Could you survive a weekend with no sleep in Berlin? Lightweights need not apply
WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU
pulled an all-nighter — when you said to
yourself “Forget sleeping, I am going to party
till dawn”, and actually did so? Heck, when
was the last time you went on a 48-hour
bender, spent your weekend getaway
seeing the sights through blurry eyes, flirting
with people, eating and drinking from the
moment you landed to the moment you
took off again?
Well, this issue we tell you how to do it
in Europe’s most sleep-resistant capital,
Berlin (page 70). Who needs sleep? Hah,
who needs hotels? Indeed, the best thing
about such a trip is that if you don’t plan on
sleeping you don’t need to spend cash on
beds. I mean, let’s be honest here, hotels are
for lightweights! You’re not a lightweight are
ILLUSTRATION: SCOTT CHAMBERS / WWW.SYNERGYART.CO.UK
you? In Berlin, avoiding hotels means bar-
and club-hopping the dark hours away.
But if, like me, you’re more of a summer
sun person I recommend going on your 48-
hour mission to a hot Ryanair destination
like Ibiza. I’ll see you there in August.
If you plan on cutting out the hotels from
your trip to the White Isle, I recommend
Space Ibiza for Come Together on
Thursdays, fantastically decadent evenings
with top DJs and lots of hedonistic pleasure.
But the difference with this sunshine-
drenched island is that, unlike Berlin, you

can spend your days lazily hanging out on CONTRIBUTORS
the beach, sipping caipirinhas so it’s easy to
manage. You can even have a quick siesta if
you’re flagging (although true hedonists will
tell you that bedtime is for kids).
Another good trick to managing your
awake-all-night two-day mission is to
get yourself signed into the Facebook
for millionaires networking website,
asmallworld.net. Joining ASW (as members
refer to it) can be a bit of a pain as you need JAMES WILLIAMS

HENDRICK’S HORSELESS CARRIAGE OF CURIOSITIES
There was a time when entertainment used to roll into town in horse-
drawn carriages, and charismatic men would extol the virtues of their
miracle cures, love potions and strange curios. Well, those days are
back, at least this summer, courtesy of Hendrick’s Gin, who have filled
one of those new-fangled horseless carriages with strange contraptions
to confound even the most free-thinking individuals. Marvel at the boa
constrictor in a jar, gawp at the golden egg from the golden goose and
gasp at the semaphore calculator, when the carriage rolls into Buxton
Festival Fringe (until 18 July), Port Eliot Festival (23–25 July) and Camp
Bestival (30 July–1 August). Visitors are also encouraged to bring their
own bits of exotica to contribute to the collection in exchange for a

Distinguished international and Finnish productions of

Theatre festivals are among the earliest type of festival,
and classical Greek theatre was associated with religious
celebrations dedicated to the god Dionysus, who was always
having a good time. Though I doubt the proceedings of his
day were able to compete with this Finnish stage — featuring
the likes of 1970s-inspired Days of Disco (above). And there

DONKEY RACING
SALI, CROATIA
There are 1,820 inhabitants in Sali, the
main town on the island of Dugi Otok.
It’s hard to host a party with such a
small pool of people, so the first event
in its summer cultural festival is a trip
to the metropolis of Zadar, where a
band plays music to gather a crowd
for the return journey. Once in Sali,
people enjoy a feast of fish stew, grilled
tuna and other seafood, followed the
next day by concerts and sporting
events like scooter races, bag races
and a tug-of-war. The final day features
a series of donkey races along the
quayside. The fastest donkey and
rider win a slab of prosciutto while,
in typical Mediterranean fashion, the
laziest donkey coming in last is also
commended for keeping it low-key!

that the festival takes place at an open-air museum of industrial parts, including cranes and
bulldozers. It’s pretty surreal. Some of the big acts of 2010 include Massive Attack, The XX,
Jónsi, Broken Bells, Groove Armada and Booka Shade. The other cool thing about this festival
is that they offer a bus to sleep in where you can “melt” into bed after three days of partying.

THE MONOKINI
Heading for your hols and contemplating a
simple two-piece bikini? Pah! So last year. This
summer is all about slinking by the pool in cut-

swimsuit you won’t actually want to get wet.

Scalextric tracks it will leave on your skin – but
then that’s what overnight fake tanning is for.
These so-tight-they-could-be-sprayed-on

catwalk shows from Michael Kors to Roberto
Cavalli. Agent Provocateur also has a slashed-
to-the-navel style and too-clever lining that
tones and trims you without needing to sweat
on the Power Plate first.
If your milkshake brings all the boys to the
yard then the monokini is going to magnify
your assets. Best suited to slim girls with long
torsos and a defined waist (ie, not many of us

tricks to nailing this one. If you’re a busty, curvy

snail porridge and “sound of the

breaking waves on an iPod. Culinary

emotion, memory and the interplay
of sight, smell, sound and taste”.

white-sand beach called Santa Monica. We ate
traditional homemade food and I breakdanced

“I try to get to know the locals and avoid
the tourist traps to find out about the culture.
You bring your background into everything
you do, and that includes dance. Classical
repertoire is just steps, how you make them
different for yourself is everything you bring
to them culturally. The Russians, for example,
are very competitive, very academic and true
to their legacy. Ballerinas there are absolutely
incredible – it’s like a factory line, producing
women with legs up to their ears. They are also
incredibly committed. They never rest, and are
working every day of the week.
“The French are very stylish, very proud of
their company, which is one of the best in the
world. The dancers all have hyper-extended
feet and a very high arch. You really won’t find
one French dancer without this feature.

Houston Ballet and we came to England
together. But while I was accepted to the
Royal Ballet, she was not. For a while she was
dancing in Scotland and we travelled between
the two cities, but she injured her knee and
went back home. No, we didn’t manage to stay
friends. It hurt too much.
“I’m writing a novel at the moment, and I
like reading the classics when I travel – The
Great Gatsby, The Catcher in the Rye. At the
moment, I’m reading 2666, the last novel by
Chilean writer Roberto Bolaño, who lived for
some time in Barcelona. I really like that city –
the Gaudi architecture is amazing and there’s
lots of adventure to be had, as well as a big
arts scene and lots of bars and restaurants.
Yes, dancers do eat, especially on holiday.”

IT WILL HAPPEN WHEN YOU LEAST EXPECT IT.
It could be when you realise you’ve just put
depilatory cream on your toothbrush, or that
you’re wearing slippers in the supermarket.
Or perhaps it will be the shocking revelation
that you’ve just forwarded a naked picture
of yourself under the subject line “Look what

there was no contact lens. Puzzled, I reached
into the left and found two lenses – one on

blurred vision wasn’t the onset of cataracts,
clearly if I was starting the day by stuffing two
lenses in one eye like some sort of astigmatic
cyclops, I pretty urgently needed to find myself
on a beach with a book in one hand and a pina
colada in the other. Or, better still, pina coladas
in both hands with the book balanced on top.
Some nationalities are better than others at

 COMMENT
Guardian newspaper columnist Zoe Williams is worried about the state of British beaches
HERE’S MY BIG CONUNDRUM: YOU GO
to a beach in the Algarve, sift through the sand,
and all you find are tiny, beautifully formed
ocean shells. You go to an English beach, sift
through the sand… 35 cigarette butts. And yet,
from what I gather of Portuguese culture, they
smoke way more than people in my country
do. So there must be some disruptive factor
between smoking a cigarette and throwing it in
the sand. What have they got – better bins?
“I love the 20-year-old bouncy castles, the permeating smell of onions”
So I have come up with a theory about
English beaches. And let’s not kid ourselves,
they are pretty filthy. According to the UK’s
Marine Conservation Society Good Beach
Guide 2010, 420 of 769 beaches tested did not
meet their standards for water quality – and in
the past three years it has been getting worse.
Storm pollution and sewer overflow pipes are
the prime causes of the mess but, ultimately
beach-wise, Britain is the dirty man of Europe.
42 WWW.RYANAIRMAG.COM
RYA_41_42_Zoe Williams_RS_ED_JM.indd 42
It’s like being called the obese man of Europe:
you kick yourself a little bit, but also take a
rueful pride in it. The rest of the continent
can keep its washing and dieting, we have
backbone (underneath all our lard).
But this has gone beyond a joke – even the
beaches that we call the cleanest are about as
savoury as candyfloss. Naturally, I love it anyway;
super-pale English pre-teens, on fire with
enthusiasm, giving everybody attitude. I called a
kid on the beach in Ramsgate “kid” the other day.
He replied: “I was born in November 2001. So
you just think about that!” I love the 20-year-old
bouncy castles, the permeating smell of onions
– hell, I love the fact that everybody still smokes.
And as for the dirt, my theory is that it’s all a
weather thing. Every time we consider picking
up our own rubbish, or mending our slovenly
ways, we think: “Well, we’ve got plenty of time
before the sun comes out. We’ve probably got
about seven years before the sun comes out
for a whole day.” And then we go back to other
matters of town-maintenance, such as the
hanging-baskets outside pubs.
Suddenly, the sun comes out. It is so
unexpected it’s like an affront. What to do?
We can’t go on to the tatty beach, we haven’t
cleaned it! But we can’t stay in, we might not get
another day like this before the children leave
home. Sod it, if there are enough of us (and
ILLUSTRATION: TOM PERCIVAL / ADVOCATE ART
there always are), we can just pack the beach
and you won’t be able to see the fag butts.
And that’s how it happens, every single
year. And local councils have the brass neck to
ban dogs, as if they’re the dirt-monkeys of the
marine experience. The whole beach business
is a lot of fun, combined with a shocking lack of
self-awareness – like morris dancing.

Indeed, if you like tales from long ago,
then the one about the she-wolf who suckled
Romulus and Remus by the banks of the river

the two brothers had a bloody fight over who

This White Island institution
is the sizzling queen of beach

fashion shows to promote the

BEST BEACH FOR SURFING
TAGHAZOUT, MOROCCO
The surf’s always up at Taghazout,
where the hippies first planted
their longboards in the sand back
in the 1960s. This 8km stretch
enjoys 350 days of sunshine a year,
and the backdrop is a picturesque
fishing village with colourful
wooden boats and a traditional
Berber community. Beginners
can paddle out to beach breaks
like Devil’s Rock, while advanced
riders can experience the thrill of
big take-offs on some pretty testy
reefs and world-class right-handers.
Chill out afterwards at simple cafés
like The Spot, where freshly caught
fish is the order of the day. For a
cool place to stay, the Surf Berbere
“camp” offers all-inclusive tuition,
tasty cuisine and accommodation
overlooking the beach.

ZATON, CROATIA
The sandy shallows of this

are perfect for little people.
You can let bigger children
loose on the water slides and
sports courts, and there are
also bikes and surfboards for
hire, as well as horse rides
for princesses demanding:
“Daddy, buy me a pony.”
Nestled in a pine wood, there
are plenty of facilities to keep
the kids happy in the heat
– from showers to parasols
– and if all else fails, ship the
teens off to the disco club to
make new friends over the
latest Euro-pop hits. A good
number of lifeguards keep an

can read your trashy novel

CALA LUNA, SARDINIA, ITALY
Boasting a quarter
of Italy’s coastline
— 2,000km of it —
Sardinia is carved out
in romantic sandy
coves and treasure-
trove beaches. At
Cala Luna, the air
is thick with the
scent of herbs called
macchia and the sand
is strewn with pink
oleander. Like most
well-kept secrets it’s
unreachable by car,
so either hike the
6.5km or take a pirate

you there daily from

has been reminded how
fabulous it is that “God

notoriously decadent Plage
de Tahiti, with its luxurious
golden sand and trendy bars
and cafés, is the place to
go topless, or just as nature
intended you. The French are
famously nonchalant about
nudity, and even the name
of this beach is a nod to its
exotic French Polynesian
vibe. British journalist Janet
Street-Porter was quoted as
saying: “I had never seen so
many bare breasts in so many
different shapes and sizes,
all happily flopping about
unencumbered by anything as
dreary as a bikini top.” If you

 BIG WEEKEND FLY TO BERLIN (SCHONEFELD) FROM 12 DESTINATIONS, INCLUDING BREMEN | DUBLIN | DUSSELDORF (WEEZE) | EAST MIDLANDS |

BEDLESS IN
London’s got 24-hour drinking and Madrid doesn’t kick off till 5am, but if you
really want to see a city that just won’t be told when to go to bed, check out
Berlin. It’s big, scruffy and cheaper than the 1990s — Conor Creighton spends
48 hours in Europe’s most sleep-resistant capital. Photography by Steve Ryan

10am 11am 1pm 2pm 4pm

There’s only one
way to get around
when the weather
is clement. One in
four journeys here
are made by bicycle
and Berliners, you’ll
notice, have legs
as toned as marble
columns. Or you could
be brave and buy a
second-hand jalopy
on Pannierstrasse.
It’ll maybe last you
till Sunday, but will at
least make you look
local. Now invest in
an old cardigan and
ditch your iPhone for
a brick. You’ll be giving
directions in no time.
Many visitors to Berlin
get so caught up in
the contemporary
that they forget about
the city’s historical
side. The word “Nazi”
has become diluted
with time, today
often being used for
a referee who makes
poor decisions. But in
Germany they take the
word seriously. The
Soviet War Memorial
in Treptower Park is a
stark reminder of how
nothing in our lifetime
will ever unite the
world in apprehension
like the Nazis did.
On a lighter note,
directly opposite
from the monument
is an abandoned
fairground. You can
buy it for €1 if you’re
willing to accept
the reported €5
million debt that
accompanies it.
Now the Germans
love to grill, and they
also love the open
water. A “Grill-Boot”
is a dinghy with a
barbecue mounted
in the middle, and
you’ll find them in the
same park. Lighting a
fire onboard a plastic
boat while sitting in
the middle of a large
body of water may
seem even dumber
than driving with
a blindfold, but the
Grill-Boot is perfectly
safe — and, if not, the
water’s tepid.
After a meal at sea,
it may be an idea to
paddle up river to
the Badeschiff. It’s a
swimming pool and
bar complex built on
the water. In winter, it’s
a sauna where people
skip about as naked
as the day is long. In
summer they apply a
little bit more clothing
but don’t stop skipping.

8pm 9pm 10pm 11pm 4am

A “sundowner” is
what they call a
drink you have at
sunset in Germany. A
sundowner is quite
special, and signifies
the beginning of your
night out. Club der
Visionäre is a pontoon
bar along the river.
The sun drops, the
beer is good and one,
two, three, cue the first
of your group to say:
“Man, I’m definitely
moving over here for
a bit.”
Are you getting funny
looks from passers-
by? It may be a good
idea to pop into Barbie
Deinhoff’s bar on
Schlesische Strasse
for a haircut and a
beer. Act like you do
this all the time —
latent nerves are the
biggest single cause of
scissor injuries in the
barber’s chair.
Remember your
bikes? Now it’s time to
use them properly. In a
nice orderly file we’re
going to take them on a
tour through Görlitzer
Park and across the
canal into Neukölln.
It’s early doors yet, but
keep your eyes peeled
for parties in the park.
If you find one, skip the
next section and we’ll
just reconvene over
brunch in the morning.
Final straw
Don your spacesuit
for Silver Future
Slurp… that water don’t
taste so good.
Weserstrasse is a
long spine uniting the
intersecting streets
that make up the
drinking quarter of
Neukölln. In recent
years, a huge number
of hobby bars have
sprung up to add some
variety to the local
dive bars and brothels.
Silver Future, Mama’s,
Kinski’s, Kuschlowski,
and so on, are bars
with the personality of
art installations. One
in 10 Berlin citizens is a
professional artist, one
in four Berliners exist
off social benefits, and
the average German
drinks half a litre of
beer a day. If you ever
find yourself in a city
where everyone else
is either an artist or
two days away from
the breadline, then
the best bet is not to
try to sell more art, but
instead to sell beer.
Exactly… you didn’t see
that coming. Neukölln
is like a fairground
attraction that spits
you out through a
different door into a
different time zone.
Time travel makes you
hungry. You can get a
€1 falafel at Al-Andalos
on Sonnenallee.
But be quick, we
have to bike across
town again to the
clubs. Maybe you’ve
heard of Berghain?
It’s considered one
of the best clubs in
the world and stays
open all weekend.
You probably won’t
get in right now — you
still look too clean.
Tomorrow you’ll
have a better chance
and, besides, right
now we’re going to
Watergate for sunrise.
It’s a club built on the
riverfront with ceiling
lights that make you
feel like you’re inside
an old Nokia. By now
you should have made
the switch from beer
to harder stuff. Vodka
shots, Jägermeisters
and Club-Mate (a
caffeinated soft drink)
made hard with a dash
of vodka — these are
your poisons.

well-earned breather before

Once I’ve mastered that, Seb wastes no

time getting me on my feet. With more than
20 years’ surfing experience, if anyone can
get me up on this board it’s him. We learn the
choreography on the beach before we take
it to the waves. Standing, or “take off ” as it’s
known in surfing-speak, involves getting up on
all fours, putting one foot forward between your
hands, then jumping up onto your feet, turning
to the side and squatting low. Sounds easy. And
it is – on sand.

from ordering popcorn (“palomitas por favor”)
to asking for the bill (“la cuenta”).
Lessons are between two and three hours
long and can be private or classroom-based.
Marcela recommends taking two hours of
Spanish a day when doing lessons alongside an
activity such as surfing. A timetable to suit your
energy levels can be worked out in advance.
The great thing about learning in a Spanish-
speaking environment is that I’m never short of
an opportunity to demonstrate my new skills.
“You need to lose your inhibitions,” Marcela
tells me. “Don’t be afraid to try – the only way
to learn Spanish is to speak it.” I find myself
ordering coffee I don’t want, requesting the bill
instead of paying at the counter, and asking
where the toilet is when I don’t actually have to
go. Well, practice makes perfect.
I’m getting such a kick out of using my
phrases that I actually start to believe I know
what I’m doing. Pride does indeed come
before a fall though, as I order a glass of water
– “Agua sin gas por favor” – then accidentally
proposition the waiter. Apparently, the direct
translation of “I’m hot” into Spanish means an
entirely different kind of hot. I’m not sure that’s
what Marcela meant when she told me to lose
my inhibitions. Perhaps a few more lessons will
be required.

Edinburgh Festival Fringe. Illustrations by Stevie Gee

At the beginning of August, lorry
loads of techies will arrive in
Edinburgh with enough lights,
curtains and facial piercings to
transform Scotland’s capital into
the most unique and exciting
cultural centre in the world. These
techies may not feel comfortable
communicating outside Doctor
Who chat forums but they
do know how to turn a tiny
Portakabin into the perfect theatre
– and that’s all that matters. They
are soon followed by a flutter of
comedians and theatre troupes,
wanting to make their mark in
what has become a trade fair for
the performing arts, as well as
make or break time for performers.
Unlike most festivals, there is no
jury so any show can go. This
means that the hit-and-miss rate
is pretty well balanced – with true
brilliance and complete delusion
in equal measure. And both are
just as entertaining.
I first performed at the Fringe
in 2006 as part of a sketch group
called Fat Tongue. We took to
the Fringe lifestyle very quickly
by standing on each other’s
shoulders to (illegally) put up
posters, and devoting our spare
RYA_41_82_Edinburgh Festival_ED_RS_JM.indd 83
time to handing out flyers in the
rain. I say “we”. I would often skive
off this task because I hated it
so much. “If you’re so good, then
why are you doing your own
flyering?” was a question I never
had a good reply to. Thankfully,
my two male colleagues were
surprisingly dedicated to the
process. I realised why when, on
the opening night, I watched our
audience walk in and, one by one,
hot teenage girl after hot teenage
girl teetered past and took to their
seats. That’s when I knew that,
given our show was largely about
football, it was probably time to
get a bit more involved.
One of my favourite things
about the festival is that as you
walk around, you realise behind
every door, curtain and Portakabin
someone is performing their own
little masterpiece – either to eight
people or 800. It’s a pretty inspiring
thing. In 2009, there were 2,098
shows at 265 venues across the city,
and it gets bigger every year. It can
be a daunting process to navigate
your way around, especially if you’re
staying only for a few days. Here
then, for the uninitiated, are my tips
to getting the best out of the fest.
1 / WEAR SENSIBLE SHOES
It may be August but it’s also Scotland. I know
a girl who, having worn flip-flops every day in
the rain, was soon admitted to hospital with
trench foot. Also, wear layers. The temperature
outside may be what constitutes winter in most
countries but inside the venues it is almost
always hot and sweaty.
2 / DON’T READ REVIEWS
Well OK, do read reviews, but remember that
most publications, in order to cover the vast
amount of shows on offer, employ people who
wouldn’t usually be trusted to compile the
classifieds. The sell-out board, word of mouth
and showcase shows are the best way to work
out what you should see.
3 / LOOK AT THE SELL-OUT BOARD
Outside every box office there is a sell-out
board telling you what shows have sold out
that day, giving you a good indicator of what
tickets to buy tomorrow. This is the best way
of finding out how well a show is doing.
4 / WATCH A SHOWCASE SHOW
Showcase shows are longer shows with
several different acts on the bill who are all
performing elsewhere. Mervyn Stutter usually
hosts one at the Gilded Balloon, while Neil and
Christine Hamilton have hosted several (weirdly
entertaining) shows at the Pleasance. If you

The Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series is a humdinger of a weekend.
I’m here because the 2010 competition is kicking off in La Rochelle,
France, and that’s a whole lot less flying time than the last leg, in Hawaii.
Among the 12 divers taking part are an ice-cool Colombian, some
Frenchmen, and a dangerous-looking Russian. But the guy everyone
is talking about around the time of my own death-defying leap is an
Australian called Steve.
It’s the day before the actual competition, and during training from
the diving platform attached to La Rochelle’s historic St Nicolas Tower,
Steve has a disaster. As I find out quickly, this type of high-diving is one
of the most dangerous sports there is – and Steve’s twisty-turny leap

Cliff diving began in Hawaii in the 1700s, and 100 years later the

whimsical Fun in Acapulco, then it all went a bit quiet. Like many cool
sports it survived underground, with mavericks from all over the world
testing their mettle at secluded spots where land meets sea. It may not be
on prime time TV, but it’s still there. And, with Red Bull adding its weight
for the past few years, cliff diving is back on the extreme sports agenda.
“It’s a real test of nerves,” says Gary, who started diving at his local
pool aged 10. “Even in training you have to force yourself to do it. In
your head you go: ‘Maybe I’ve done enough of these dives, maybe I
don’t need to do it again.’ But you have to force yourself, because if you
don’t train then you regret it on competition day.”
You can cliff-dive all over Europe – the World Series takes in France,
Switzerland, Norway and Italy – although none of the professionals
would recommend trying it at the regulation height, which is 26m–27m.
The thwack upon landing is so great that you can actually puncture your
lungs or break your back. Even when it goes exactly to plan it hurts.
“I’m lucky,” says Gary, who can normally be found diving twice a day at
a pirate show in the French town of Metz. “The worst I’ve had is some
nasty bruising. But I did get stung by a jellyfish once. I’d dived in at an

RYA_41_88_Cliff Diving La Rochelle_ED_RS_JM.indd 90 29/06/2010 09:55

event in Italy and got stung on the swim back to shore.”
When the competition begins, all eyes are on Gary, a runner-up in
last year’s event. La Rochelle is a pretty and bustling historic town, and
on a sunny Saturday the day-trippers boost the number of spectators
into the tens of thousands. All 12 competitors start with a dive that has
an official difficulty rating of 3.6, then follow it up with a dive of their
choice. Gary’s newest creation has got all of the other divers worried
because it measures 6.3 on the Richter scale, and is the most difficult
attempted by any of them. If he does it well, he’ll be way out in front.
After two dives he’s winning, and Gary goes on to seal the deal with a
final dive, an eye-popping quadruple somersault with one-and-a-half
twists, which makes you think he’s been fired out of a cement mixer. His

smile on the podium is so big it threatens to knock some of the crowd
into the Atlantic. “I was very nervous before my last dive,” Gary tells us,
as he shivers in his trunks. “But it worked. I couldn’t be happier.”
There’s Champagne, autographs and one big grinning Aussie in the
shape of Steve Black, who overcame yesterday’s setback to score a
respectable 5th placing. “It’s a diver’s nightmare to get lost in the air
from that height, because the consequences, really, are death,” he says.
So although I’ve (kind of) tried this myself, I’m still wondering what
drives these men – who turn up on their own and with nothing but a
pair of Speedos – to hurl themselves off a platform into the sea, risking

life and limb. “It’s the freedom,” Steve smiles. “The pleasure. It’s hard
to describe. It’s so scary, but after you hit the water, the adrenaline’s
pumping and I can’t really tell you how it feels because it’s off the scale.
It pushes you, and that’s what extreme sports are all about.”
A day later, as the Red Bull platform is being taken down and the
divers get back to their day jobs – like Gary, the bulk of them earn a
living in some sort of stunt show – I can’t help wishing that I’d had just
one go at a dive from 27m. In three seconds, you accelerate from 0 to
100km/h, hit three Gs and, if you get it just right, you enter the water
with barely a whisper – a noise they call a “rip” because it sounds like
someone tearing paper. No one in their right mind would have let me
do it, of course, but I could have snuck back here in the night when
everyone was asleep. Imagine that: a death-defying leap into the cold
black sea, sliding under the surface, struggling for air and then bursting
back up, triumphant.
Actually, maybe not. There’s no way that wetsuit would have been up
to it. And, all bravado aside, I think this is perhaps one sport that’s best
left to the professionals.

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
Splash_revised.indd

RYANAIR INFLIGHT PROMOTION
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.

Zadar’s reputation as the cool capital of
Croatia is pretty much all thanks to this
fantastic bar, owned by UB40’s producer
Nick Colgan and drummer James Brown.
The leafy garden boasts loungers, board
games and cocktails by day, while the
nights are all about hedonistic parties.

An important part of being a tourist is
trying the local booze, and Zadar has a
real classic for you: Maraschino. For 500
years, the local marasca cherries have

 THE COSTA DAURADA,
TRADITION AND FIESTAS ON THE
SHORES OF THE MEDITERRANEAN
Beaches of fine sand and warm waters, a gentle and sunny climate, excellent gastronomy and a
leisure and cultural offer with a decidedly Mediterranean touch. Have you ever dreamed of such a
place? Then you can stop dreaming, because this paradise exists. Welcome to the Costa Daurada.
T
he province of Tarragona, in the
south of Catalonia, is one of the
most privileged beauty spots in the
Mediterranean Basin. Few regions
in the world can boast so many great tourist
places as the Costa Daurada, all in one place. A
great climate, heavenly beaches and coves and
charming beauty spots and corners stretching
all along the coast of Tarragona simply bewitch
visitors. All complemented by a deeply-rooted
culture and the traditions of its kind and hospi-
table people, who make this area of the Iberian
peninsula the ideal destination for family
tourism and for anyone in search of more than
just sun and sand. Its endless beaches, so easy
to get to, and in its abrupt, virtually deserted
coves, the touch of this fine sand is so surpri-
sing, inviting the visitor to take long barefoot
walks along the beaches.
In the afternoon, the fishermen return to
the ports dotted along the coast after a long
and hard day’s work. Most of the seaside
towns of the region still have their fishing
district, although some must-see examples
are to be found in Roda de Barà (Roc de San
Gaietà), Altafulla, Torredembarra, Cambrils
and Tarragona, the capital of the area.

TARRAGONA AND THE WATER FIESTA
There is no doubt that the inhabitants of the
Costa Daurada are closely and surprisingly
linked to the Mediterranean Sea. This bond
can be detected in their customs and their
gastronomy – many of the finest dishes of
the area come from age-old fishermen’s reci-
pes - although it is also patent in their fiestas
and traditions. With the advent of summer,
the whole Costa Daurada is transformed, and

all the towns and villages hold their own,
long-awaited local festivities. On August 19,
the capital, Tarragona, celebrates the festivity properties, and it is the undisputed star of
of Sant Magí, the city’s patron saint, an event the show of the local fiestas of Tarragona
known by all the towns’ inhabitants as the in summer, where the streets are packed,

One such outstanding custom is the
Castells (human towers) which originated
in Tarragona in the mid-18th Century, and
gradually spread to the regions of the north.
Currently, this deeply-rooted tradition
enjoys great prominence in each and every
one of the local fiestas which take place the
length and breadth of Catalonia throughout
the summer.
August is an excellent month for anyone
interested in learning more about the
curious world of the Castells, the different
colles castelleres (groups) compete against
each other in what is like a sports season
to decide the best group of the year, based
No.00000 Reus.indd 3
on the height reached and the degree of
difficulty involved in erecting these human
castles. These human castles or towers enjoy
a prominent place in the different local
festivities. Numerous meetings (diada) are
held in this epoch, although special mention
may be made of the event staged on August
15 in the town of la Bisbal del Penedès, and
on the fourth Saturday in the same month in
the towns of Catllar and L’Arboç, as part of
the local fiestas of these places.
Watching one of these events is an unfor-
gettable experience and is an excellent way
of plunging visitors into the locals’ popular
traditions and culture. The Castells, a cultural
embodiment of this delightful Mediterranean
region, convey the main values of Catalan so-
ciety better than any other way, values based
on effort, self-advancement or excellence, and
a constructive spirit through the unity of its
people. Anyone that wishes to discover the
secrets of these human towers should visit the
city of Tarragona during its majestic annual
local fiesta of Santa Tecla (September 23), as
well as the neighbouring city of Reus, which
holds its local fiestas, called the Misericòrdia
(Mercy), on September 25.

During the first weekend in October, the
Tarragona Bullring plays host to the Tarra-
gona Human Tower Competition, which the
city has been holding since 1932, although it
was not fully consolidated until the nineteen
eighties. Basically, according to the rules
of the competition, the castells are scored
depending on their degree of difficulty.
A panel of expert judges makes sure that
the rules are observed. The magic of these
human towers has to be witnessed live to be
understood.
The Castells, the popular fiestas and the
coast itself are all decisive factors in forming
the character of the inhabitants of the Me-
diterranean area and their customs. The de-
votion to water, the tradition of seafood and
of working together in order to erect human
towers are but some of the characteristics
that afford this area of the Mediterranean a
personality of its own.

 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.

The Mediterranean’s best kept secret
