer (Dri Fit material—no cotton); next, an insulating layer (fleece); and lastly, a wind or waterproof layer (GoreTex or nylon). Now that you have the proper clothing, get out there and try it! It’s worth it! Your body temperature will rise, and the cold air on your face will feel great. The best part is that you can shed layers and cool down if you feel too hot.

Cold and Flu: Treatment and Prevention This season, don’t let fear of sickness keep you from living life to the fullest! Arm yourself with some basic knowledge, use common hygienic sense, and go boldly into the winter world.

W

ith memories of last year’s icy chill and the start of winter this month, many people start thinking about how to keep themselves and their families healthy during the long cold months. For starters, it’s still not too late to get a flu shot. The vaccine isn’t 100 percent effective, but it’s still the best way to prevent the flu. Here are some additional cold and flu tips from Amanda Houchens, MD, board-certified family physician with Carmel Family Medicine. What Causes Colds and Flu? Both the flu and common cold are respiratory illnesses. However, they are caused by different viruses. The flu develops when a flu virus infects the nose, throat, bronchial tubes or lungs. A cold virus typically infects only the nose and throat. Flu can be accompanied by fever and body aches, which are not common symptoms of colds. Both viruses are spread through the release of droplets from an infected person. What’s the Best Way to Treat Colds and Flu? Prescription flu drugs can reduce the time you feel sick if they’re taken when symptoms first appear. Over-the-counter cold and flu drugs can offer relief from fever,

26

ACTIVE

aches, stuffy nose and cough, but they aren’t a cure. If you use a multi-symptom cold medicine, choose one that matches your symptoms. Children under the age of 4 shouldn’t be given over-the-counter cough and cold medicines. If your child is between 4 and 6, ask your doctor before giving any medicine. How Can I Prevent Colds and Flu? There are several preventive steps you can take to avoid the flu. For instance: • Wash your hands frequently. • Cough or sneeze into a tissue or the inside of your elbow if a tissue is unavailable. • When you cough, turn away from others. • Try not to touch your eyes, nose or mouth. This prevents germs from entering your body. • Wash and disinfect shared surfaces like phones and keyboards frequently. Viruses can live on these surfaces for up to 8 hours. • Avoid crowds. • Get a flu vaccine. • Eat healthy foods to strengthen your immune system. Try dark green, red and yellow vegetables and fruits.

LI FE magazine | D E CE M B E R 2 0 1 4

More Useful Tips 1. Don’t try to act like you’re not sick if you are. When you get sick, you need to take care of yourself. If you try to push through a cold or flu, especially if you have a fever, it could make things worse. 2. Remember to sleep. Getting enough sleep is vital for a healthy immune system. If cold symptoms keep you awake at night, go to bed earlier or take naps during the day. 3. Drink up. Fluids thin mucus, helping your sinuses drain better. Water, juice, hot tea and soup are all good choices. 4. Avoid alcohol. Too much alcohol can aggravate cold symptoms such as congestion. It can also suppress your immune system and could interact with cold medications.

5 Ways to Keep Your Family Burning Calories Over the Holidays Burning extra calories daily means more freedom this holiday season. 4. Go sledding. Your kids will thank me for this one! If you are already planning to attend a family affair, offer sledding as something that you would like to handle as an activity for the family to join in on. You can be as creative as you wish, but make sure you bring everything that the family will need to join in on the fun. Your biggest incentive? Sledding at a moderate intensity for 30 minutes can burn up to 238 calories! Now that should get you moving. 5. Join my “Hall Family Fitness Challenge.” On my blog you will find my monthly challenges that I have been serving up and getting great feedback from. I’ve carefully set a monthly challenge for the everyday person to do at home with or without their children.

Hooray! The holiday season is here! And there’s no need to fret about your waistline this year! I’m dishing out my five family rules to keeping us active and burning calories daily so that we can afford the extra calories at our family affairs.

• December’s Challenge? 50 Plank Vacuums every day. Start in a low plank position, and then simply raise your hips up towards the ceiling as you squeeze your belly button up into your spine. Then lower back down to your starting (plank) position, being careful not to allow your hips to sink lower than the strict plank position. Find a video of me performing this exercise on my blog at www.hilaryhallfitness.com. I’d love to hear your feedback and/ answer your questions!

1. Walk after dinner. Taking a 15-minute walk after dinner will help your body burn upwards of 60 calories, as well as speed up your digestion. Other benefits include lowering your triglyceride levels and lowering blood sugar levels, which is especially beneficial to people with pre-diabetes. 2. Sign-up for a 5K walk. If you’ve never done a race before, have no fear! These fun, family events are designed to be enjoyed and accomplished by all ages and fitness levels. To find local walks and races, simply type a search for “5K (your hometown)” into your internet browser. You are sure to find a couple races that your whole family can participate in and enjoy. 3. Volunteer. During the holiday season, there are dozens of opportunities to volunteer your time and energy, whether that is serving food at the local shelter or walking around a hospital greeting the elderly. Volunteer opportunities are endless. Use this search engine to find opportunities near you: www.volunteermatch.org.

Wine and Cheese Wine and cheese are two of life’s great culinary pleasures, and finding the perfect match can be a delicious endeavor.

A

s with any wine and food pairing, there are a number of considerations, such as texture, acidity, fat and tannin. Rather than complicating the topic with exotic matches like Garrotxa and Meursault, we have broken the art of wine and cheese pairing down, so you can create your own.

Wine and Cheese PAIRINGS The wine-cheese pairing possibilities are endless, but to simplify the strategy, we can divide cheese into four major categories: Bloomy: Creamy, decadent cheeses, with a soft rind. Hard: Stiff cheeses, which are often sharp and/or salty. They can also be aged.

Blue: Pungent, often salty cheeses, with a blue tinge. Fresh: Soft, often spreadable cheeses that can be tangy or mild. They are not usually aged. If you have a specific cheese in mind, first contemplate the category it belongs to. You can then consult our wine and cheese pairing examples for ideas. Just as with any food pairing, it helps

to think of either complementary or contrasting flavors. A lush wine works well with a triple-cream cheese, while an acidic wine will cut the cheese’s sweetness. As you begin to experiment, taste the cheese first by itself, to get a sense of its character, and then put another bite into your mouth with some wine to see how they mingle. Many experts say that white tends to pair better with cheese, but a light-bodied red and cheese pairing is still possible.

Preparing a Wine and Cheese Party

What better way to taste a variety of pairings then to throw a wine and cheese party? Purchase a few different cheeses from a cheese shop or gourmet store with a well-equipped storage facility. Discuss your plans with the cheese monger and ask for recommendations. You can get creative with cheese place cards or purchase a nifty slate cheese tray, which allow you to etch cheese names in chalk. Lastly, be sure to serve the wine and cheese at their proper temperatures, so their flavors can emerge. Serve white wine at 45°F, red wine at 60°F and remove the cheese from the refrigerator 30 to 60 minutes prior to serving.

Wine and Cheese Party Menu A great wine and cheese party offers pairing selections with varied flavor profiles. Display the options in a circle and have your guests start with lighter wines and fresher cheeses and move clockwise toward the ones that have sharpness and depth. To simplify, you could also choose a flexible wine that pairs with a wide range of cheeses. A lean red, such as Gamay or Pinot Noir, could serve as a perfect starting point. Your guests can taste that wine with each cheese and then rank the pairings.

About the Hats Amy Conville

Amy Conville may not consider herself to be an athlete, yet she’s the very definition of an active life. As a small business owner, a wife and a mother of two young boys, Amy prides herself on the “many different hats” she wears in her life. Who exactly is Amy Conville? “That’s a hard question to answer,” she says. “It depends on the day!” Taking care of her family always comes first on Amy’s plate, but she says she’s most passionate about her work as owner and stylist at Method Salon in Carmel. “Owning a salon and doing hair, working with other like-minded individuals, is definitely a piece of the puzzle,” Amy tells me. “But I don’t want to just own my own business, or just be a stylist. I feel you can be successful at being a mother, being a wife, and owning your own business. It just takes a lot of support from a lot of people, and faith.” If forced to define herself in just a few words, it boils down to this: “Wearing a lot of different hats all at the same time and trying to find balance and happiness.”

Tip: Surround yourself with people who are better than you, and you can learn from them.

Following the Dream A graduate of Indiana University, Amy lived in Chicago for several years, working a traditional corporate job. And she found she hated every minute of that 8-to-5 existence. “I knew I wasn’t going to be successful because I wasn’t passionate about it,” she says. Amy finally decided that what she’d wanted to do since she was a little girl was to do hair, and so, leaving the high rises of Michigan Avenue behind, she enrolled in cosmetology school. At the age of 28, Amy found herself surrounded mostly by girls in their late teens and early 20s. “It was quite a lifestyle change,” she says, recalling those days, “and I’ve never regretted it. Somewhere inside I’ve always known I wanted to own my own business,

that I had an entrepreneurial spirit.” And when it comes to her business, Amy gives 100% of her blood, sweat and tears.

“Where I’m at in my life, balance is the biggest challenge,” Amy says. “Making sure that I’m present in the moment and

“Let’s face it—we all have a better day when we feel we look good,” Amy says.

Tip: “If it can be done in 10 minutes or less, don’t put it on your to-do list—just get it done,” Amy suggests.


in helping her to carve out time for herself. “I’ve had to learn to let go and trust others with my work,” she says.

A Community of Wellness “There’s nothing girly at my house ever,” Amy jokes. “I mean I own a hair salon—I thought for sure God would give me a girl! I mean I do hair and bows and braids, and I get two boys who want to wear football jerseys and basketball shorts every day of their lives!”

not letting my mind race on to the next thing I need to be doing—that’s something I work hard at.” Amy used to beat herself up if she didn’t accomplish everything on the to-do list she plans out each morning, but she finally realized the simple truth: We’re limited. “I’ve learned that 10 minutes here and there, working on the bigger project—and learning to delegate—that’s what helps you to be successful.” She believes it’s important to celebrate each and every success—every win—and not focus on what you didn’t accomplish. “I find it’s better to do a few things very well than have 20 things on your list and do them all mediocre,” she says.

A Winning Team “The best advice that I’ve been given in business is to surround yourself with experts,” Amy says. “If you surround yourself with people who are better than you, you can learn from them.” It’s having these kinds of support in place that has been critical to Amy’s success. And she points to her husband, Christian, as her

Method Salon is one of three small businesses located at 1200 West Carmel Drive. “I own Method Salon, but two other businesses and I bought the building together,” she tells me. “We all have been working on a collective vision of having one location to serve all your aesthetic and non-medical wellness needs.” Clarity MD offers physician-guided skin rejuvenation, and Dragonfly Center for Healing and Wellness offers therapeutic massage, acupuncture, life coaching, and fitness and nutrition coaching. “We want to help you feel beautiful on the outside as well as the inside, and trying to offer those services all in one location is our vision.” Amy explains that it’s difficult for a small business to thrive on its own. But with three small businesses in the same co-owned building, they can lean on each other for marketing, promotions and community events.

greatest support of all. “He has always believed in me. Our being on the same team is invaluable,” she says. It’s good to belong to a team when you’ve got two young sons. Griffin, 9, and Fletcher, 5, love to be outdoors riding their bikes and playing in the park, even in the bitter cold of winter. But Amy wouldn’t have it any other way, because she knows that by developing habits of physical activity at a young age, her sons will very likely turn into active adults. And Mom needs her daily dose of exercise, too. “I do Pilates, and I run on the treadmill,” she says, “and I run outdoors with neighbors and friends when time allows. Most of my workouts are done by myself in the basement, early in the morning or late at night.” She believes that nothing relives stress and puts things into perspective like a good workout. “I need it for mental clarity,” Amy says. “It’s very important to the balance.” When I ask if she has any free time, Amy says yes—but it has to be on the calendar! Learning to rely on others has been crucial

LI FE magazine | D E CE M B E R 2 0 1 4

Amy’s philosophy of “leaning on each other” applies to her view of community, too, and she feels blessed to be in a position, along with Clarity and Dragonfly, to host charitable fundraising events. In October, the group held a fundraiser for domestic violence awareness—specifically for the family of a close friend of Amy’s who was killed in a horrific domestic attack. The salon has also done promotions to benefit For Paws’ Sake, a local pet rescue. And this December, they’re adopting a Hamilton County family for Christmas, collecting money and donations to give as a gift this holiday season. “Giving back to the community that gives so much to you is how we all stay successful—I think if we take care of each other and help those who need it, we’ll all be happier.” Amy has never regretted the choice she made to follow her dream of owning a salon. What she’s most proud of, though, is her willingness to take a risk—albeit a calculated one. “I always say I’ll make the jump eventually, but I’ll inch my way to the edge and teeter back and forth a few times,” she says. “So many times in life, people don’t always get where they want to be because of fear, or being afraid of failure.” But Amy felt the fear and made the jump anyway. “I love the phrase, ‘The days are long, but the years are short,’” she says. “It’s hard sometimes, but if you can look at the joyous moments, you see what a great life we have. I love what I do—I feel so grateful.” By Matthew Hume

Spain: What to know before visiting It’s got what many believe is the greatest club football team ever assembled— Real Madrid CF. And that’s not to mention one of the planet’s greatest collections of art at the Prado Museum in Madrid. Here are a few key things to know about Spanish culture before you embark on your Iberian adventure.

MADRID

1. Life is just a series of fiestas.

Frenetic music, food, booze, dance and dressing up make saints’ festivals a highlight of the year in Spain, even in the tiniest of villages. The quirky Spanish imagination—Pedro Almodovar’s movies exemplify it, as do Salvador Dalí’s paintings—gives birth to the parade of grotesque papier-mâché figures in Valencia’s Las Fallas festival and the giant annual tomato fight in the town of Buñol. Seekers of peace and quiet might want to avoid Hellín, in Castile-La Mancha, when 10,000 drummers play for several days. Those of a nervous disposition might steer clear of Ribarteme, in Galicia, when survivors of near-death experiences parade through the tiny village in open-top coffins. When wild horses are corralled in

ACTIVE

Sabucedo; when wine flows all night during La Rioja’s grape harvest; or when flamenco singers carouse into the early hours during Seville’s Feria de Abril, you know you can only be in Spain.

2. There are many Spains.

During the grim decades of the fascist Francisco Franco’s rule, regional languages such as Basque, Catalan and Galician were banned in Spain. On the dictator’s death in 1975, a new, ultra-liberal constitution broke up Castilian centralism by handing over sweeping autonomy to the 17 regions. The result was a reinvigorated sense of regional pride that had a ripple effect on every form of culture. That’s why street signs and menus sometimes come in unfamiliar dialects and languages such as Gallego (Galicia), which closely resembles Portuguese; Bable (Asturias); Catalan in

LI FE magazine | D E CE M B E R 2 0 1 4

Catalonia, the Balearics and Valencia; and Basque (possibly Europe’s oldest language), which remains an unfathomable mystery of x’s, k’s and z’s.

3. Bulls are a unifying force.

Despite its diversity, Spain has at least one common thread: bulls. The bull is Spain’s iconic animal, and you won’t miss seeing at least one—alive, dead or fake. They famously thunder through the streets of Pamplona each July, and they snort and kick round the bull rings of Madrid, Seville and countless smaller towns. They also appear on hilltops beside motorways and in a decades-old advertisement for Osborne sherry. Many a stuffed bull’s head watches over a bar interior, where aficionados might be glued to a televised bullfight and later scan a

7. Easter is more important than Christmas.

Running of the Bulls review of the fight in the arts, not sports, section of the newspaper. There are areas of resistance, however, to what some see as a barbaric event. The popularity of the bloody contest is waning among the younger generation, and Catalonia has now banned the sport completely.

4. Spaniards don’t eat when you normally do. Lunch is from 2 p.m. onward, and dinner comes after 10 p.m. If you’re hungry in between or can’t reset your body clock, there’s help: Tapas and pintxo bars (pintxo is the Basque equivalent of tapas) open around midday and again around 7 p.m. In some bars, a snack still comes free with a glass of beer, sherry or wine, but some places now charge. San Sebastian is Spain’s gourmet capital, not only for top restaurants but also pintxo bars. You can make a meal on exquisite miniature dishes and glasses of txakoli (a lightly sparkling dry white wine), Rioja or cider.

rocks and cactus-studded hills. In the southwest, the sandy beaches south of Cádiz are superb for windsurfing. In the north, attractive coves and fishing harbors edge the Bay of Biscay.

6. You can stay in monasteries -without taking vows. Back in 1928, the Spanish government decided to rescue its crumbling monuments by converting them into grand hotels, or paradors. These castles, monasteries or palaces in atmospheric old towns or tranquil rural spots soon acquired conquistador-style interiors and a faithful clientele. There are now 93 throughout the country. The pick of the bunch may be the Hostal dos Reis Catolicos, in Santiago de Compostela. It started life in 1499 as a hostel-turned-hospital for exhausted and sick pilgrims after their 500-mile walk from the Pyrenees. The pilgrims’ goal was the spectacular cathedral next door, allegedly home to the relics of St. James.

Easter week (Semana Santa) is easily more important than Christmas in Spain. The whole country shuts down for four days from Holy Thursday at 1 p.m., a rare example of punctuality. Day and night, swaying processions of impassioned penitents in tall hoods and flowing robes advance to a hypnotic drumbeat, carrying crucifixes and weighty life-size statues of agonizing Christ figures and weeping virgins on pasos (floats), while flickering torchlight adds to the electric atmosphere.

Andalucian pageants are more animated, with stirring saetas—spontaneous wails of passion.

8. There are many layers of ham.

Jamón is a gastro-passion throughout Spain, inspiring fierce rivalry between producers. In fact, ham scams have become so widespread in Spain that recent legislation introduced new definitions for ham quality. The most velvety, expensive and sought after variety is jamón ibérico de bellota, from acorn-fed, indigenous black pigs reared in four specific regions: the Sierra de Huelva mountains, in western Andalucia; Extremadura; Guijuelo, near Salamanca; and Los Pedroches, north of Cordoba. At the bottom of the table is jamón serrano, produced industrially from white pigs, yet still palatable.

5. There’s coastline beyond the Costa del Sol. On the Costa del Sol, tales of rampant overpricing and badly designed hotels conflict with the glam, moneyed image of Marbella. The eastern Mediterranean coast is better known for low-cost tourism. But there are still unspoiled beaches where development and commercialism are largely absent. One of Spain’s rare volcanic regions, Cabo de Gata is a protected area in the southeast, where black-sand beaches sit beneath Arab watchtowers, monumental
