‘SHORT AND SWEET’ February is an odd month. In Valencia, the sun starts to seep out and it doesn’t really feel like glum winter anymore. This is a city that really flourishes with good weather. The terrazas start to fill up, dining out, going for long walks and clubbing and gigging all become viable options to pass the time rather staying in with the telly and internet. Of course, Saint Valentine’s Day gives the month that extra spark too… To celebrate the Chinese New Year, Helen Westwater has a ‘Dumpling’ recipe just for you. In restaurant of the month, we visit the long-established and newly refurbished Indian restaurant ‘Taj Mahal’. We also report on ‘UNO’, the latest welcome addition to the Mercado Central with its authentic and attractive selection of Valencian food, drink and desserts. Our drinks connoisseur, Riki Wigley, has a look at the growing trend for Valencian Vermouth. In ‘Valencia Music’, we have an exclusive interview with the Starlite Campbell band regarding their studio

out in the country, ‘Supertone’ record label and latest album release ‘Bluberry Pie’. In ‘Valencia Film’ we interview Jonathan Hall about his film ‘SOLO’, set in the mountains of a village in the Valencia region. You can also read all about the life of writer Blasco Ibañez as Valencia celebrates 150th anniversary of his birth this year… Check out our exclusive photos of ‘24/7 Valencia Party People’ and a ‘Clubland’ article about what’s going on in the nightlife world in Valencia during February. In ‘Valencia Shopping’ we visit Novedades Casino, which is a fascinating little shop in the old centre that specializes in old posters and books from the region and so much more. In ‘Valencia Comic’, we interview local legend Fedde Carroza about his work and his active life that combines illustration with sports, music and working in the Barrio del Carmen. Have a great month, keep on shining and see you all soon… Cheers! 24/7 Valencia team

VALENCIA FILM EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH JONATHAN HALL Tell us something background…

about

your

I seem to have changed streams quite a few times in my life. The early years involved a bit of doing up property in London (it was the early ‘80s, after all!), then lots of travel, then 10 years or so involved in cricket, as a semiprofessional player and coach. I also started a cricket bat-making company called Millichamp and Hall, which is still going to this day (though no longer anything to do with me) and which, though I say it myself, is a bit of a cult. When I sold that, I moved into writing (something I had always done). I am now in year 15 of my infallible, get-richin-three-years writing plan.

daughters – I think even at that age it seemed like some kind of paradise. Then I had a wild summer here, staying with another local family, when I was in my teens. We’ve found it pretty easy to fit in here (‘here’ being the village of Barx in Valencia province), specially by speaking a bit of Spanish and we are overwhelmed with how welcoming and accommodating the Spanish are. In fact, as Londoners, it’s taken more effort to adapt to village life than it has to living in Spain Without ruining the ending… could you tell us in detail about the film ‘SOLO!’

This is ‘SOLO!’ in a nutshell:

What brought you to the Valencia region and how does it compare to living and working in London?

When London busker Barney inherits a tumbledown cottage in a rundown Spanish village, all he wants to do is sell it, and go back home – before the villagers discover that he’s the son of the man who ruined the village in the first place.

I’d studied Spanish at university, so I guess there was always a chance I would end up here. I actually remember spending a summer in Gandía when I was 11, with a local family of seven

But to sell the house, Barney needs money to fix it up. So with help from local musician Paloma, and despite her ex-boyfriend’s interference, he sets about re-forming the village band, and

winning the prize money in an upcoming competition. However, when he stands in to play a trumpet solo at the funeral of the previous bandleader, he inadvertently reveals that he is his father’s son – their playing styles are indistinguishable. How will the village react? And what will Paloma do now?

This is the website, which has a little teaser on it, and which also has a blog of the entire process from conception through to Oscar win (ahem!): https://socialscreen.co.uk/films/solo

The idea came to me when I was sitting in the village bar wondering what to get my wife for her birthday, when the Barx band marched past. I thought: Maybe I should ask them to do a ‘Happy Birthday’ flash mob, which got me thinking... Has it been difficult to fund the film?

It’s always difficult to fund films, and – oddly – the lower the budget, the harder to fund. We simply couldn’t have made this film without the extraordinary generosity of everyone involved, all working for free or, in the case of the professional ‘heads of department’, for minimum wages. In the end, it felt like

the whole village was involved, and not least the wonderful band. Nevertheless, we did need to fly people over from the UK, accommodate them, and feed them. There are also unavoidable things like insurance, hard drives (it’s not celluloid anymore!), music licences, etc. To fund that, we found a couple of private investors, and also my wife’s company, La Montaña, that makes scented candles inspired by our new life in Barx. The ethos of her business (nostalgic, feel-good) fitted perfectly with the film, so, in a way, the film is a kind of advert for the candle business.

in smaller independent cinemas – the kind where you can sit in a comfy seat and sip a glass of wine – or with an ondemand service like Netflix. There are even pop-up cinemas nowadays. The whole thing is becoming much more democratic.

And all of this was umbrella-ed under a UK tax scheme called an EIS (all perfectly legit!) which encourages investment into small businesses – movies included.

"On our mountain, at first light, there’s a heavenly fragrance in the air. Before anyone starts an engine, or lights a fire, the air is clear, and still, and silent. The first breath of the day carries the perfume of wild mountain herbs; fennel, rosemary, mountain pepper, and intoxicating rockrose. The alchemy of these fragrances, blended naturally on the breeze, weaves a magical spell… The inspiration for our first candle.”

What is the future for film, television and cinema with so much streaming on the Internet?

The future is pretty bright, as it happens. Yes, a lot more people are making movies, but there are now many more ways to get them in front of an audience. The key is to find the right way for your movie. Multiplexes may be fine for huge Hollywood blockbusters (franchises, superheroes, epics), but movies like ‘SOLO!’ probably don’t belong there – though I’m not ruling it out! Actually, it’s probably more likely to find a home

Could you and your wife Cassandra tell us about your ‘La Montaña’ product?

We didn’t move to Spain to start a business – far from it, we moved here to smell the roses. But even before the movie, Cass had already started a business: http://www.lamontana.co.uk.

In fact, before it was an inspiration for a candle, it was just a beautiful part of our new life, but when Cass became obsessed by trying to ‘bottle’ the fragrance, the candle business was born. The candles sell online, the business is now two years old, and is going from strength to strength – there

are now seven fragrances, stockists, distributors, etc. Hard work, but you know what they say: If you love your job, you never work a day in your life. Do you have any plans for the coming years?

For the film, it’s now a question of doing a great job in post-production (that means making the images look even lovelier and the sound even more amazing – a lot of work considering all of the music); we want to make the film as fabulous as we can, not least so that Barx can be proud. That whole process will take a few more months. We’re still hoping to have a cast-and-crew screening in Barx’s outdoor amphitheatre this summer. After that, we need to find a sales agent to take it around the world selling it. And with that come lots of trips to film festivals around the world to try to promote it. Sounds okay to me! Obviously, I already have a treatment for ‘SOLO! 2 (The Big Gig)’. All we need are a couple of investors… And for the candles… we’ll be introducing new products (e.g. reed diffusers), new combinations of products (sets of mini-candles) and a new (secret!) fragrance - Cass’s very favourite part of the business Interview by Owl

VALENCIA MUSIC

STARLITE CAMPBELL BAND Tell us something about both of your backgrounds in music and the name of your band…

Well, we are pretty seasoned songwriters and musicians and, following a whirlwind musical romance, we married on May 12, 2014 in Inveraray, Scotland. Suzy is a fine vocalist and songwriter plus plays fiendishly groovy bass, guitar and keyboards. She studied media & performance at Salford University and was a member of the folk-rock band Megiddo, who released an EP in 1994, followed by an album in 1996. In 2012, she formed the band Starlite and drafted in Simon on guitar. That year they played many gigs featuring all original material, including Mannifest, a three day festival on the Isle of Man. Simon is a guitar player, vocalist, songwriter and record producer. Following a number of original bands, he was signed to Polydor Records in the early ‘90s and released an album with his band Little Brother. After the band split, he went on to form the Disciples and released an album in

1994. In 2011, Simon was nominated in the Best Vocalist category in the British Blues Awards following the release of his debut solo album ‘ThirtySix’. 2014 saw Simon release his second solo album, ‘The Knife’, which reflected his increasing love of acoustic music from both sides of the Atlantic. We started the Starlite Campbell Band in January 2016, co-writing our new blues album ‘Blueberry Pie’ in just two weeks in April, and recorded it at Supertone Records over the next few months. How do you find living and working as musicians in Spain?

To be honest, it’s pretty tricky as we are full-time musicians with a session band from the UK and we all need to earn a living! The scene is pretty full of jazz and Latin-based music, rock, pop, etc… so we need to travel to play live. There are festivals over here, which we are planning to play over the course of this year. Hopefully, our agent can string all this together into a tour. Could you fill us in about your studio and record label in the Valencia region?

Of course! We run Supertone Records and operate a world-class vintage/ analogue studio from Estivella in the mountains near Sagunto, around 25 minutes’ drive from the heart of Valencia.

The studio is centred around a Trident Vector 40-channel mixing console with a great history from Bjork and Alvin Lee to Rammstein and the Manic Street Preachers, complemented by many vintage instruments, microphones, outboard and amplifiers including a Yamaha acoustic piano, Hammond organ and Wurlitzer electric piano. We principally set this up to record our own music but we do let it commercially for around 20 weeks a year. It’s a fantastic creative space. The new album was recorded and mixed there and is receiving fantastic reviews from all over the world from North America, Canada to Australia and everywhere in between. We also work with artists and release them on the label. Currently, we have world-class saxophonist and woodwind player, Javier Vercher, who just

STARLITE CAMPBELL BAND released his duo album ‘Filantropía’ with Jorge Rossy. We also have Ales Cesarini featuring Payoh Soul Rebel, who recently released ‘Nyabinghi’ on Supertone Records. Would you take us through each track on your new album, ‘Blueberry Pie’?

Well, it’s a blues album with a feel centred around the mid/late ‘60s British blues explosion. This wasn’t intentional and happened organically as the recording techniques and sounds with which we wanted to paint pushed the record in that direction. We wanted to keep the album constrained to a four-piece, without additional instrumentation so it could be reproduced live. The lyrics also depart from the blues norm and are written about people and situations we saw during the course of early 2016. Many of the tracks started with a riff and “Walkin’ Out the Door” is no exception. Suzy started playing and the guitar just came naturally, informed by the groove. The build at the end happened during the recording process as much of the album was recorded live. “I Need A Light” started with a bass riff and the more major-sounding scale that was used in the melody kind of told us it needed a slightly psychedelic sound and hence the harmony fuzz guitar in the solo. We love the Wurlitzer part on this, great work by Jonny. We went through many permutations of lyrics to get where it needed to be in “You’re So Good for Me”. The solos really played off each other with Jonny really piling it on towards the end; the Hammond organ nearly caught fire! The lyric of “Cry Over You” really drove the melody and arrangement and used the guitar lines and chords to enhance its power. Even though wrapped in a Texas bluesstyle wrapper, “Say What You Want” is

a straight-up protest song. Jorge Rossy comment on Steve’s groove – “That is one mean-ass shuffle”. We love acoustic music and vocal harmony is something not found so often in the blues. “Blueberry Pie” is just the two of us and was done in one take. Clean as a whistle. Suzy is historically a folk singer and says she doesn't do blues. Well “Guilty” shows that she can and has been rightly quoted to sound like Dusty Springfield. The middle eight is Simon’s favourite bit of music on the album.

choice on drums and percussion due to his blues credentials! Jonny Henderson (Robben Ford, Matt Schofield, Otis Rush) was drafted in on Hammond organ and Wurlitzer electric piano following a pretty intense

Every album needs an “Empire”, one take of riffing complementing the angry lyric… Yes, we were pissed off. “Don’t Get Me Wrong” started life as a totally different feel and it was only when we came to record that we saw it as it should be. It features Simon on lap steel guitar. Guitar instrumentals are always fun and we wanted “Shimmy” to reflect that carefree ‘60s vibe. The final track “Thrill You” is the sort of thing you would have heard in an American smoky blues club in the early ‘60s. Many reviews say that the guitar is inspired by B.B. King, but actually it was Peter Green to whom Simon tipped his hat... Tell us about the story behind the distinctive front cover and the other musicians who recorded the album with you…

The cover was shot by Suzy in the late ‘70s as part of her school photography project which she developed herself. It’s of her Grandma Betty, who clearly was fed up of being photographed and a moment of joking was caught by the camera. We were very fortunate to be able to get ahold of the perfect musicians for the album. Steve Gibson (Van Morrison, Jack Bruce, Chris Farlowe) has known Simon for 25 years but only played in a band together briefly. He was the obvious

search for the right guy and he fitted in perfectly! And finally we have seen Danny Boy Sánchez play harmonica at many a blues jam and loved his style and articulation! What are your musical plans for 2017?

2017 will see us touring in Europe and the UK on the back of the amazing support we have received from the worldwide blues radio and magazine community!!! We have also started to write the next record which again will be based totally in the blues. Could the Valencia region be a new Nashville for musicians in the future?

We love the place and the Californian climate is very conducive to creativity. It’s also very inexpensive; this combination of factors could really make this happen with an influx of contemporary musicians from all styles and genres. There needs to be some political will from the local government to promote the region in this way to really make it happen. Interview by Owl

BLASCO IBAÑEZ

BLASCO IBÁÑEZ

CELEBRATING THE 150TH ANNIVERSARY OF HIS BIRTH Novelist, journalist, politician, war correspondent, founder of utopian communes, publisher of books and newspapers, voluntary exile, tireless traveller, political prisoner, anti-cleric, duellist and womaniser; Vicente Blasco Ibáñez was born in Valencia in 1867. His novels have made him one of Valencia’s most celebrated sons. But, just like Valencia Football Club manager Voro, he always considered himself to be a man of action rather than words. Blasco Ibáñez is, after Cervantes, the most translated Spanish writer of all time and 17 of his books have been made into films. He wrote more than 20 novels but his best known works internationally are “Blood and Sand” from 1908, which was later brought to the cinema in a Hollywood blockbuster starring Rudolf Valentino. Even more famous was “The Four Horseman of the Apocalypse” from 1916, for which he

was awarded membership of the French Légion d’Honneur. These two novels in particular brought him great riches. “Horsemen” spent twelve months at the top of the US best-sellers list in 1916 and 1917. To Blasco Ibáñez’s great personal delight, it outsold even the Bible in the middle of the Great War. The novel has had four separate screen adaptations; the most famous was directed by Orson Welles. In Spain, he is better known for his earlier period of regional novels, which many critics claim to be vastly superior to his international best sellers. Titles like “Cañas y Barro”, “La Barraca”, “Entre Naranjos” and “Arroz y Tartana”, which were all written between 1894 and 1902, reflected the harsh life of the rural lower classes in the Valencia region at the beginning of the Industrial revolution. Progressive and social realist, they were highly critical of both the ruling classes and the closedminded, stuck- in -the -mud attitude of the Valencian peasants themselves. The money he made from the regional books gave him the freedom to spend the next two years writing his three darkest, almost Kafkaesque attacks on social injustice and the power of the church: “The Cathedral”, “The Intruder” and “The Hoard”. As the archetypal champagne socialist, the stark social

criticism of the novels contrasted sharply with his playboy lifestyle, with a harem of lovers in his luxury home (now a museum) on the French Riviera. This was far and away his least commercial but probably most personal period, and you’d be hard pushed to find any copies of his books from this period in Fnac or El Corte Inglés (and quite rightly so). He then, of course, followed it up with 11 consecutive international best-sellers including “Blood and Sand”, “Four Horsemen” and “Mare Nostrum”. Throughout his life, he was largely rejected by his literary peers and, in particular, the renowned group of intellectual writers of the time, collectively known as “La Generación del ‘98”, who considered him to be too commercial. Not that he was too bothered, with his palatial homes in the south of France, New York and Valencia, and to some extent he openly enjoyed the ostracism. When asked why he was never accepted as part of the ‘Generación’ his laconic reply was: “Because people actually buy my books”. As a politician, Blasco Ibáñez was what you might call a utopian and what you’d almost certainly call a maverick. He founded his own Valencian political party, the republican separatist Partido Federal in 1891, only to be expelled

twentyfoursevenvalencia 13

by his own former supporters five years later. He then joined the Partido Republicano Federal and served as an MP from 1898 to 1907. After falling out for the umpteenth time with his colleagues in 1909, he decided to found a party more in his own image, the Partido Republicano, known in the press as the “Blasquistas”. The party was based on three principles close to Blasco Ibáñez’s idealistic heart. “We are Valencian, utopian and staunchly anti-cleric”. He financed the party throughout with grand and somewhat eccentric gestures, like the time he paid for a plane to drop leaflets all over Spanish territory carrying his speech entitled “Por España y Contra El Rey”. As you can imagine, King Alfonso XIII wasn’t best pleased and called for his arrest. This type of thing was nothing new to Blasco Ibáñez, who throughout his life was arrested more than 30 times, both for political reasons and, more often than not, as a result of his womanising. He was well acquainted with local judges and never imprisoned for too long. He was never slow to say his piece and actively sought political controversy which, along with a long queue of offended husbands, meant that he was involved in more than 20 non-fatal first blood duels (life was too much fun to risk actually being killed). Amazingly, the Blasquistas outlasted even the man himself, until the party

was finally disbanded after a disastrous result in the 1936 election with Spain on the verge of civil war.

dollars each. That was a veritable fortune in those days, but then, you have to pay the rent somehow.

Blasco Ibáñez was fiercely Valencian but also a citizen of the world. He always kept his home on Malvarrosa Beach (where his dutiful long-suffering wife waited for him) but he lived at different times in his life in Mexico, Argentina, France, New York, Rome and Florence, and travelled to Mongolia and China, always surrounded by the trappings of his millionaire lifestyle. In 1909, he went to Patagonia in the south of Argentina where he set up two utopian communes named ‘Ciudad Cervantes’ and ‘Nueva Valencia’. The societies were to be cooperative and self-sufficient and incorporated Valencian farming methods, along with dozens of Valencian farmers that Blasco Ibáñez had brought along with him. The experiment was a financial disaster, but the towns he founded still exist and he came back to Spain virtually bankrupt but happy. We’re not sure what happened to the Valencian farmers…

Blasco Ibáñez died in Menton in France in 1928, having made many friends and enemies, made and lost a few fortunes, and lived a full and eventful life. His body was brought back to Valencia in 1933. His grave was neglected during the dictatorship (Franco wasn’t really a fan of his work) but since 1976 he has been given full honours and a big, brash, noisy avenue was named after him.

In 1916 he worked as a war correspondent all over Europe during the Great War. It was a labour of love as he didn’t exactly need the money. In 1920 he spent a year on a lecture tour of the United States, hosting conferences on El Quijote for which he earned 1,000

RESTAURANT OF THE MONTH

TAJ MAHAL When we first arrived on these shores some 18 years ago, it was hard to find restaurants serving international cuisine and there were just a couple of Indian restaurants, as far as I remember. One of them was the Taj Mahal, which is still going strong and has just recently been completely revamped. Established in 1990, it has been serving Indian and Pakistani dishes for 27 years! We went just before Christmas - me, B and D. We went again last week to try the new menú del día. The refit is clean, very light and gives the whole room a very spacious feel. There are panels of brightly coloured photos of India as you walk in the front door and to your right there is a window waterfall which is very attractive. There are framed pictures on the white walls, more photos and some paintings and tapestries. All the tables

are laid with white linen and attractive crockery in muted colours. To the right of the main room there is a bar from where they serve drinks, not just wines, but I have it on good authority that they serve great cocktails and mocktails! We had a very nice Kir Royale on arrival.

jalfrezi and me the lamb rogan josh. We also ordered, to share dhal tarka (fried yellow lentils), palek paneer (spinach and cheese), pilau rice and naan bread. We snacked on poppadoms and pickles while we waited for our dishes and shared a red bottle of Acantus 2014.

It’s all a great improvement over its previous incarnation, I particularly liked the fact that there is a good deal of space between the tables. More and more often in restaurants lately, I feel like I might as well be sharing a table with the people next to me when we are seated so close together. I was also impressed with the acoustics, no straining to hear each other speak over a background of babble that crescendos to a peak as the evening progresses.

There are two menús de degustación (taster menus) on offer – one for two people priced at 35€ and another for three people at 55€. The first menu consists of two starters – pakora and chicken tikka followed by chicken tikka masala or lamb madras with basmati pilau rice and a cheese naan. The 55€ menu consists of three starters - pakora, chicken tikka and seekh kebab followed by a choice of chicken tikka masala, lamb madras or chicken Mughlai with basmati pilau rice and a cheese naan.

On our evening visit we decided to order á la carte. D went for the mixed grill, a large and sizzling dish of griddled king prawns, a kofta and lamb and chicken tikka. B ordered the mix vegetable

On our return visit, the menú del día offered the pakora starter and for the main a choice of vegetable curry or lamb madras. I chose the lamb and

TAJ MAHAL

B the vegetable curry – we ordered a rice and a naan (included in the 10.95€ price). The pakoras were really good and came with a mayonnaise-y sauce and salad. My lamb madras was tasty and the lamb was very tender. B’s vegetable curry was good and quite spicy. Also included in the price was a very quaffable Acantus 2014 red wine and coffee, which represents very good value. The service, too, is great. Next door to the Taj is their supermarket and halal butcher. It’s a great place to get not just your Indian spices, rice and vegetables, but also foodstuffs from all over the world including odd little things you might miss from England - Branston Pickle and HP sauce, for example! They also sell beauty products from India and beyond. The Taj ‘empire’ also includes a warehouse-sized store, selling not just bulk to the trade but also to the public, just off the Pista de Silla in Catarroja. Tim Birch

CHINESE DUMPLINGS

CHINESE DUMPLINGS 'JIAOZI' Ingredients.

CHINESE DUMPLINGS ‘JIAOZI’

By Helen Westwater The 28th of January saw the start of the

Chinese New Year, heralding the year of the Rooster, a sign associated with

wealth. Last year’s naughty Monkey seems to have left us with a certain

wealthy mad rooster creating havoc (!) so let’s hope that by the end of the year,

the true rooster will bring us wealth in health and peace of mind instead! With

that purpose, invite your friends and try these tasty little ‘Jiaozi’ dumplings that are traditionally made to welcome the New Year. They resemble shoe-shaped

gold ingots, an early form of Chinese

e filling. Finely chop all the vegetables and spices. Mix with the minced pork, stirring in the rice vinegar and soy sauce. Place a spoonful of the meat filling on the pastry circle. Wet your fingers in a jug of water and moisten the sides of the circle, fold over the meat and squeeze to neatly seal. Repeat until you have filled all the wrappers. Dust lightly with flour to avoid sticking. If you have a steamer, line the pans with non-stick paper. Alternatively you can boil the dumplings directly in the water, or bake in the oven, or fry. Steam for at least 10 minutes. The pastry will become slightly opaque. Open one dumpling to check it is well-cooked before taking them off the heat. While your dumplings are cooking, mix up the ingredients for the dipping sauce.

currency, and symbolize longevity and

Serve the dumplings hot with the sauce on the side.

wealth.

First make the wrappers. Place the

flour in a large bowl, make a well in

the centre and then add most of the water. Mix in the flour with a wooden

spoon to avoid burning your hand until

the mixture gradually comes together. Then knead well. The dough will need

to rest for between 15 minutes to 2

hours. When it has rested, divide into sections and then roll out roughly 25 round balls. Each ball should then be flatten

VALENCIA FOOTBALL de la Cerámica (formerly El Madrigal) was the highlight of the season for most Valencia supporters.

OUT ON A LIM Make no mistake about it, Valencia are in absolute turmoil both on and off the pitch and are well and truly in a relegation battle to maintain their La Liga status for next season. The club started their new year in the headlines for all the wrong reasons. Manager Cesare Prandelli and then sports director Jesús García Pitarch resigned from their respective roles. The Italian’s decision to quit as manager in late December was not really a surprise. Despite only being in the position for 10 games, he had already developed a fractious relationship with Pitarch and both parties were frequently contradicting each other in interviews with the press. A summons by the owner Peter Lim to Prandelli to go to Singapore for ‘clear the air’ talks did not amuse the likeable Italian and, within days of the meeting he had moved on, citing broken promises for transfer funding and Pitarch’s interference as the major reasons. Pitarch’s position became equally untenable and he did not last much longer, leaving the management infrastructure once again ‘lim-less’. As always they called upon the club’s faithful servant Salvador González Marco, affectionately known as ‘Voro’, to sort out another fine mess that the club’s hierarchy had got us into. Born in the Valencia town of L’Alcúdia in

1963 on 9 October (Valencia Day), Voro first stepped into the breach after the departure of Ronald Koeman in 2008. Winning four of the last five games that year; he helped save the team from relegation before reverting back to his previous post of youth team coach when Unai Emery was brought in from Almería for the beginning of the next league campaign. More recently he has taken temporary charge after the dismissals of Nuno Espírito Santo and Pako Ayestarán. Previously, the former Spanish international, who was part of the 1994 World Cup squad, had stated he did not want the role permanently. So, once again, he was the natural choice to plug the gap for a while until another new face was found. According to Louis van Gaal, he was offered the post in midJanuary but rejected it, stating that the timing was all wrong. Shortly after the aborted attempt to prise van Gaal, the club issued a statement that Voro would remain in charge until the end of the season. Since then there have been a couple of bright spots on the field in what has been a very gloomy season for the Valencia faithful. A January victory at local neighbours Villarreal brought a smile to the fans faces and the addition of some of the Valencia Mestalla B players within the first team squad has given the fans renewed interest. The recent inclusion of local born talent Carlos Soler has excited everyone and his goal at Estadio

On the flip side, the more recent performances have been lukewarm at best and infuriating at worst. The remaining chance of silverware came crashing to a halt in the first leg of the Copa del Rey round of 16 against Celta Vigo. Inside 20 minutes the team were three goals down and effectively out of the tie. The white handkerchiefs were out earlier than usual, as a shellshocked Mestalla went down finally by four goals to one. Arguably, the most disappointing game of the season to date was the 4-0 drubbing at home by unfashionable Eibar. They have made good use of the La Liga lifeline, given in 2015 when Elche were punished for financial irregularities, by giving the Basque side a reprieve when they had actually finished in the relegation positions. Since then, they have continued to remain on an upward curve and gained many admirers along the way. The smallest club ever to play in La Liga, they are the blueprint for every aspiring local team. They stipulate players must live within close proximity of the town and most of the population of around 27,500 supports the team, although the ground capacity at Ipurua is just over 6,000. The players are wellintegrated into the community and the spirit this creates has been reflected on the pitch. No more so than in the game against Valencia at Mestalla. Eibar were everything Valencia were not. Working as a team, they fought for every ball and for each other whilst Los Chés huffed and puffed and ran around like headless chickens. A well-taken first goal by their energetic centre forward Sergi Enrich, a 2015 acquisition from second division Numancia, was no more than the visitors deserved. Just before half-time was the talking point of the game. From

a corner, there was a fracas between Carlos Soler and Gonzalo Escalante. The Eibar player fell theatrically to the ground as the ball was in the air and the referee immediately blew for a penalty and reached to his pocket to give the Valencia youngster a red card. Replays seemed to suggest that Escalante had hold of Soler’s face initially and that he then reacted angrily by lashing out at the experienced Argentinian. The home side’s remonstrations fell on deaf ears and the youngster, who has been at the club since he was seven years old, trudged off inconsolably to the biggest applause of the day from the Valencia supporters. The loss of Soler was compounded seconds later when Adrián scored from the penalty with the last kick of the first half. The second half proved equally frustrating for the home fans as their team failed to produce a single telling effort on the Eibar goal. They in turn scored an additional two goals to give their cluster of travelling fans a very enjoyable evening. As Valencia trudged off disconsolately, the Eibar keeper Yoel (currently on loan from Los Chés) spent 15 minutes after the game talking and having photos taken with a visiting fans peña before joining his celebrating team mates in the dressing room. That epitomises the spirit of “the Gunners” and that is also

CLUBLAND

SHORT AND SWEET IN FEBRUARY The first month of the year has already flown by and you haven't had a decent night out yet? No big deal. Even if the last time you went out you had pesetas in your wallet! On the other hand, you’re might still be recovering from last weekend’s fun. I’m sure you’ll find something in this month’s post that will catch your eye. OK, let’s get down to brass tacks!

Akuarela Beach (C/ Eugenia Viñes, 152) is a club that was originally built as a spa on the Malvarrosa seafront and has become a ‘must’ on the Valencia night-life scene. To prove that, they are putting on one of the most exciting nights this month on 11 February. The main guest for this event is Eric Estornel, an American DJ and producer better known as Maceo Plex, who has recently been chosen as the 4th best artist of 2016 by the renowned electronic music platform Resident Advisor. With that snippet of information you can imagine the quality of the set that can be expected. He will be accompanied by local DJs such as Edu Imbernon, or Mike Gannu. Our next venue is Moon (C/ San Vicente Mártir, 200) formerly known as Mirror, Noise and Cormorán amongst others. This club’s agenda is a good example of the wide-ranging variety of events on

24/ 7 VALENCIA but to wander around some of the livelier parts of the city at night, discovering the

offer this February. This space has been newly refurbished and equipped with a top sound system that will be put to the test on 24 February by the legendary disco band Boney M! Come along, it’s suitable for the general public. Just a week before and on a totally different note, the electronic duo Red Axes, who played at the latest edition of Burning Man festival, will be performing at the same venue. They will be bringing to us their unique audiovisual approach to house and techno music which was much commented on by the press last year.

Not too far away from the centre of Valencia is the trendy neighbourhood of Ruzafa, which has been transformed from a downtown suburb to an area highly populated with bars and with a thriving nightlife. One of the clubs that contributes to this growing scene and you might want to check out is XL Playground (Gran Vía Germanías, 21). Sometimes with an XL queue due to its popularity, it has three dancefloors to give you the chance to select kind of atmosphere that suits you. People from all walks of life congregate here sharing the same idea, to have a good time. Quite often the best way to enjoy a good night out in Valencia doesn’t have to imply going purposely to a beach club

atmosphere for yourself. I’d recommend El Carmen; this area is full of pubs, bars, restaurants and clubs all within walking distance of each other. So, you’re spoilt for choice! Nevertheless, after having had something to eat and few drinks, I’d suggest you round the night off at Radio City (C/ Santa Teresa, 19). This is a cultural centre offering all sorts of exhibitions, concerts and even flamenco shows during the week. At night it becomes one of the hot spots in the old town, with a great atmosphere, affordable drinks and eclectic sounds: you’ll be able to hear anything from a Smiths remix to drum & bass.

If you're more into the latest hits of EDM and mainstream music, then Café Bolsería (C/ Moro Zeit, 12) is the place for you. With punters from all over the world and a late closing time, this place located at the very heart of Carmen attracts young people who are looking for a good night out that may run into the early hours. That’s all folks, hope you find it useful. Hasta pronto! Micael Kiernan

VALENCIA VERMOUTH

Bar Almudin

‘LA HORA DEL APERITIVO’ THE RISING TREND OF VALENCIAN VERMUT

Valencia has long been the city of gin tonics! But now the trend for aperitifs has grown and vermut is making its way back. The bittersweet drink is on the rise and on the shelves of many bars in Valencia again. Historically, there used to be a vermut made in many village bodegas around the Valencia Region. It was as traditional and as common as mistela or rancio and today there are still some small bodegas making it. The origins of vermut belong, according to historians, in Italy (for vermut rosso) and in France (for white). Piedmont and Chambéry claim the respective garlands both back to the 18th century. But a drink which sounds very like vermut was being produced in Requena in Roman times so maybe the experts

are not entirely correct! Certainly there are examples made around the Mediterranean and the drink last went through a revival in the 1970s (remember the Martini adverts?) What is Vermut?

Well, strictly speaking it is a drink made with a wine base (either red or white), which is placed in a barrel or stainless steel tank into which the dry ingredients (bark, roots, herbs, spices, fruit peel and other ‘botanicals’) are added. Later, neat alcohol will be added to both increase the body of the drink and to stop fermentation occurring. There are many varied botanicals but the one which must be included is ‘wormwood’ or ‘ajenjo’ in Valencian. Others (there may well be over 20) are cloves, cinnamon, quinine, citrus peel, cardamom, marjoram, chamomile, coriander, juniper, hyssop, and ginger. The drink may have sugar added and in France, for example, where white wine is used as the base, caramel will be added to give a ‘red’ vermouth. In Valencia, the traditional bases are

moscatel or macabeo for white vermut or monastrell (mourvedre), garnacha , etc., for reds. It is a choice for the maker! Who Makes It?

Setting aside the traditional village cooperatives where it is still possible occasionally to find a vermut, it has been a product associated with specialist bodegas. Probably the most popular are the Vittore white and red vermuts from Valsangiacomo, both widely available in supermarkets. But others have been quietly making it for some time and are now receiving recognition for the quality of their product. In Alicante province, Primitivo Quiles in Monóvar even export their vermut to the USA. The coops of Xaló (Jalón) and Teulada both produce quality vermuts. In Valencia, Toni Arráez in Font de la Figuera produces ‘Piscolabis’. Alonso Sanz’s 4 Xavos is made in Aielo de Malferit, Belda in Fontanares and Cent Piques from Moixent are all examples of artisan vermuts. Baronía de Turís have just introduced their new ‘A La Hora’ vermut,

twentyfoursevenvalencia 45

ARTICLE BY RIKI WIGLEY

have recently added a reserve vermut with a family recipe dating to 1904, which is equally good as a digestif to take after a meal. And a new vermut is shortly to be released from a bodega in Castellón, Mas de Rander. Where can I buy or drink it?

In almost all cases you can buy them directly from the bodegas or online. Alternatively, in Valencia, many of the small independent wine shops such as Bodegas Biosca (Ruzafa), Els Bodeguers (Cánovas, El Carmen and elsewhere) carry them and the main markets, El Corte Inglés, etc. Most bars and restaurants have a vermut on their list. Of course, vermut is also used in several cocktails so they are widely available in night clubs and discos as well. But there are also bars which specialize in traditional drinks. So try El Vermut near the Economics Department of the University, Bocatín in El Carmen or Bar & Kitchen in the Mercado de Tapinería and, of course, Casa Montaña in the Cabanyal amongst others.

What are the characteristics of a good Vermut?

What constitutes a good vermut is obviously a matter of taste but there are certain ‘rules’ which help. First of these is that the base wine should be well made but fairly neutral, that is to say that the wine should not overpower the botanicals. The second is that the ingredients should be of the highest quality and, perhaps to the point, should be natural products, not commercial flavourings, essences or other chemical substitutes! The alcohol used as described above should come from wine, i.e., be distilled from grapes. Industrial alcohol should not be used. Nor should the alcohol by volume take the vermut above 15 – 17% ABV. This alcohol adds to the body of the vermut and too much alcohol is … well, too much alcohol! On the nose, the botanicals should emerge slowly as the wine warms up and evolves in the glass. Not all the botanicals will show themselves straight away, one of the pleasures of drinking vermut is the emergence of different

aromas over a period of time! Vermut finally should be drunk over ice, with a slice of fresh orange or lemon and be accompanied by traditional ‘picks’. In Valencia these are considered to be olives, jamón, albóndigas de bacalao, snails and almonds amongst many others! So next time you are out and about give Valencian vermut a try, you will be pleasantly surprised! This article was prepared by Riki Wigley and Marian Darás whose VÍ vid project promotes Valencian wine and gastronomy. VÍvidBlog (http://vvidvinos.wordpress. com) reports regularly on bodega visits, launches of new wines, etc., and restaurant reviews.

This week has seen the publication of two blogs covering the wines of Bocopa, a bodega based in Petrer (Alicante) but whose wines are available throughout Valencia, and a restaurant review for La Plaza in Torrente. VÍ vid are also in Facebook…..have a look at our activities there for more information on Valencian Wine and Food! Article © 2017 24/ 7 Valencia
