XÀBIA
NEGRA 2018 BRINGS TERROR AND
MYSTERY TO THE COSTA BLANCA
The
third edition of XÀBIA NEGRA, a celebration of
Noir Fiction, will be filling the spaces of the town
with terror and horror over the long 'puente' weekend
at the beginning of November. The cultural festival,
which brings together film, photography and literature,
has become a benchmark for the genre in the Comunidad
Valenciana and mayor José Chulvi, who is also
responsible for tourism, said that the event is just
another of the many that are hosted by the town throughout
the year: 'We like things to happen in Xàbia,
am active town where people with talent and curiousity
can come to meet'.

ANOTHER
DAY OFF - OCTOBER 12: FIESTA
NACIONAL DE ESPAÑA
Hot
on the heels of October 9th, the Valencian region's
special day, comes Spain's national holiday, October
12th 'Fiesta Nacional de España'. Not that you'd
notice much, especially in this part of the country,
aside from being another day off. There's plenty of
excitement in Madrid where Spain's military might parades
through the streets and in Zaragoza where 'Las
Fiestas del Pilar' are celebrated with a ten-day festival
of music, dancing, bull-running and a spectacular offering
of flowers. But elsewhere? Well, it's a nice day off.
