VISIT BEAUTIFUL

This summer, we welcome the opening

questioning costs can we
continued growth will ensure that we deliver the continue to lower costs and
guaranteed lowest fares and no fuel surcharges fares, while improving our
to a record 73m passengers this year. customer service.” MICHAEL O’LEARY
We recently announced our 44th base in
Seville (Spain) to our passengers which is our
8th Spanish base, as we continue to deliver
consumer choice and much lower fares than the
high fares being charged in Spain by Air Berlin,
Iberia, Vueling and Spanair.
Last month we exposed easyJet’s failure to
publish its weekly on-time statistics for the last 60
weeks. Ryanair believes easyJet has been hiding
these details since May 2009, because they know
they can’t compete with Ryanair’s punctuality,
just in the same way that easyJet can’t compete
with our low fares either. Perhaps easyJet will
now break with the past and confirm that they will
resume publishing weekly details of their on-time
stats, so that passengers can compare easyJet’s
punctuality with that of Ryanair, and assure
themselves that easyJet can’t match Ryanair’s
pricing or our punctuality either.
Ryanair is committed to guaranteeing the
lowest fares on every route we operate. We
are so confident that you won’t get a cheaper
fare elsewhere, that if you find a lower fare with
a competitor, we will refund you double the
difference, guaranteed.*
I hope you enjoy your flight with us as our
fantastic crew take great care of you. Thank you
for choosing to fly with Ryanair and I look forward
to welcoming you and your family onboard many
more low-fare Ryanair flights in the near future.

Best Wishes,

 WELCOME
There’s an LED dance floor in Europe that’s got your name on it
EVERYONE KNOWS THE JACKSON 5
track Dancing Machine, right? What a song! So
groovy, bouncing bass line, sweet harmonies
and MJ doing the old James Brown. Now, if
there’s any song to throw some shapes and let
your hair down to on holiday, for me, this is it.
It ain’t exactly the electro beats of the
dance craze Tecktonik, which has burst out
of Paris in the last decade and is sweeping
across the party clubs of Europe and North
Africa (see our feature on the movement on
page 70), but it represents the same thing.
And that is letting go on holiday. Not in a
“dance like there’s nobody watching” way
where you abandon your hang-ups and
embarrass yourself to the detriment of the
dance floor, with everyone looking at you
in horror as you express total disharmony
with your care-in-the-community
manoeuvres. Um, actually Tecktonik is a
bit like that if you ask me, but then what do
I know? I am a 35 year-old who still drops
moves to Earth, Wind & Fire!
What I do know is that dancing on
holiday is about letting go in a stylish way,
appreciating the music with sensory and
physical satisfaction. Of course it should
be, and can be, sexy as hell. We all want to
pull when we go on a party weekend to
Barcelona — book online now for our new
Ryanair hub at El Prat — and if you want to
succeed you have to know your moves and
pull them off with a calm assuredness.

RYA_42_08_Editor's Letter_ED_JM.indd 08
The holiday disco is like a huge public CONTRIBUTORS
audition — you can’t look too keen, or get
too drunk and end up flailing around like a
happy-clappy hippie. You know people are
looking at you waiting to check out what
you’re capable of, and that’s what makes it
such a buzz. This is your chance to get the
girl, or get the guy, and show that you’ve not

time to soak up the wonders of Puglia (see
our feature on page 80), after an off-the-cuff
remark about the region made by one of our
writers caused readers to beg strongly to differ.
And indeed, we concur wholeheartedly: this

and, rather than flailing around, we reached

WORLD BOG SNORKELLING CHAMPIONSHIPS
LLANWRTYD WELLS, UK
Bog snorkelling? If you think this sounds downright nasty you’re spot on, but that’s
part of the fun! Bog snorkelling entails manoeuvring along two lengths of a 55m
peat bog trench on the outskirts of one of Britain’s smallest towns, Llanwrtyd Wells
in Wales. Chances are this event was conceived after a few pints at a different sort
of watering hole – but, nonetheless, the competition has really caught on. Past
international contestants have come from as far afield as Russia, Australia and New
Zealand, and all aim to race down the bog in less than two minutes – hoping not to
drink the bog as they go. Wetsuits are optional, but certainly recommended.

Monthly or 2-weekly contact lenses need every month

But there is more... one in ten people have

contact lenses absorb protein which is
never removed risking solutions-related
discomfort. For anyone who cleans in

pain is excruciating. Lastly, there is
the environmental impact of discarded

daysoft is the answer
We have reduced the price of daily
diposables to match the cost of monthly

Also, if you already wear daily disposables,

 COMMENT
The Oscar-winning Spanish actor talks travel

“WHEN I WAS 20 YEARS OLD I TOOK TWO

months off and went alone to Brazil. That was
an experience. I came back stronger. I had fun
too. Say Brazil, and all these images come to
Javier Bardem mind: beaches, palm trees, coconut water,
samba, those little bikini things?
“But my home is in Spain. I live in Madrid,
and my football team is Atlético Madrid. I come
from a family of actors and I am very attached
to Spanish cinema – so although I love other
places too, Spain is home.
“There’s something really inside of me that
needs and wants to work in my own language,
which is partly why I made one of my new
films, Biutiful, in Barcelona. It was a tough
role. But if you want to be an actor, you have
to be really open, let yourself be taken by
emotions. The difficult thing is how to get back
to yourself again afterwards.
“I work really hard to try to make people
believe it. In Vicky Cristina Barcelona I was like:
‘Who in the world is going to believe that these
women are killing each other for me?’ But
Woody Allen thought it was going to be right, I
just had to lose a lot of weight!
“That film stereotypes people. First, Woody
makes fun of them. He introduces the clichés in

“The food in the north is

great — I would love to eat a
good piece of steak there”

a very plain way for us to see, like: ‘Wow. Latin

lover. American tourists. Spain. Wine. Come
on!’ But then he makes fun of that, and starts
to destroy that for us, to see that behind those
clichés there are people who share the same
fears, the same dependence, the same goals.
“As for the rest of Spain, well it has beautiful
places but I’m not going to tell you where
because then everyone will know! The south
of Spain is beautiful and the food in the north
is great – I would love to eat a good piece of
steak there. My most recent travels were to
Bali to make Eat Pray Love with Julia Roberts.
I like the way they interact with nature there.
There are fruits you can only imagine and
beautiful Thai food. It’s very shocking to see
how little we are and what our real place on
this planet Earth is, because it’s huge. Besides
that I was very happy to be at the beach!”

RYA_42_39_Danny Robins_ED_RS_JM.indd 39
Comedian and Travel Channel presenter Danny Robins enjoys the open road
embracing different languages and customs,
it’s also about embracing different approaches
to road safety. If travel broadens the mind, it
also sometimes narrows the sphincter.
For instance, one shouldn’t assume that
just because you are driving at high speed
on a motorbike you need to wear a helmet.
You may do that where you come from, but
there are plenty of countries where a helmet
would make you a) hot and b) look like a girl.
Likewise, just because a sign at a junction says
“stop”, it doesn’t necessarily mean you actually
should stop, it could mean “drive through
really fast without looking”.
I admit, in Britain, we are fairly safety
obsessed. In some offices, you can’t even brew
a hot drink these days without first erecting
a blast-proof screen. I once bought a bag of
peanuts with the warning “may contain traces of
COMMENT
nuts”. I have a theory that the colder it is in your
country, the more uptight you are about health
and safety. By way of evidence, I present to you
Sweden, an undeniably chilly land, and Spain,
somewhere I think we’ll all agree is pretty warm.
Preferred means of transport for Swedes? The
Volvo, a car famed not for its speed or ability
to attract chicks but for its safety. How do the
Spanish like to get about? Running down the
street chased by enraged bulls. I rest my case.
Feel free to disagree with my theory. Do write
to me and I’ll get my security team to carefully
open the envelope to make sure I don’t sustain
any paper cuts, before replying to you with
hypoallergenic ink written on paper that “may
contain traces of wood”. Better safe than sorry.

CULTURE ON THE COSTA
As the most populous autonomous community
in Spain, Andalucia is home to some of Spain’s
most glittering jewels: Seville with its wild
flamenco and famous oranges; Granada,
home to the stunning Alhambra citadel and
intoxicating Moorish history; and Marbella,
glitzy playground to the stars. And then of
course there is Malaga, whose phenomenal
historical foundations, increasingly vibrant
network of restaurants, bars, parks and shops,
and proud cultural centres are attracting
visitors for more than just sun, sea and
sangria, and providing momentum for the
city’s present bid to become European Capital
of Culture in 2016.
This may seem like a long way off, but the
build-up has been going on for centuries
– and is everywhere you look. Founded by
Phoenicians in 770BC, Malaga – like many
other cities on Spain’s Mediterranean coast
– passed through Roman and Arabic hands
before finally coming under control of the
Spanish in 1487.

THEY WILL COOK YOU THE FINEST

MEAL YOU’VE PUT PAST YOUR LIPS BUT
YOU’LL NEVER GET THEIR SECRETS
The neighbourhood started out in the
1950s when the Belgian empire was breaking
up. Back then it was just a small residential
area in the heart of the Ixelles district. But
soon enough the African population outgrew
the local one and the area was rechristened
Matongé. Today, a quarter of Brussels’
inhabitants are of African descent, and
Matongé is their playground.
But it’s also a neighbourhood to take a load
off and relax in – attracting Europeans, Asians
and others to share the same platters of food
and mumble away in their own customised
English beneath the boom, pop and fizz of
African jazz. It’s only when you spot the black,
yellow and red flag flying high over a building
that you remember you’re in Belgium.
One of the main streets is the Rue Longue
Vie (the “long life”), and it’s where Matongé
gets spicy. A row of bars with names like Cap
à Fric and Soleil d’Afrique manage to capture a
beach-side atmosphere only a couple of blocks
from the European Parliament. These bars are
run by mothers who brook no quarter when the
young lads out front get loose on the rum and

at his salon. You paint your hair in a white
relaxant cream and sit there until your head
burns hotter than a stove. Then, once the pain
is getting unbearable, you grit your teeth for
another 10 minutes, before washing it out with
a giant sigh of relief. A wave kills your hair into
a style. You’re left with small ridges that look
like map contours – and that’s how it stays.
The hair won’t grow back unless you shave it
off. A look like this can last for ages so, as Alex
explains, if the barbers don’t introduce another
hairdo or branch out into hot-towel shaves, it’ll
put them all out of business.

Girls’ braids last a bit longer than a week

It's a backpackers' dream — throwing around
a bunch of squishy tomatoes in a Spanish
village. But what is La Tomatina like for
grown-ups? Abigail King gets suited up
TO-MA-TOES
I’m halfway through laughing at my friend when a flying
object smacks me in the mouth. Seeing as I’m standing
in the middle of the world’s largest tomato fight, I might
have expected this to happen. But it’s not a tomato, it’s a
slimy and substantial lump of industrial grease. And it’s
absolutely disgusting.
Every year, more than 40,000 visitors descend on the
tiny town of Buñol, near Valencia, Spain, for La Tomatina.
What began in the 1940s as an impromptu scuffle during
a carnival procession has grown into an international
circus – involving all-night parties, more than 120,000kg of
tomatoes and, as I’m finding out, buckets of white, whipped
grease. At my age, I should know better, but it’s too late for
that now. I’ve thrown myself headlong into La Tomatina,
albeit in a practical, 30-something kind of way.
We assemble before dawn on a deserted train platform,
dressed in white, with zip-tight pockets and a pair of goggles each.
“Good job we got here so early,” says Nick, a wry Essex
boy with a pint in one hand and a Valencian girl in the other.
RYA_42_64_Tomatina_ED_JM.indd 65
“This wouldn’t have happened 10 years ago,” mutters
Alan, an Irishman in our group, as he surveys the town
square. He has a point. Now that we’re older, we’ve
researched this – looked online and checked what to bring,
where we should go and what time we need to get there.
We’re even wearing sensible shoes.
The result? We’re loitering in Plaza de Pueblo in the
empty, grey-morning light. The high-walled square is the
size of a basketball court and has all the atmosphere of a
laundry basket. There’s little sign of the all-night party.
Laurene, a French girl, shrugs. “So where is everyone?”
By 11am we have our answer. Now the square heaves
like a mosh pit beneath the heat of the angry sun. A no-
nonsense local ties a leg of ham to one end of a telegraph
pole, smears the wood in an inch-thick layer of grease
and hoists the contraption up until the jamón tickles the
palm fronds near the third-floor windows.
The aim of the game is to shimmy up the greasy pole to
claim the ham in the name of honour, courage, tomatoes,

or something like that – and it’s a great crowd-

pleaser. At first, the young, the fit, the toned
and the brave scramble up, grab handfuls of
grease and fling them into the air to make it
easier for the next man. My dollop, that curious
blend of Fairy Liquid and burnt bacon rind,
sticks to my eyelids and melts in my hair, but
the crowd is so dense I can’t wipe it away.
“What a douchebag!” yells a Californian
beside me, all of 20 years old in denim
hotpants and a Hollywood smile. I feel old.
The international coalition of backpackers
have united against a common enemy, the
tomato, and for a common cause, the ham. Not
for the first time, I wonder what I’m doing here.
On the narrow balconies overhead, deft
fingers secure the plastic sheets that cover the
shop fronts. A few houses away, lenses glint
in the sunlight as the press stand ready. The
temperature rises and my tongue feels thick,
soapy and dry. Everyone is waiting.
Something else hits me in the face. It’s water,
from a washing-up bowl on the rooftop. Splat.
A saucepan empties out, followed by a bucket
and then another loaded washing-up bowl. After
hours in the heat, the water is welcome – oh, so
welcome. A low-throated rumbling filters through
the crowd, and over the hum of the engines a
chant becomes clear. “Tomate! Tomate! Tomate!”
Call me Sherlock, but I think I know what’s
coming. A lorry crawls to the edge of the
square, and I feel a rising edge of panic. The

The first major dance movement to come out of France

since the cancan is a world away from high kicks and
petticoats. Christina Quaine throws some shapes on
the streets of Paris. Photography by Laurent Villeret

JUST THE

It’s a sunny Saturday afternoon
and I’m standing on Rue Legouvé
in the trendy Canal Saint-Martin
neighbourhood of Paris, waving my
hands around and attempting to
speed step in time to hard electronic
beats coming out of a boombox. God
knows what I look like, but people are
stopping to gaze and someone even
throws some loose change into a hat.
Paris has a long tradition of street
dance, ever since breakdancing and
body-popping crossed the Atlantic
and blew up in the city’s suburbs
in the 1980s. Today, in the name of
journalism, I’m attempting to learn
the latest dance – one born right here
in Paris – and it’s known as Tecktonik.
With me are two hip-looking
kids widely acknowledged as the
star dancers of the genre – a cross
between electro, hip-hop and
breakdance, with a bit of 1980s
voguing and 1990s glow-stick hand
waving thrown in. Treaxy, 20, and
Nemo, 22, have cajoled me and
passer-by Mèlody – a lithe 18-year-old
with angular features and big hair –
into trying a taster session. There’s a
lot of pouting and popping going on.
“Do you think she knows what
Tecktonik is?” I ask Patrick Gravity
(not his real surname), who represents
the dancers and organises numerous
Tecktonik club nights alongside the
movement’s acknowledged founders
Cyril Blanc and Alexandre Barouzdin.
“Of course,” he says, looking at
me as if I’ve just arrived from outer
space. “Everyone in France knows
about Tecktonik.” What started in a
smattering of Parisian underground
clubs a decade ago slowly spread via
YouTube videos of teens dancing in
bedrooms across the world and is
now a global phenomenon.
The story started back in 2000 at
Le Metropolis nightclub in Rungis, a

southern suburb of Paris. Cyril and Alexandre,

both friends, were tired of the usual clubbing
scene, so they started organising nights called
Tecktonik Killer, where thousands of clubbers
would step to the heavy sounds of Belgian
techno and “hardstyle” (a mix of hard trance,
hardcore and rave). More and more dancers
started choreographing routines and dressing
in the same style, and Tecktonik was born.
The name was inspired by tectonic plates,
signifying the meeting and clashing of cultures.
It struck a chord with teenagers who loved
the freedom it gave them and the fashion
style it has become associated with. Millions
started watching the online video posts of
kids performing in the streets around the
Eiffel Tower and Pompidou Centre.
“I love the Tecktonik look,” says Nemo.
“It’s all about tight-fitting jackets, fluorescent
colours and slim jeans. It’s quite 1980s.”
The mullet is the hairstyle of choice for the
Tecktonik dancer (male and female), although

Treaxy has recently abandoned his in favour
of a shorter style. Treaxy is Tecktonik’s
poster boy. He has danced on CNN, taught
the routines in fitness centres across France,
and earned a starring role in a music video for
French electro band Yelle. The clip for their
track A Cause des Garçons remixed by TEPR
has had over 20 million views on YouTube.
“I’ve been hip-hop dancing since I was
eight years old, and Tecktonik was a natural
progression,” he says. “For me, it represents
liberty – it’s an energy and a way of thinking.
It’s my mission to take Tecktonik to the world.”
It seems that ambition is paying off too, as
cool kids from Kazakhstan, Russia, Mexico,
Morocco, Ivory Coast and Tunisia are all
becoming au fait with Tecktonik. Treaxy is
presently touring these nations with big club
nights organised by Patrick Gravity and the whole Tecktonik collective.
“It’s amazing in these countries because everyone knows exactly how
to dance it,” he says. A little bit of Paris has reached the world.
So, how does one actually dance Tecktonik? At 30, I’m a good few
years above the average dancer’s age bracket but, hey, I can still move.
“There are basic moves, but you can adapt them to your personal
style,” says Nemo. “It’s all about expressing yourself. If you’re feeling
angry you dance hard, if you’re happy dance soft.” The music begins Techno trio
Mèlody finds her rhythm

So perhaps it hasn’t quite achieved world domination just yet. Still,

There’s a secret to making the

perfect cup of coffee, as Alexander
James finds out as he trains to be a
barista at the Illy school in Trieste.
Photography by Alexander Short

The last time I sipped the perfect cup of coffee was in the least
salubrious of places – a fast-food diner in Pisa. It was made by a
grunting, wispy-haired gent, with no hype, no ceremony and no
stamping of loyalty cards. The result was a thick gulp of liquid-velvet
richness that left a touch of sweetness lingering on the tongue.
I have been attempting to recreate that cup ever since, which is
why I signed up to a course promising to transform coffee virgins
into fully fledged baristas – taking me to the Università del Caffè, run
by Italian gourmet coffee brand Illy in Trieste. What would happen I
b
wondered? Would I be able to make the perfect cup of espresso, and
free myself from freeze-dried instant forever?
When it comes to coffee, Rome and Vienna are renowned, but Trieste
is truly Italy’s hidden coffee gem. Stuck at the crossroads of Latin,
Germanic and Slavic Europe, Trieste is identity crisis brought to life in
bricks, mortar and very attractively laid out public spaces. It was Austrian
until 1918, independent for a while after World War II – when the Iron
Curtain descended unceremoniously right through its suburbs – before
becoming Italian, but only in 1954. While Venice and Florence have their
unique cultural pull, Milan is the cosmopolitan heart of fashion and Rome
has la dolce vita, Trieste is the Java-hub of Europe, with it’s this melting
pot of second- and third-generation Austrians, Czechs, Croatians and
Slovenians that harbours a passion for coffee like no other.
In the average Triestine coffee emporium you will find a selection
of 50 ways in which a coffee can be served. There’s a poster showing
all of them at Caffè degli Specchi on Piazza Unità d’Italia. To the
untrained eye they look like different servings of espresso with

varying degrees of milk, but they are in fact

far more complex. Take the “Nero Gocciato in
Bicchiere”, a shot glass of coffee, crowned by
a micro-foam drop of milk, heated to such a
temperature that it adds a smooth round taste
to the intensity of the bean. Heat the milk
too much, however, and the result is a burnt
flavour that smothers the coffee flavour. It’s a
delicate balance. The people of Trieste have
their own specific tastes of coffees and times
to drink them. When I ordered a cappuccino
after 11am the barista stared at me like I’d just
insulted his mother.
Luckily Illy’s Università del Caffè, where
wannabe baristas are trained, is here to help
me survive. Entering the coffee company’s
headquarters, I stroll past espresso bars and
through sleek corridors to find a lecture
theatre adorned with super-powered coffee
machines. Glass-encased desks make up
the rows, with artist-designed espresso cups
gleaming inside.
I find out from wall displays that coffee first
came to Europe through nearby Venice in the
17th century, but the roasting houses started
in Trieste at the same time to support the new
trade. The city’s position as the main trading
port of the Austro-Hungarian Empire helped
to establish it as an epicentre for perfecting the LASTLY,

the bean, and to bring out the flavours.”
The barista works to a set of basic rules, and
to disobey just one of them could lead to his
handiwork being spat out in disdain. “The ideal
taste of a coffee should be a perfect balance
between
etween bitterness, sweetness and acidity, and
thatt is where the barista comes in,” Morena says,
beforee passing me over to one of Illy’s head
baristas,s, Michele Pauletic, to show me the basics.

Lastly, there’s the
he milk, which m must be full
fat. Anything elsee will no not give you the same
texture or finish.
“A cappuccino is like a cocktail, and the
ingredients need to be right. That includes
the milk,” Michele says. “It needs to have a
temperature between 37°C and 65°C, and be
frothed until the consistency starts to shine.”
To create latte art he shows me how to pour
the frothy milk into a black espresso, tilting the
milk jug backwards and forwards, as the froth
starts to rise. You pour the milk down with a
wriggling action to create a ripple-effect leaf.
I try quite a few times, managing to spill half
the milk on the first attempt, before getting one
almost right. Michele has been doing this for
15 years. No wonder he makes it look easy.
So next, with my new education to hand, I
hit Trieste’s cafés to check out how the local
baristas do it for real. Wandering around this
calm and beautiful town by the sea, overlooked
by rolling hills, with its uplifting architecture,
two castles and centuries-old churches you’ve
no choice but to unwind and focus on what’s
important. For literary titans and sometime
Trieste natives, James Joyce and Jules Verne,
coffee drinking was an essential pastime. Joyce,
who is remembered by three different statues in
the city, would sip espresso at the Caffè Stella
Polare on Via Dante (tel: +39 040 632742).
Needless to say the barista here pours my latte
expertly, getting that ripple leaf just right.
Coffee is more than a drink in Trieste; it’s a
culture. It’s made by the barista here with the
same sense of intuition a sailor has sensing
the wind. I haven’t been here long enough for
coffee making to become second nature yet,
but I do know it’s as much about respect as it
is technicality. I’ll raise a thimble-sized glass to
wispy-haired gents across Italy for that.

Italy enjoys a reputation as the gastronomical paradise

best food within Italy is an honour indeed. There is such
a region, and it is called Puglia. Its sunny climate creates
the perfect conditions for cultivating the 50 million olive

legendary tomatoes and an abundance of the best fruit
and vegetables you will ever taste, and with the Adriatic

 RYANAIR INFLIGHT PROMOTION

MASALTOS.COM TEAMS UP
WITH AMAZON TO BOOST ITS
ACTIVITY IN EUROPE
The company expects to be doing five times the
amount of business in two years time

M
asaltos.com, the Spanish company
specializing in gentlemen’s
footwear designed to increase the
wearer’s stature, has joined forces
with the online sales portal, Amazon, in order
to increase its activity in Europe. The company,
founded in Seville 15 years ago, hopes to increase
its business on the continent by a factor of five
within two years. The agreement is already
underway in the United Kingdom and Germany,
and will be extended to other countries over the
next few months.
Masaltos.com is the first Spanish company
of its kind to meet all of the requirements set
by the world’s leading e-business site. These are
guarantees related to the viability of the company
wishing to sell on Amazon, as well as the quality,
authenticity, uniqueness and variety of its
products, their attractiveness to consumers, etc.
The company chose Amazon as a sales channel
because of “its leadership and reliability”,
according to Andres Ferreras, general manager
and founder of www.masaltos.com. “Amazon
gives greater presence to those companies that
receive a good rating from customers, who
use a meter to score the product’s quality and
availability, ability to meet expectations, reliable
delivery and simple handling of any returns,
among other things. Although it would probably
be simpler to sell through other portals, we feel
very comfortable with Amazon.”
The www.masaltos.com shoes allow men
to “grow” by up to 7 centimeters thanks to a
wedge-shaped insole hidden inside. Furthermore,
this footwear is manufactured using a special last
meaning the show has space for the insole while
also holding the wearer’s foot snugly, facilitating
movement and contributing to good circulation.
Experienced chiropodists and orthopedic
surgeons participate in their design.
The Seville firm has carried out the
administrative process in record time, and it
now offers on this website around 100 different
models of shoe, starting at 90 Euros.
Great Britain and, particularly, Germany are
countries with a growing demand for this kind
of shoe. In fact, www.masaltos.com already
has more than 15,000 customers there. Its
incorporation into the Amazon sales channel
will allow it to enlarge its market quickly and at
a reasonable cost. The other great resource that
Amazon’s business model offers is anonymous
purchasing with home delivery, cornerstones of
the Sevillian company’s success.

vibrant culture – a holiday in Malta has it all
Situated in the heart of St. Julian’s and within
walking distance from all major tourist attractions,

F
rom the bastions of Mdina you can see for miles, surveying a land
that has been fought over for centuries by Greeks, Romans, Turks and
the French. Culture abounds on these beautiful islands, with plenty of
palaces and museums to explore too.
But if your idea of a holiday is stretching out on the beach, with the waves
lapping onto the shore, you’ll be spoilt for choice. Head to spots like Golden Bay
Beach, whose clear-blue waters are perfect for families and sun-worshippers alike.
All of which should give you an appetite for the hedonistic nightlife of
Paceville, a local festa or just some of the island’s impressive cuisine. When you
want it all, Malta is just a short flight away!
this family friendly pub is bursting with fun kicks
in live music and karaoke nights where everyone
joins in a singsong. Challenge the landlord to
a game of billiards while the landlady shufÁes
around the pub ensuring everyone’s happy.
Last but not least try out our traditional Pub food.

MALTESE
PROPERTY
Fought over for centuries, this
Mediterranean gem offers sunshine, sandy
beaches and a superb laid-back lifestyle

H
ave you ever dreamed of owning your own slice of history? When
the Knights of St John built their strongholds on this picturesque
archipelago off the coast of Sicily, they wanted this sun-drenched
spot all to themselves.
A jewel in the Mediterranean, Malta is filled with historic towns, long, sandy
beaches and locals who enjoy a laid-back way of life. The capital, Valletta, is an
eclectic mix of old and new. Grand buildings line the historic waterfront while
further up the coast, resorts like St Julian’s offer the perfect escape, with fishing
boats bobbing in the harbour.
Real estate opportunities abound, from beach-side developments to penthouse
apartments – all offering the chance to share in the magic of these islands. The
companies on these pages will help you to make your property dreams come true
in beautiful Malta.

Learning a language?
Consider it child’s play.
Think about how you learnt your native language as a child. The world was
your classroom, but there were no lessons. You were an active participant in
the process of learning, but it all seemed like fun and games. Like child’s play.
That’s the secret to Rosetta Stone®. We unlock your brain’s natural ability
to learn a language. You’ll learn through engaging, interactive activities that
encourage you to think in the new language. And just like a child, you won’t
memorise or translate. You’ll have fun as you progress, and you’ll find it easy
to achieve your language learning goals.

f there is one thing that defines the
geography and appearance of Cantabria it
is the variety of landscapes. This variety is
due to the concentration of high mountains,
deep valleys and a sheer coastline in an area of
little more than 5,000 km2.
So stunning is the landscape of this region
that despite occupying only a small area in
central northern Spain, it gives its name to two
geographical features that define the Iberian
Peninsula on this flank: the Cordillera Cantábrica
(mountain rauge) and the Cantabrian Sea.
It is a harsh, yet beautiful land, worked by
the hand of man for hundreds of thousands of
years; however still being a valuable habitat for
local vegetation and wildlife. It is a land of mist
and water, in which the brilliant light, filtered by
infinite clouds, paints an incredible concert of
green on the rocks and cliffs.
Natural Parks
The Net of Natural Protected Spaces from
Cantabria is integrated by 37 spaces. Of them, one is
National Park (Picos de Europa) and six are Natural
Parks (Liencres’s dunes, Saja-Besaya, Oyambre,
The Peña Cabarga Massif, The Asón Heights and
Santoña’s Marshes, Victoria and Joyel).
The curious, sensitive and knowledgeable
traveller will find in Cantabria an infinite
number of alternatives with which to turn the
exploration of this land into an unforgettable
personal experience.
Active tourism
One of the main Jacobean routes, the
Northern Camino of Santiago along the Coast,
crosses Cantabria from east to west. Apart from
this, you can go for walks in the region, following
routes marked with internationally recognised
indications or the ‘Green Routes’ and discover
an ideal destination to practise adventure
sports such as canoeing, rafting, paragliding,
horse riding, water skiing or bungee-jumping.
Beaches
Up to 90 beaches of fine and white sand
along the 220 kilometres coastline of Cantabria
are one of the main tourist attractions in the
Spanish region. Larges, small, urban or rural;
peaceful and protected or open to the bay of
Biscay, most of these beaches are located
near towns that provide a wideranging offer of
accomodation and other infrastructures.

 MALTA & GOZO: so many special experiences...

A short trip to a No better place to learn

long history
Enter Neolithic temples older
than the Pyramids. Walk inside
the fortified ancient city of
Mdina and explore the mag-
nificent capital city Valletta, a
World Heritage Site built by
the Knights of Malta in the 16th
century. Be impressed with
the Co-Cathedral of St. John’s,
and gaze at the only signed
Caravaggio in the world. Live
7,000-years of history.
Gozo: The Magic of
Calypso’s Isle
The smaller sister island of
Malta that’s just 20 minutes
away by ferry. From splendid
spas to fantastic dive spots, the
island offers perfect snorkeling,
bike trails, dramatic landscape,
beaches and colourful events
to its visitors. A wide range of
accommodation is available, as
well as a growing selection of
luxury converted farmhouses.
Sail into adventure.
Experience the unforgettable
Coastal walks along cliffs or
sandy beaches, on horseback,
or on a mountain bike.
Malta offers almost any sport
under the sun. Tackle the is-
lands’ famed cliffs for rock
climbing and the best scuba
diving offer in the Mediterra-
nean. Or perhaps a sailing trip
around the islands to find your
own small bay of tranquility.
English
A twist of fate over 160 years
ago gave Malta its status as an
English-speaking nation.
So whether you’re brushing up
your English conversation or
keen to follow a programme
tailored to your profession,
Malta has a choice of over 40
English language centres to
cater for you; each with its own
approach and atmosphere.
