(Brive), Larnaca and Paphos, plus Newcastle to Krakow and Geneva, to name<br />

but a few, all on sale now. Plus the launch of our brand new base in Glasgow serving nine<br />

great destinations – Algarve, Alicante, Dalaman, Majorca, Nice, Paphos, Sharm el Sheikh,<br />

Tenerife and Tunisia!<br />

destinations, a generous baggage allowance of 22kg, and convenient flight times to a host<br />

of new and popular destinations so that you have a greater choice of holidays all year<br />

round. As we look ahead to the winter season, why not get into the festive spirit and<br />

visit one of the many traditional Christmas markets across Europe, such as those in<br />

Amsterdam, Prague and Düsseldorf ?<br />

However, if you’re looking for a shopping experience on a grander scale, it’s not too<br />

late to book the ultimate shopping holiday in the Big Apple. Direct routes to New York<br />

from Leeds Bradford and Newcastle depart 2 and 9 December, with flights starting from<br />

just £398.98 per person return including taxes with Jet2.com. ATOL-protected packages<br />

with Jet2holidays are also available.<br />

If you prefer a more exhilarating winter break, why not visit one of Jet2.com’s stunning<br />

ski destinations? Choose from Geneva, Salzburg or Chambéry – perfect for all winter<br />

sports enthusiasts... and those who prefer the après-ski.<br />

For those of you who are already missing the sun, book now for some guaranteed<br />

sunshine this winter. The Canary Islands and Egypt are your best bets, with average<br />

temperatures of around 25°C.<br />

We all know the old saying “the early bird catches the worm”, so book now for<br />

summer 2011. Take advantage of great low fares across all of our destinations, from<br />

Spain and Greece to exciting cities in France and Italy, whether it’s flight-only with<br />

Jet2.com or a great-value package holiday with Jet2holidays.<br />

So, all that remains now is for me to wish you a great flight and a fantastic holiday.<br />

We look forward to welcoming you onboard again soon.<br />

Philip Meeson<br />

Have I ever mentioned that the JetAway offices are made entirely of stone? It’s no wonder<br />

my back is in such a state. Actually, this uncomfortable armchair is in Little Germany,<br />

a fascinating historical area in Bradford’s city centre. If I’m looking more portly than usual<br />

it’s due to the 20 curries I guzzled the previous evening (see p30). Bradford’s not an<br />

obvious choice for a holiday, but I love it. Aside from the incredible food there’s the brilliant<br />

National Media Museum, the fascinating Saltaire Village and the beauty of Brontë Country.<br />

Best of all, there’s easy access to Leeds Bradford airport – a gateway to thrilling city<br />

breaks and warming winter sun. In this issue, we bite into Paris’s Big Apple (p46), ogle big<br />

fish in the Canary Islands (p40) and scare ourselves senseless (p34). We’re also thrilled<br />

to have Blackburn’s chart-topping sensation Diana Vickers on the cover. Happy flying!<br />

United We<br />

The last decade has been a rollercoaster ride for fans<br />

of Leeds United. After plunging from the giddy heights of the<br />

Champions League semifinals to the third tier of English<br />

football in just a few years, the club finally seems to be on<br />

the way back up. But, as a new book on the history of Leeds<br />

United shows, life has never been predictable for fans of<br />

the Elland Road survivors.<br />

Promised Land by Anthony Clavane, a Leeds born and<br />

bred writer, interweaves stories about the club with<br />

a social and cultural history of the city. Here, he tells<br />

JetAway about his five favourite Leeds United moments.<br />

“Winning the title in 1974. This was the last hurrah of<br />

1. the great Don Revie side. They went unbeaten in their<br />

first 29 games, and played mesmeric football that season.”<br />

“Dominic Matteo’s fantastic goal against AC Milan in<br />

2. the Champions League. It put Leeds through to the<br />

knockout phase. ‘Dom Matteo, scored a f*****g great<br />

goal, in the San Siro, in the San Siro...’”<br />

“Holding my dad’s hand on the way to Elland Road to<br />

3. see my first ever football match in 1965. It was Leeds<br />

vs Man United – Best, Law and Charlton – and we lost 1-0.”<br />

“The 7-0 thrashing of Southampton in 1972. As an<br />

4. awestruck Barry Davies put it in the commentary:<br />

‘And poor Southampton just don’t know what day it is.’”<br />

“Jermaine Beckford scoring the winner against Bristol<br />

5. Rovers in the final match of last season. This goal<br />

gave Leeds the crucial victory that ended their three<br />

years in the wilderness.” ML<br />

Promised Land: The Reinvention of Leeds United is in shops<br />

now. Anthony Clavane will be giving talks at Morley<br />

Literature Festival on 16 October and at Leeds Met<br />

University on 21 October. anthonyclavane.com<br />

CORK SHORTS<br />

For the past 54 years, the town of Cork<br />

has hosted a film festival every October.<br />

Showing all types of movies, from world<br />

cinema to documentaries, it’s best known<br />

for championing short films.<br />

“You need plenty of imagination to make<br />

a good short film,” says Mick Hannigan, the<br />

festival’s director. “Regardless of the limited<br />

resources available, the best shorts are more<br />

inventive than big-budget films.”<br />

Hannigan has been in charge of running the<br />

festival since 1986 and has accumulated many<br />

once-in-a-lifetime memories to look back on.<br />

“Meeting Anjelica Huston and Julien Temple<br />

last year was great fun, but nothing can beat<br />

the screening of Carl Dreyer’s The Passion of<br />

Joan of Arc with the score played by the RTE<br />

Concert Orchestra. There was a ten-minute<br />

standing ovation.”<br />

Over the seven-day festival, Cork comes<br />

to life with screenings, workshops and events<br />

EVENTS INBOUND/OUTBOUND<br />

Playback To The Future<br />

From Pong to Halo, videogames have always<br />

been about velocity. But sometimes it’s nice to<br />

stop and have a look around, and that’s what<br />

the first ever R3PLAY (pronounced “replay”)<br />

event at Blackpool’s Norbreck Castle is all about,<br />

showcasing four decades of gaming on consoles,<br />

computers and coin-op machines.<br />

1. 3D Deathchase<br />

ZX Spectrum, 1983<br />

“A blatant rip-off of the speeder<br />

bike scene in Return of the Jedi,<br />

but for a game so entertainingly<br />

frenetic to have been written in 16k<br />

is unbelievable.”<br />

2. Out Run<br />

Arcade, 1986<br />

“Who wouldn’t want to drive<br />

a convertible Ferrari? Playing this<br />

hydraulic arcade machine was the<br />

highlight of my childhood summers.”<br />

The irresistible draw for gamers will be the<br />

300 machines all set to free play – from arcade<br />

classics to cutting-edge home systems – but the<br />

two-day expo will also feature Q&As, auctions,<br />

tournaments and Guinness World Record<br />

attempts, with TV presenter and gaming fanatic<br />

Gail Porter MC-ing and all profits going to charity.<br />

THE RETRO<br />

TOP 4<br />

According to R3PLAY co-organiser Gordon<br />

Sinclair, who picks his favourite ever games<br />

below, the seaside venue is the perfect place for<br />

the event: “Blackpool has a history of fantastic<br />

arcades, so it makes sense to be here.” GV<br />

6-7 November<br />

r3play.info<br />

3. R-Type<br />

Arcade, 1987<br />

“There are a million shoot-’em-ups,<br />

but the simple addition of a power<br />

orb that could be attached to your<br />

ship made R-Type a legend.”<br />

4. Kick Off 2<br />

Amiga/Atari ST, 1990<br />

“Sensible Soccer is called the king<br />

of footie games, but it’s just an<br />

arcade kickabout. Kick Off 2 is<br />

a true football sim and there’s<br />

still a thriving fan community today.”<br />

all organised by film lovers for film lovers.<br />

Hannigan says their enthusiasm for anything<br />

celluloid shines through. “Each year our<br />

guests are delighted by the hospitality they<br />

receive and to have the support of such an<br />

engaged audience.”<br />

The city itself is the star of one of the most<br />

anticipated films on show this year, Carmel<br />

Winters’ psychological thriller Snap. GW-P<br />

INBOUND/OUTBOUND EVENTS<br />

Read All About It<br />

Ilkley Literature Festival’s poet in residence,<br />

Leeds-based Antony Dunn, drops us a line<br />

about the North’s biggest book fair<br />

“One of the privileges of being the poet in residence<br />

is that I’m allowed to invite anyone in the world to read<br />

with me. Although I had my doubts he’d say yes, I invited<br />

the Scottish poet Douglas Dunn and luckily for me he<br />

accepted. We share a surname and he looks exactly<br />

like my grandfather, but we’re not related.<br />

“The festival is loaded with fun activities. During<br />

the 17 days, I’ll be doing things non-stop – reading<br />

my poetry, hosting events, and teaching a variety of<br />

creative-writing workshops. I’ll be meeting with writers<br />

one-on-one in 30-minute sessions to help them with<br />

any problems they might have. Most writers could use<br />

a little help. I know the feeling. I’ve been told I like to<br />

use dashes between my clauses way too much.<br />

“Every year the festival hosts fringe events, which are<br />

open for anyone to audition for. We always see a variety<br />

of things including comedy skits, poetry, word jams and<br />

songs. One new event is an intergenerational workshop<br />

that will connect young teenagers with people aged 50<br />

and older to share their personal stories and discuss<br />

the role of the senses in our memories. A particularly<br />

relaxing workshop will take place outdoors on the<br />

riverbank where people will collaborate to create<br />

The Song of the River.<br />

“People who can’t make it to Ilkley can send<br />

in their poetry without attending the festival<br />

itself. I’ll be constructing a large digital map<br />

with poems posted at each person’s location,<br />

accessible via one simple click. We’ll be<br />

collating all of the poetry and creating<br />

a book to publish. There’s so much<br />

going on. You’ll have to stop by Ilkley<br />

and check it out.” EB<br />

Stranger Songs<br />

It’s fair to say that Meursault’s latest album, All<br />

Creatures Will Make Merry, isn’t for all tastes. But if you like<br />

the sound of dark, complex and emotional folk music, this<br />

might just become a new favourite. The Edinburgh band<br />

started as a solo project for Neil Pennycook and has<br />

been adding members ever since. Pennycook popped<br />

in to introduce the band…<br />

Why the name Meursault?<br />

“It’s from the book L’Etranger by Albert Camus, which<br />

I must have read a hundred times when I was a student.<br />

But there’s no real connection between my own work<br />

and Camus. I just liked the name.”<br />

Are there any bands in particular that<br />

inspired your sound?<br />

“Artists such as Neil Young and Tom Waits have inspired<br />

me over the years. I always appreciate artists who have<br />

a clear idea of themselves and who aren’t afraid to<br />

challenge their listeners, artists such as Bonnie<br />

“Prince” Billy, King Creosote and Smog.”<br />

Is Edinburgh is good place to live for<br />

people in bands?<br />

“There’s a strong sense of community with a lot of the<br />

bands, which is invaluable in terms of the level of support<br />

and encouragement you receive. Also, the audiences here<br />

are open to new things.”<br />

What can we expect from your shows?<br />

“Any number of things! Our set-up changes all the time<br />

because not all our members can play every show. And<br />

we’re also inclined to change the structures of our songs<br />

to keep things interesting.”<br />

It’s ‘Hair Meets Titus Andronicus’ – The Musical<br />

Euripides’s play The Bacchae investigates the battle<br />

between sensuality and oppression, and is by turns chilling,<br />

hilarious and prophetic, and Manchester’s Royal Exchange<br />

Theatre is about to stage a new adaptation directed by<br />

Braham Murray.<br />

Murray is an unabashed admirer of the play, calling it<br />

“one of the seminal works of theatre”, and he’s looking<br />

forward to working with choreographer Mark Bruce on<br />

this new version, which he describes, somewhat<br />

mystifyingly, as “Hair meets Titus Andronicus”.<br />

“I think it’s a hugely relevant piece for our time,” says<br />

Murray. “All the major religions deal with the sensual self<br />

as something disgusting that needs to be repressed, and if<br />

you deny the Dionysian side of yourself then you are in<br />

danger of wreaking destruction on yourself and others.”<br />

How would you describe your music<br />

to somebody who hasn’t heard it?<br />

“I struggle so much with this question. Like Bruce<br />

Springsteen once said, ‘Trying to explain music is like<br />

talking about sex – it’s better when demonstrated.’” ML<br />

Meursault plays Edinburgh, Leeds, Manchester,<br />

Newcastle, York and Paris in October and November.<br />

songbytoadrecords.com<br />

The production was a stroke of serendipity itself;<br />

Murray had wished to direct the play for some time<br />

using movement and music in a modern manner, but was<br />

unable to find a version that really excited him until<br />

playwright Mike Poulton’s updated script appeared, quite<br />

unexpectedly, on his desk.<br />

Murray promises the staging will be “contemporary but<br />

exotic”, using the playhouse architecture of the theatre to<br />

full advantage and making it seem believable that a divine<br />

figure should appear there. “The Royal Exchange is<br />

fantastic,” says Murray. “Our audiences really like going<br />

on journeys and having new experiences, and this<br />

promises to be something quite extraordinary.” AL<br />

Salford, Manchester, where Evolve is pioneering a new<br />

fitness concept for those who don’t relish feeling like<br />

a hamster on a wheel.<br />

Decked out like an assault course, this is exercise<br />

for fans of Total Wipeout. Evolve’s 500 sq m warehouse<br />

is divided into six colour-coded areas: Martial Arts<br />

(featuring punch-bags and pads), In Motion (tractor<br />

tyres, railway sleepers), Off The Ground (ropes,<br />

gymnastics rings, scaffolding), Urban Obstacles (a park<br />

bench), Balance & Stability (a seesaw, a walking pipe)<br />

and Stationary Strength (a rubber mallet, tug-of-war).<br />

Membership starts at just £30 a month.<br />

“Each of the zones works on a different aspect<br />

of fitness, from core strength to conditioning of the<br />

heart and lungs,” says Evolve’s personal trainer Daniel<br />

Fisher. “We have eight world champions in martial<br />

arts train here. The after-work crowd are coming<br />

in steadily too. They usually have a big session on<br />

their first visit then refine their workout as they<br />

get to know the equipment.” LH<br />

The Groove<br />

If you vogued in the<br />

Nineties and crumped in<br />

the Noughties, then get<br />

ready to Zumba this<br />

autumn. A slow-burner<br />

of a craze, it originated<br />

20 years ago when dance<br />

teacher and choreographer<br />

Alberto “Beto” Perez forgot<br />

his aerobics cassette and<br />

improvised with his own<br />

tunes – a cosmopolitan<br />

Latin playlist of salsa,<br />

merengue, cumbia<br />

and reggae.<br />

After finding success in<br />

Columbia, Beto took the<br />

class to the USA where<br />

two entrepreneurs, Alberto<br />

Perlman and Alberto<br />

Aghion, trademarked the<br />

technique. According to<br />

Perlman: “Zumba has<br />

always been known as the<br />

‘fitness party.’ It bridges<br />

the gap between music<br />

and fitness – a mixture<br />

of artistic expression<br />

and health.”<br />

Just ask Wyclef Jean,<br />

who crashed a Monday<br />

night Zumba class in New<br />

York this summer. The<br />

former Fugees frontman<br />

said: “The club was packed<br />

and everyone was pumped<br />

– there was so much<br />

energy. I had no idea how<br />

thrilling it was until I tried it.<br />

If you like music and you like<br />

to move, this is a good way<br />

to enjoy both.” LH<br />

Good GGood dnews news ffor for your wardrobe, d b bbut but tnot not t such hg good d<br />

news for your bank balance – the Leeds Loves Shopping<br />

festival festival returns from 15-25 October. The standout event<br />

is the Leeds Fashion Show at the City Museum, which<br />

will show ow off the bold, expressive work of the area’s<br />

top young designers. Over drinks at swanky Epernay<br />

(0113 242 9977, epernaychampagnebars.com), whic which has<br />

created a shopping-themed g-themed cocktail especially fo for this<br />

year’s event, JetAway asked four of the participating<br />

partic<br />

designers what makes them m tick.<br />

Kelly-Ann Garforth<br />

“I focused my studies on lingerie and swimwear at<br />

De Montfort University in Leicester. For this collection,<br />

I had to choose a muse and so I went for Marie Antoinette.<br />

I watched the films, read the books, and took lots of colours<br />

from her. All sorts of things have inspired me in the past,<br />

from the Space Centre in Leicester to a holiday in Egypt.<br />

“I sell my clothes in boutiques in my home town of<br />

Barnsley, and through a website called Just Catwalk<br />

(justcatwalk.co.uk). I’d like to keep working independently;<br />

hopefully the show will help push me a bit and get my<br />

brand noticed. I’d like to launch my website soon and<br />

start showing at national shows. I’m nervous about the<br />

show but very excited. It would be amazing to win.”<br />

16JetAway<br />

Jag Cor<br />

“It all started with my grandmother in Kenya who made<br />

clothes for local people. That infused into my mum’s<br />

childhood and when I was growing up she made clothes<br />

for major British companies. I grew up around clothes so<br />

it’s no surprise I ended up passionate about fashion.<br />

“At the Leeds Fashion Show I’m showing my menswear<br />

collection – it’s the purest of pure bling. Men are getting<br />

used to jazzing up their outfits and this is for them. It’s<br />

inspired by colours – the strong colours in the eyes of wild<br />

cats, and Max Lüscher’s writing on colour theory – how<br />

they reflect our personalities. Gold represents loyalty and<br />

responsibility, green is persistence and assertiveness,<br />

blue relates to peace and tranquillity, and red is<br />

excitement and enthusiasm.<br />

“I teach at Park Lane College and I see so many<br />

talented kids. There’s so much talent here in Leeds,<br />

especially in the Asian community – we need to put<br />

ourselves out there and go into mainstream fashion and<br />

the media. I was born in Leeds and studied in Leeds so this<br />

is a chance to give something back. It’s a fantastic city.”<br />

PHOTOS TIM WHITE


Darecca Stainforth<br />

“I’m usually inspired by photos and images, but this<br />

collection is inspired mostly by architecture. I went to<br />

Amsterdam and saw this building with all these 3D windows<br />

like tiles, which led to me making this skirt.<br />

“In my spare time I make dresses and sell them on eBay.<br />

I make SpongeBob SquarePants and Barbie dresses, and<br />

the money I’ve made got me through my national diploma at<br />

Leeds College of Art & Design. People all over the world<br />

buy the dresses. It’s better than a normal part-time job.<br />

“It’s an honour to participate in the Leeds Fashion<br />

Show. I’ve worked backstage at shows before, dressing<br />

models and doing various jobs, but never seen my own<br />

clothes go down the catwalk. I’ve got 13 pieces from my<br />

graduate collection ready and I’m working on six more<br />

for the competition. It’s going to be nerve-racking, but<br />

I’m hoping to get exposure and experience from it. I want<br />

to expand my brand, build a website, and then work more<br />

on my own collections.<br />

“I’d say Leeds is one of the top three UK cities for<br />

fashion, along with London and Manchester. It’s a big<br />

student city and students love fashion. A lot of students<br />

on my course would blow their whole loan on Vivienne<br />

Westwood boots and starve for the rest of the term.”<br />

Samantha Davy<br />

“This collection is inspired by British seaside holidays, the<br />

family trips you go on when you’re little. It’s very different to<br />

anything else I’ve done. In the past I’ve been inspired by<br />

fashion photographers such as Dan Martensen and Anna Wolf<br />

but I’m also into high-street fashion. While high end is great to<br />

look at, I want to design clothes lots of people will wear.<br />

“I’ve known I wanted to do this since the age of 14 or 15.<br />

I went to college in Bradford then to Manchester Met for uni<br />

where I studied fashion design and technology. The course<br />

included a year working with Puma in Germany, in a tiny town<br />

called Herzogenaurach. Now I live in Bingley and work as<br />

a designer for an outdoors company. The Leeds Fashion<br />

Show is an opportunity to work with like-minded people. It’ll<br />

be great to see what other creative people in the area are<br />

doing, and it’s a chance to get my name out there.” ML<br />

Believe The Hype<br />

Descending into Propaganda’s dark, cavernous space,<br />

surrounded by posters of smiley people exhorting the<br />

virtues of secrecy and hard work, you start to wonder:<br />

is somebody here trying to brainwash us?<br />

The photos, art, statues and signs are all taken from<br />

40 years of Czechoslovakian communism. Propaganda,<br />

one of Prague’s newest pubs, was recently opened by<br />

Glenn Spicker, who also runs the city’s Museum of<br />

Communism and has been collecting political kitsch for<br />

more than ten years. It’s a vast underground labyrinth<br />

with brick and plaster walls. The bathrooms are<br />

wallpapered in ripped-out pages from old magazines.<br />

The menu offers old-school Czech specialities, although<br />

the beer selection is something nobody living here<br />

pre-Revolution could ever have imagined: seven varieties<br />

on tap. A mix of travellers, expats and students combine<br />

to create a raucous, exciting atmosphere.<br />

In a city teeming with Starbucks, Gucci and shopping<br />

malls, there’s a feeling that people may be forgetting<br />

the recent past. “People want to see the history and<br />

they’re interested,” says Glenn. Besides, “Propaganda is<br />

a visual, fun venue.” JM<br />

CHANGE. YOU CAN.


As everyone knows, reaching the latter<br />

stages of The X Factor is no guarantee<br />

of fame, fortune and mass adulation.<br />

For every Leona Lewis or Alexandra<br />

Burke, there are 10 others who vanish headlong<br />

into obscurity (Steve Brookstein, anyone?).<br />

For Diana Vickers, things weren’t looking that<br />

promising in the aftermath of The X Factor 2008.<br />

Having been the bookies’ favourite to win, the girl<br />

described by Simon Cowell as “the singing version<br />

of Marmite” (because you’ll either love her or hate<br />

her), came fourth in the competition, which Burke<br />

eventually won. Pundits argued that Vickers was<br />

too kooky for mass appeal, singing barefoot and<br />

favouring what you might call a “natural” hairstyle.<br />

Even though she was only 17, Vickers almost<br />

seemed to have sprung from thin air as a fully formed<br />

pop star. Simon Cowell, you sensed, didn’t know<br />

what to do with her. When the show finished, he<br />

declined to offer her a record deal – which might<br />

easily have been the end of the story.<br />

Two years on, things couldn’t look rosier for the<br />

Blackburn-born songstress. After touring with her<br />

fellow X Factor performers, she was eventually offered<br />

a record deal with RCA Records. Her debut single<br />

Once entered the charts at number one in April of<br />

this year, matched a month later by her album Songs<br />

from the Tainted Cherry Tree. Meanwhile, a star turn in<br />

a West End production of The Rise and Fall of Little<br />

Voice won her the Theatregoers’ Choice Award for<br />

London Newcomer of the Year.<br />

It’s been a crazy ride for the 19 year old, a fact<br />

reflected in the video for her single, The Boy Who<br />

Murdered Love, which sees her walking down<br />

a yellow-brick road in the style of Dorothy from<br />

The Wizard of Oz. “I’ve been on an amazing journey,”<br />

she nods. “From two years ago to where I am now,<br />

from The X Factor to the record deal, to the West<br />

End, to releasing the first single and album…<br />

I’ve definitely been down the road of happiness<br />

and had an amazing time.”<br />

Vickers admits her original decision to enter<br />

The X Factor was made on a whim. At the time<br />

she was embarking on A Levels in theatre, classics<br />

and psychology, with the naively optimistic plan<br />

of getting into drama school in London, busking,<br />

making a few contacts in the business and getting<br />

a record deal (yup, that simple): “All my friends<br />

were applying for university and deciding what<br />

they were doing for their A Levels,” she recalls.<br />

“But I just wanted to have fun. I didn’t want to<br />

be sat in a classroom all day. I knew all I wanted<br />

to do with my life was to sing and be a performer.<br />

So my friends suggested that I should apply for<br />

The X Factor, and I did.”<br />

Her soulful performance of Damien Rice’s The<br />

Blower’s Daughter immediately had Vickers tipped<br />

for the top spot, and although she was eventually<br />

AUDIO VISUAL<br />

SPECTACULAR


voted off in the semifinals, she is adamant she didn’t<br />

take it too badly. “No, I was just really proud of<br />

myself,” she insists. “Because I had literally given all<br />

I could possibly give and it was amazing that there<br />

were so many people watching the show who picked<br />

up the phone and voted for me every week. Of<br />

course I got a bit upset – but I was also sort of<br />

relieved at the same time.”<br />

During the filming of The X Factor, one of the<br />

main stories was the rumoured romance between<br />

Vickers and baby-faced Irish singer Eoghan Quigg,<br />

but she insists that they were never more than friends.<br />

What about now – is she single? “No, I’m not seeing<br />

anyone at the moment,” she reveals, adding cheekily:<br />

“The only bloke I’d love to meet would be Caleb<br />

from Kings of Leon.”<br />

The persistent rumours about Quigg were, she<br />

admits, her first taste of the negative side of being<br />

in the spotlight. “Yeah, it is a downside,” she<br />

sighs. “There are a lot of made-up stories about<br />

relationships I’m meant to be having. You’ve got to<br />

be really careful who you talk to and what you do in<br />

public. That can be really hard for me because I’m<br />

such a huggy person and I’ve got so many male<br />

friends. It can be quite frustrating.”<br />

One way of dealing with any emotionally<br />

challenging experiences she encounters is to write<br />

about them, as she did with her second single The<br />

Boy Who Murdered Love. Indeed, even though she<br />

seems to be bubbly and full of self-confidence, Vickers<br />

admits she can be racked with doubt and used to<br />

throw up with nerves before going on stage during<br />

The X Factor. In spite of her army of male admirers<br />

(not to mention the female fans who nominated her<br />

for Best Dressed Woman of the Year at the Clothes<br />

Show Style Awards <strong>2010</strong>), she confesses to still<br />

worrying about spots and puppy fat.<br />

“I think we all have our insecurities, so although<br />

a lot of the time I feel quite confident about myself,<br />

I’m only human and sometimes it’s hard to deal with<br />

those insecurities – especially when you’re in the<br />

newspaper all the time. I used to have really, really bad<br />

acne a couple of years ago. I used to cover up my face<br />

with my hair I was so self-conscious. I’m getting a lot<br />

more confident in myself now, slowly but surely, but<br />

I think that’s something that comes with age.”<br />

Vickers’ formative years were spent in Lancashire.<br />

She was born in Blackburn and grew up in the<br />

village of Huncoat near Accrington. Her mother,<br />

Ann, is a manager at Marks & Spencer in Blackburn<br />

and her father, Edwin, an independent financial<br />

consultant. Even though she now lives in a two-<br />

‘There are a lot of made-up<br />

stories about relationships<br />

I’m meant to be having’<br />

bedroom flat in South London, Vickers will always<br />

have a special place in her heart for the North.<br />

“I’m a down-to-earth Lancashire lass and I’m<br />

proud of it,” she laughs. “I really miss walking into<br />

Maccy D’s on a Saturday to get a milkshake and<br />

seeing all the people stood outside, then going into<br />

M&S to see my mum on her lunch break and having<br />

a coffee with her. I love London, but I know my<br />

roots – and my friends are my friends for life.”<br />

Those roots came in especially handy at the end<br />

of last year when Vickers was offered the lead in Little<br />

Voice, a part made famous on stage and screen by<br />

fellow Lancastrian Jane Horrocks. So what does the<br />

future hold for Diana Vickers – treading the boards or<br />

rocking the mic? “I love acting,” she says. “I absolutely<br />

adore it – and I’d love to do a lot more in the future.<br />

But right now music’s my main thing. Having<br />

a number one single and album – I have no words<br />

to describe how I feel about it. I’m so proud. At the<br />

end of the day, all I’ve ever wanted to be is a singer.”<br />

Diana Vickers is on tour in October and November.<br />

She performs at Leeds University (2 October), Manchester<br />

Academy 2 (8 November), 02 Academy Newcastle<br />

(13 November) and 02 ABC Glasgow (14 November)<br />

BIG BROTHER<br />

VO CE<br />

Over & Out<br />

Big Brother’s Geordie mouthpiece Marcus Bentley is hanging up his mike, but<br />

not before telling Lucille Howe about his hometown’s greatest talking points<br />

It’s impossible to imagine Big Brother without<br />

Marcus Bentley’s commentary. For ten years<br />

he was the voice of the show, and this summer<br />

he appeared onscreen for the first time. Now, we<br />

can finally put a face to the name of the man who<br />

was originally hired for the way he said the word<br />

“chickens”. With Big Brother having finally<br />

finished, we dragged him to the diary room<br />

for one last interrogation.<br />

“I started doing voiceovers in 1998 after drama<br />

school and bought myself a recordable MiniDisc<br />

player,” Bentley explains when asked how he began<br />

his career. “After a few bad years I remember getting<br />

a cheque for a job and going from skint to £3,000<br />

up. I thought, ‘Wow, that’s loads!’”<br />

When casting for an omniscient narrator, the<br />

Big Brother producers listened to hundreds of<br />

applications. Trawling through piles of cassettes<br />

they finally hit on Bentley’s Geordie brogue.<br />

“When I got the call for BB I’d moved back to<br />

the northeast from London to teach drama at<br />

Stockton and Billingham Technical College,”<br />

says Bentley. “We packed up and moved back<br />

to London for what we were told would be nine<br />

weeks filming. Ten years later…”<br />

So what was it like to finally make it on set (and<br />

onscreen), commentating next to the contestants in<br />

a bid to get their attention during BB11’s “Ignore<br />

the Obvious” week?<br />

“When I first started, people asked me to go on<br />

a lot of things like Big Brother’s Little Brother and<br />

I said no, but being the last in the series I decided<br />

I’d be up for anything. I’m such a big fan I had to<br />

take a deep breath and walk on set like I was<br />

walking on stage,” says Bentley. “I got into bed<br />

with Ben and they tried to embarrass me by<br />

talking about whips!”<br />

After Bentley answers the door to a gift of some<br />

30 Rock DVDs from a Channel 4 commissioning<br />

editor, talk turns to his beloved northeast. “I was<br />

born in Gateshead and then I lived in a few places as<br />

a teenager, including Newcastle. Now I have some<br />

time off I’d like to take my children up there to<br />

some of my favourite places.” With that in mind,<br />

we asked Bentley to give us his picks for a weekend<br />

in Newcastle. Just don’t expect chickens…

BRADFORD CURRY<br />

30JetAway<br />

Dragging my<br />

heavy body<br />

through the lobby, up<br />

the stairs, down the corridor and<br />

into my hotel room, I realised you can have<br />

too much of a good thing. Curry in Bradford is<br />

a very good thing indeed, especially when there’s<br />

free-flowing mango lassi to wash it down with.<br />

But as I unbuckled my belt, which over the course<br />

of the evening had turned a gentle hug into an<br />

aggressive grip, I wondered if eating five meals, one<br />

after the other, had been slightly over-ambitious.<br />

While my eyes are frequently larger than my<br />

stomach, there was more to the JetAway curry<br />

challenge than just senseless gluttony, although<br />

I can’t deny senseless gluttony was a large part of<br />

the appeal. Bradford is competing to be the UK’s<br />

Curry Capital 2011, and if there’s any justice it’ll<br />

win at a canter. Aside from the wonderful food<br />

and the loss of mobility, an evening of feasting<br />

in Bradford is a chance to hear inspiring stories<br />

of immigration and enterprise in one of Europe’s<br />

most diverse cities.<br />

extolling her home town’s<br />

virtues as a foodie destination, she<br />

drove us to our first stop, Akbar’s on Leeds Road<br />

(01274 773311, akbars.co.uk).<br />

Fifteen years ago, Akbar’s was a tiny 28-seater<br />

restaurant. Today it fits 250 people and is one of<br />

many branches across northern England. Starters<br />

fill every inch of our table: a chicken tikka kebab,<br />

lamb chops and masala fish, all bursting with<br />

flavour. The main courses are even better: the<br />

karahi chicken zings with garlic, ginger and<br />

coriander; the meat in the lamb and spinach curry<br />

falls apart at the gentlest prod of my fork, and the<br />

naan bread is so enormous, warm and fluffy it’s<br />

tempting to roll up in it and use it as a duvet.<br />

I break away from the feast to speak to Shabir<br />

Hussain, Akbar’s founder, in his office. He starts by<br />

telling me about his family home on the border of<br />

Kashmir and the Punjab. “My mother’s cooking<br />

was really rustic and wholesome,” he says, “and this<br />

is what I wanted to eat. I didn’t understand why<br />

English restaurants were only cooking what they<br />

thought the Western palate wants – madras and<br />

vindaloo. People were ready for what we really eat<br />

and that became my niche.”<br />

With two-thirds of the naan left uneaten, we had<br />

to make our excuses and leave. Tricia drove us in

the direction of Pudsey and pulled over next to<br />

a giant elephant. It marked the entrance to the<br />

Midpoint branch of Aagrah (01274 668818, aagrah.<br />

com), where Mohammed Aslam, its executive chef<br />

and managing director, was waiting to greet us.<br />

“I came here from Kashmir at the age of 14<br />

and I was illiterate,” Aslam tells me while Tim<br />

photographs the stunning tandoori seafood he’s<br />

made for us. “I had no education at all,” he<br />

continues. “I went to school for ten months and<br />

then started work at a textile mill. That was 1968.”<br />

He was part of the family team that opened<br />

the first branch of Aagrah in 1977. Remarkably,<br />

five of those original seven members are still<br />

working for the company, which has grown<br />

enormously, with 12 branches scattered throughout<br />

the county. “It’s always been a family business and<br />

a Yorkshire business,” explains Aslam, who was<br />

awarded an MBA last Christmas in recognition<br />

of his work in the hospitality industry.<br />

After our chat, I attack the buffet, filling my<br />

plate high with chicken hyderabadi, fish masala<br />

and saag gosht (lamb with spinach sauce). Heaped<br />

on rice and scooped up with naan, this union of<br />

coriander, garlic, ginger and chilli gets my mouth<br />

tingling and tickling all the way to Great Horton<br />

Road, where the ever-popular Mumtaz (01274<br />

571861) is located.


“We serve the best curry in the world,” boasts<br />

the duty manager who shows us round. It’s a bold<br />

statement, but how many other restaurants can<br />

claim both the Queen and David Cameron as fans?<br />

It’s quite an achievement for a restaurant that<br />

started life as a tiny space where Mumtaz Khan<br />

Akbar, originally from Kashmir, sold his mother’s<br />

samosas and pakoras. Before long, Khan was<br />

developing his own recipes, one of which, the<br />

mango lassi, is now available worldwide. Today,<br />

Mumtaz has a Leeds branch, five fast-food Jaldi<br />

Jaldi eateries, and it produces curry sauces, lassis,<br />

marinades and baby foods for supermarkets.<br />

It’s not a sense of civic or patriotic duty that<br />

has me backing Dave and Her Maj – the food is<br />

spectacularly good. The meal here includes my<br />

favourite dish of the evening, a stunning murgh<br />

makhani (butter chicken). It’s not a million miles<br />

away from a chicken tikka masala, but the flavours<br />

are so much more subtle and complex. Since we’re<br />

at the spiritual home of mango lassi, we allow<br />

It’s tempting to use the naan<br />

bread as a duvet it’s so enormous<br />

ourselves to guzzle vast quantities of it. If we<br />

weren’t full before, we certainly are now.<br />

When we arrive at Omar Khan’s (01274 390 777,<br />

omarkhans.co.uk) and see seven dishes laid out for<br />

us, we exchange concerned glances. Mr Khan is<br />

out of town, which means I can’t even use a hectic<br />

interview schedule as an excuse for not eating. So,<br />

I get stuck in to pakoras, pilau rice, a chicken tikka<br />

masala, a creamy paneer (cheese) dish and the best<br />

saag aloo (potato and spinach curry) I’ve ever had.<br />

The food is more Westernised than at the other<br />

restaurants, and the clientele is less mixed. We’re<br />

impressed, but we’re also beyond full. The thought<br />

of going to another restaurant fills us with dread.<br />

We needn’t have worried. Despite its sparse,<br />

simple decor, there’s something special about<br />

Karachi (01274 732015), the first Asian restaurant<br />

to arrive in Bradford. Since opening in 1963 in<br />

a converted terraced house on Neal Street, it’s<br />

barely changed at all. It’ll never attract royals,<br />

but Rick Stein filmed a BBC show here once, and<br />

the staff still talk excitedly about that day. They<br />

seem thrilled by our visit, too, and let us into the<br />

kitchen to watch our meal being prepared up close.<br />

By the time we’d seen Khalid Mahmood prepare<br />

lamb and fish karahis, and his colleague bake<br />

fresh, feather-light chapattis over an open flame,<br />

we had a duty to relish every last bite of this<br />

glorious food, damn the consequences.<br />

And, oh yes, there were consequences. But this<br />

isn’t about my waistline or my temporary inability<br />

to negotiate a staircase. It’s about Bradford’s<br />

proud culinary heritage, and the entrepreneurial<br />

immigrants – who often arrived not knowing<br />

how to read or write – who helped create it.<br />

Bradford is up against Birmingham, Glasgow<br />

and Leicester – all formidable contenders – for the<br />

title of Curry Capital of the UK. We’re biased,<br />

naturally, but if Bradford doesn’t win we won’t only<br />

eat our hats – we’ll eat at double the number of<br />

restaurants on our next trip.<br />

From Plaguey Hills to<br />

gruesome dungeons,<br />

Graeme Virtue and<br />

James Bartlett<br />

investigate Europe’s<br />

spookiest spots<br />

Friar’s Bush Belfast<br />

From the outside, you’d never know that this<br />

tiny, peaceful cemetery had so many horrendous<br />

tales hidden within its walls. But ask a guide for the<br />

story behind the name and you’ll get a hint of the<br />

grisliness to come. According to legend, a friar<br />

was caught secretly performing Catholic mass<br />

under the spidery thorn bush. He was captured<br />

and hung in the 1720s.<br />

A century later, Friar’s Bush became a regular spot<br />

for body-snatchers, and in 1823 newspapers reported<br />

the discovery of a recently disinterred woman and<br />

her child found packed in a barrel at the city docks.<br />

Then there’s what’s known as the Plaguey Hill,<br />

where thousands of cholera victims from an 1832<br />

outbreak share a mass grave with 800 victims of the<br />

1840s great famine. The nastiness didn’t even ease<br />

up in the 20th century. Servant girls and secret<br />

mistresses used to throw their babies – both alive<br />

and dead – over the walls of Friar’s Bush to avoid<br />

punishment and scandal.<br />

It’s not all doom and gloom though. The Bush is<br />

also home to the graves of some thoroughly decent<br />

Belfastians who had nothing to do with murder,<br />

body-snatching or executions. Barney Hughes, the<br />

celebrated inventor of the Belfast “penny bap”<br />

sandwich, is buried here. But before you casually<br />

tuck into a crusty bread roll, bear in mind that<br />

ghouls may be picking up the crumbs.<br />

Gerry Ward, a tour guide who lives in the<br />

cemetery’s arched gate lodge, tells of a gravedigger’s<br />

O C T O B E R / N O V E M B E R<br />

wife who has haunted the site since her death in<br />

the 15th century. Local historian and guide Dr<br />

Eamon Phoenix describes Friar’s Bush as a “deeply<br />

atmospheric place” and says the mass famine grave<br />

and mysterious Friar’s Stone, a relic dating back to<br />

485AD, are stark “reminders of our own mortality,<br />

as well as the tragic events of Irish history”.<br />

Pere Lachaise Cemetery Paris<br />

The alluring City Of Light also has a dark side.<br />

And if anywhere in Paris is genuinely haunted, it’s<br />

Père Lachaise Cemetery, a graveyard on the eastern<br />

edge of the city where more than a million bodies<br />

have been buried since 1804. Named after Louis<br />

XIV’s Jesuit confessor, this sprawling necropolis can<br />

claim to be the most notorious in the world thanks<br />

to an honour roll of luminaries who checked in after<br />

they checked out, including Molière, former French<br />

President Félix Faure, Oscar Wilde, Edith Piaf and<br />

Jim Morrison. The well-signposted graves of these<br />

expired A-listers may be crowded with devotees, but<br />

it’s still easy to lose yourself among the 100 acres of<br />

tombs, sepulchres and mausoleums – an eerie garden<br />

of remembrance where sooty ravens hop among the<br />

headstones. Brrrr.<br />

No trip to Holland’s capital is complete without a visit to the Rembrandt House<br />

Museum, where one can truly appreciate the Dutch master’s life and work. But<br />

it was under the very same roof that the revered artist began his persecution<br />

of family nanny (and lover) Geertje Dircx. Rembrandt lobbied to have poor<br />

Geertje committed to the madhouse after an unfortunate series of events<br />

involving the family jewels. Her tragic story – or at least a heightened version<br />

of it – can be experienced at the Amsterdam Dungeons, part of a growing<br />

(Addams) family of such attractions across Europe. Within these dank walls,<br />

many of Amsterdam’s more grisly historical episodes are retold in cheerfully<br />

lurid fashion, including a Reaper thrill ride. This, of course, is the city that’s<br />

always made its living out of monetising sin.<br />

As Curtis Mayfield put it, if there’s a hell below, we’re all going to go. But how<br />

hearses situated, perhaps appropriately, in the basement of the civic Servais<br />

Funerais de Barcelona. Focusing on the late 19th and early 20th centuries, the<br />

museum respectfully showcases various ornate horse-drawn carriages, each<br />

burnished with the iconography of death, from Greek alpha/omega symbols<br />

to weeping angels, ominous hourglasses and owls. Lots of owls. There’s also<br />

a sleek, covetable motorised hearse that has more than a touch of the<br />

Ghostbusters’ Ecto-1 about it. The message seems to be: you can have<br />

any colour you like, so long as it’s black.<br />

When Emma Gregg met the prince of whales on a boat trip in<br />

the Canary Islands it was (underwater) love at first sight<br />

Dad, do you think we’ll see a humpback whale?” enquires the small boy at<br />

my elbow in a singsong voice. The man beside him looks distinctly weary.<br />

I’m guessing this is not the first time he’s been asked. “They can grow to<br />

35,000 kilos! Dad, do you think we’ll see a blue whale? It might be 33 metres long!<br />

That’s bigger than this whole boat! Dad…”<br />

The truth, I suspect, is that this hapless father isn’t entirely sure what we’ll see.<br />

I gather that taking his son out on a whale-watching boat trip during their holiday<br />

to Tenerife was his wife’s idea. She was hoping they might at least see some dolphins.<br />

But he’s sceptical. This is Tenerife, after all, not Baja California. Not the Bahamas.<br />

Not – where did Flipper live? – Florida.<br />

I, however, am feeling quietly confident. You see, I’ve already done a little<br />

homework. Lanzarote, another of the Canary Islands, is home to the Museo de<br />

Cetáceos de Canarias (museodecetaceos.org), a delightful little place devoted to the<br />

whales, dolphins and porpoises of this section of the Atlantic. The last time I was<br />

there, I dropped in. The skeleton of a Bryde’s whale, mounted like a sculpture,<br />

marks the entrance. Inside, there are bones and teeth to handle, life-sized models<br />

to admire and, best of all, whale songs to listen to.<br />

Thanks to the MCC, I know that the Canary<br />

Islands are home to a remarkably high concentration<br />

of cetacean species, some of them rather rare. Two<br />

species, short-finned pilot whales and bottlenose<br />

dolphins, are resident here all year round. They’re wild,<br />

but each pod sticks to a surprisingly small area, so it’s<br />

generally pretty easy to find them.<br />

Oddly enough for an island with a whale museum,<br />

Lanzarote doesn’t have any whale-watching spots of<br />

its own. To be sure of catching a glimpse of a fluke<br />

or a fin in these parts you have to sail the channel<br />

between Tenerife and its neighbour, La Gomera. And<br />

when I say sure, I mean sure. The boat captains based<br />

at Puerto Colón in southern Tenerife guarantee<br />

a sighting on every single trip.<br />

As our boat pulls out of Puerto Colón, one of my<br />

companions gets out his binoculars. Immediately my<br />

confidence takes a knock. I’ve forgotten mine. I sidle<br />

up to the onboard guide to ask if I can borrow some.<br />

“Sorry, I don’t have any spares,” she says. “But don’t<br />

worry, you’ll see fine without them!”<br />

WHALE WATCHING<br />

Pilot whales patrol this<br />

sheltered channel like<br />

fat lions in the Serengeti<br />

A fellow whale watcher in a Chelsea shirt overhears<br />

and I see his eyes light up at the promise of a close<br />

encounter with a massive marine mammal. By now,<br />

it’s clear our captain has spotted something in the<br />

distance and is propelling us straight towards it. The<br />

channel is calm, with not even a fleck of white on<br />

the waves. We scan the surface but see nothing.<br />

“There!” yells my friend with the binoculars. Still,<br />

we see nothing. Then, suddenly, there’s a whale right<br />

beside us. “What? That?” says Chelsea shirt, rather<br />

dismayed. “Is that it?” I feel for him, I really do. He<br />

clearly climbed aboard with high expectations. So, if<br />

you too are thinking of indulging in a little highoctane<br />

whale watching on your next visit to<br />

Tenerife, here’s a quick reality check.<br />

You know those really dramatic-looking photos of<br />

whale-watching trips, where the boat is dwarfed by<br />

a gigantic, muscular tail? On Tenerife, it’s not quite like<br />

that. The whales you’re most likely to see are not blue<br />

whales, the mighty beasts which roam the Pacific off<br />

Baja California; nor are they humpbacks, like the<br />

ones that migrate up the east coast of Australia.<br />

The commonest whale around here is the humble<br />

short-finned pilot whale. If you see one that’s over<br />

four metres long, you’re doing well.<br />

In fact, short-finned pilot whales resemble dolphins<br />

in many ways, but – how shall I put this – they’re not<br />

quite as pretty. Imagine, if you can, a creature with<br />

the lithe body of a dolphin but the bulbous head of<br />

a cartoon octopus, and you’ll have a good idea of what<br />

this ocean-going oddity looks like. To my mind, their<br />

weird appearance makes them uniquely appealing. But<br />

then I’ve always been one to champion the underdog,<br />

or, in this case, the underdolphin.<br />

But looks aren’t everything. Pilot whales have<br />

plenty of character, and, luckily for the Canarian<br />

whale-watching trade, they seem to like showing off<br />

in front of boatloads of tourists. In fact, if some bright<br />

spark ran auditions for an aquatic edition of Tenerife’s<br />

Got Talent, these pilot whales would be first in line.<br />

Happily, the pilots we’ve just encountered are pulling<br />

out all the stops to give us a good show. They swim<br />

right up to the boat so we can admire their elegant<br />

bodies and, er, amusing-looking heads, and then reveal<br />

their trump card – a bouncing baby with a too-coolfor-this-school<br />

smirk on its chubby face. Even Chelsea<br />

shirt adopts a soppy look and says, “Aaaaah!” in<br />

a genuinely melting tone.<br />

Now that we’re all thoroughly intrigued, our guide<br />

kicks into overdrive, filling us in on everything we<br />

should know about the species. These sociable<br />

cetaceans, we discover, patrol this sheltered channel like<br />

fat lions in the Serengeti. For squid-lovers like them,<br />

the pickings are so rich and the temperature so perfect<br />

NEW YORK IN PARIS<br />

Studio W<br />

The Marais is full of vintage shops but none are<br />

quite as exquisite as William Moricet’s Studio W,<br />

where even the golden retriever that sleeps among<br />

the merchandise is well groomed. Like a precious<br />

jewellery box, it’s stuffed with couture treasures<br />

in perfect condition – with prices to match. If<br />

you can’t quite stretch to an Yves Saint Laurent<br />

or Courrèges dress, check out the wonderful bags,<br />

shoes and belts, with crocodile, snakeskin and<br />

patent leather much in evidence. There’s lots of<br />

costume jewellery too – Carrie Bradshaw and co<br />

Early Evening Pampering<br />

Spa Nuxe<br />

A few years ago day spas started to spring up in<br />

Paris, bringing pampering out of the rarefied world<br />

of the palace hotels and offering a more convivial<br />

atmosphere than the type of pink-hued corner<br />

beautician’s shop portrayed in the Audrey Tautou<br />

film Venus Beauty Institute. Nuxe is the perfect place<br />

The coffee is sublime, and suffuses the<br />

to spend an afternoon, with lovely sofas to lounge<br />

on between treatments, a double treatment room<br />

and a manicure section where you can sit side by<br />

side and chat. Many of the practitioners here speak<br />

English. The new spa, right next door to the<br />

original one at 32 rue Montorgueil, is similarly<br />

housed in stone vaults and includes a pool for<br />

relaxation treatments sunk into the stone. Nuxe<br />

only uses its own luxurious plant-based products,<br />

and its facials, which involve undressing completely,<br />

begin with a short foot, tummy and neck massage<br />

for total relaxation.<br />

Pre-Dinner Drinks<br />

Experimental Cocktail Club<br />

Three visionary Frenchmen, Romée, Pierre and<br />

Olivier, had a hunch that what Paris needed was<br />

a New York-style cocktail bar offering serious<br />

mixology outside the often stuffy hotel bars. They<br />

went to New York to study with its finest barmen,<br />

48JetAway<br />

then came back and opened the Experimental<br />

Cocktail Club in 2007. Now they have two other<br />

bars on the Left Bank as well. In ECC’s intimate,<br />

speakeasy atmosphere, you can perch at the bar and<br />

watch the masters at work or sink into comfy chairs<br />

at the back. Rare spirits, sourced from all over the<br />

world, are the basis of their cocktails, which cost<br />

half of what you’ll pay at the Plaza Athénée and are<br />

perfection in a glass.<br />

this bar/restaurant on top of the Centre Pompidou<br />

never goes out of fashion. The vast space, designed<br />

SPANISH GOLF<br />

52JetAway<br />

CLUB<br />

CLASS<br />

As Spain enjoys its moment in the sun as<br />

Europe’s top-flight teeing off spot, Neil Squires<br />

salutes Andalucía’s Costa del Golf<br />

It’s a contradictory fact that while<br />

English golf has never had it so good<br />

– at the height of the summer there<br />

were as many Englishmen in the world’s<br />

top ten as Americans – English golf courses<br />

have rarely had it so bad. England may be<br />

able to produce high-class players such as<br />

Lee Westwood and Paul Casey but when<br />

it comes to staging big tournaments, it<br />

remains something of a backwater.<br />

If you want to see top golf in Europe,<br />

there is only one place to be: Spain, which<br />

hosts six European Tour events this year<br />

compared to England’s one.<br />

The climate is a factor, with the Spanish<br />

sunshine allowing events at the time of<br />

year when English courses are reverting to<br />

bogs. Surprisingly, hard cash is another.<br />

The golf economy has bucked the harsh<br />

downturn in Spain, with public and private<br />

backing keeping prize funds buoyant.<br />

A cool £8.5m is on offer at Spain’s<br />

European Tour events this season. Luke<br />

Donald, the winner of the Madrid Masters,<br />

and Open champion Louis Oosthuizen,<br />

who triumphed at the Andalucía Open,<br />

have already bolstered their bank accounts<br />

significantly but the biggest winner’s cheque<br />

awaits at the end of the new Andalucía<br />

Masters in October. It’s a much-anticipated<br />

debut, as it will herald the return of the<br />

evocative name of Valderrama to the<br />

European Tour itinerary.<br />

The course they call “Europe’s Augusta”<br />

was the venue for the 1997 Ryder Cup and<br />

home to the season-ending Volvo Masters<br />

at which the European number one was<br />

crowned for 21 years. Regally assembled<br />

by the renowned course designer Robert<br />

Trent Jones, it was a fitting venue for such<br />

a coronation. That was until it fell victim<br />

to the European Tour’s lucrative deal

champion Graeme McDowell<br />

with Dubai in 2009, which shifted the climax of<br />

what was the Order of Merit to the desert and<br />

rebranded it the Race to Dubai.<br />

The Volvo Masters is no more, but thankfully<br />

Valderrama lives on in its new guise. Following on<br />

from the Castelló Masters in Valencia, it will be the<br />

last tournament of the year on the European Tour’s<br />

home continent before the caravan moves on to the<br />

Far East and then Dubai for November’s seasonending<br />

finale, won last year by Westwood after<br />

a thrilling head to head with the boy wonder from<br />

Northern Ireland, Rory McIlroy.<br />

This year’s scrap looks like going down to the<br />

wire, with Westwood’s defence handicapped by<br />

a calf injury which forced him to miss the season’s<br />

last major, the USPGA Championship, at the end of<br />

August. Westwood, along with many of Europe’s<br />

elite, will be in action at the Andalucía Masters,<br />

chasing a £2.5m prize fund and valuable points in<br />

the Race to Dubai.<br />

The contest is an imperfect one in that the<br />

combatants generally play different numbers of<br />

tournaments. Golfers remain free agents who can<br />

ply their trade all over the world, unlike, say,<br />

football teams who are committed to a single<br />

league. But the chance to add their name to<br />

SPANISH GOLF<br />

a list that includes Seve Ballesteros, Sir Nick Faldo<br />

and Padraig Harrington still exerts a pull.<br />

Graeme McDowell’s season may have been made<br />

by winning the US Open in June – an achievement<br />

which brought a walk-on part in the hit TV show<br />

Entourage – but the Northern Irishman still<br />

desperately wants to be crowned Europe’s number<br />

one. “The Race to Dubai is important to me and<br />

I want to do as well as I can in it so I’m playing as<br />

many events as I can. I’ll be at Valderrama – it’s one<br />

of my very favourite courses and I’m so glad it’s<br />

back on the schedule,” he says.<br />

The Andalucía Open was continental Europe’s<br />

first tournament on the <strong>2010</strong> calendar back in<br />

March, and so the Costa del Golf will be providing<br />

the bookends to the season this year. It’s part of<br />

a direct government strategy to boost Andalucía’s<br />

international profile, and while spending money<br />

on rich golfers is a controversial marketing policy<br />

in tough times, the power brokers are certain that<br />

it will eventually pay off.<br />

“We have been working together to bring back<br />

a truly great European Tour event to our region<br />

Jet2.com 55


SPANISH GOLF<br />

and to bring the recognition that Andalucía<br />

deserves with an international competition of the<br />

highest quality,” says Andalucía’s tourism head<br />

Luciano Alonso. “The national and international<br />

exposure that the Andalucía Masters will bring<br />

to our region will show our support of this event<br />

is a worthwhile investment and will have a very<br />

positive economic impact on our region.”<br />

The logic is that where Westwood and his pals<br />

go, plenty of others will follow – particularly from<br />

Britain. Not everyone can manage to grab tee time<br />

at Valderrama but the area has a wealth of other fine<br />

courses such as Sotogrande, San Roque and La<br />

Reserva. And they can all be played in the autumn<br />

without 15 layers of clothing restricting your swing.<br />

This is the part of the world where Miguel Angel<br />

Jimenez, the one Spaniard to play in this year’s<br />

European Ryder Cup team, learned his uniquely<br />

relaxed approach to the game. The cigar-chewing,<br />

cool cat from Malaga, who played in his fourth<br />

Ryder Cup at Celtic Manor, is one of the<br />

ambassadors behind Spain’s bid to stage the<br />

next home face-off with the USA in 2018.<br />

“Valderrama in 1997 was the first time the Ryder<br />

Cup had been played away from the UK and it<br />

would be fantastic to host the Ryder Cup in Spain<br />

again in 2018,” says Jimenez, an assistant captain to<br />

Ballesteros 13 years ago. “I really believe Spain has<br />

all the qualities to be a great Ryder Cup destination<br />

with lots of great young players coming through<br />

such as Alvaro Quiros, Pablo Larrazabal, Pablo<br />

The proposed venue is currently a series of fields<br />

also a design on a drawing board when it was<br />

awarded the <strong>2010</strong> event, the bid team are confident<br />

they will win the vote next April.<br />

Not for the weak of heart (or eardrum), Fallas is<br />

to sacrifice a real wren because it had the temerity<br />

to sing in mid-winter. Tough crowd. Further<br />

accusations include betraying St Stephen (he was<br />

Battle Of The Oranges<br />

Ivrea, Turin (100km from Milan), 13-16 February<br />

Like Spain’s Tomatina, but more painful if/when<br />

you get hit, Italy’s biggest food fight sees people pelt<br />

the living pith out of each other in celebration of<br />

the ousting of 12th-century tyrant Raineri di<br />

Biandrate, who forced himself on a beautiful<br />

miller’s daughter called Violetta only for her<br />

to decapitate him. After a torchlit procession<br />

celebrating Violetta’s pluck, local teams (called<br />

aranceri) face off against each other in organised<br />

battles intended to evoke the ensuing rebellion.<br />

brushes in protest against the male-dominated<br />

proceedings, the event sees women in fancy dress<br />

running riot, cutting off men’s ties and bestowing<br />

whomsoever they wish with a butzie (“festival


kiss”). The phallic symbology continues on<br />

Rosenmontagzug (“rose Monday”), when the<br />

leaders of a huge parade (including the Jungfrau, or<br />

“virgin”, usually a man in drag) hand out sweets,<br />

chocolates and sausages. Paging Dr Freud.<br />

Visit the pretty Catalan town of Valls on any of the<br />

certifiable) people standing on each other’s<br />

shoulders to form castells (er, “castles”), some of<br />

which reach as high as 10 storeys (13m). Organised<br />

by castellers, these inhuman pyramids are thought<br />

to have originated from 17th-century dances,<br />

O C T O B E R / N O V E M B E R<br />

although quite how they graduated from toetapping<br />

to sky-scraping is anybody’s guess.<br />

Apparently, the motto of the castellers is “strength,<br />

balance, courage and reason”, although the latter<br />

seems to be in short supply.<br />

Haxey, Lincolnshire (60km from Leeds),<br />

One of England’s oldest traditions, and almost<br />

Game Of The Bridge<br />

Pisa, last Sunday in June<br />

Every year, the usually peaceable residents of Pisa<br />

gather at the pretty Ponte di Mezzo, the town’s<br />

oldest Roman bridge, for this centuries-old<br />

celebration. To the uninitiated (ie most of us),<br />

this is essentially a mass, backwards tug-of-war<br />

in which teams from north and south of the river<br />

Arno, dressed in medieval finery, try to push<br />

a seven-tonne carriage at each other. Though some<br />

suggest it was started by Pelops, the Greek founder<br />

of Pisa, to recall his native Olympics, the only<br />

things we know for sure are a) the tradition dates<br />

back to 1568, b) it’s completely, ahem, ponte-less,<br />

and c) it really does take all sorts.<br />

Christmas fairs can cheer up even the most cynical of Scrooges, so why not glam<br />

up your seasonal shopping with a Jet2.com Yuletide break? Kathryn Miller reports<br />

The first recorded Christmas market was held in Dresden in 1434 and<br />

the tradition soon spread through cities, towns and villages across<br />

Europe faster than Santa’s sleigh. Festive markets selling handmade<br />

one-offs have since become an integral part of the holiday season. And who<br />

wouldn’t want to swap the bustle of a hectic high street with a visit to a market<br />

reflecting the character of its host nation?<br />

Twinkling lights on a tree in a pretty cobbled square, carol singers, cute<br />

wooden huts selling their wares, the tantalising aroma of mulled wine and<br />

roasting chestnuts, children riding a merry-go-round… Europe’s Christmas<br />

markets are enchanting, convivial and a great excuse to explore a new city,<br />

pick up unusual stocking fillers and take a reviving break. Just remember to<br />

pack a warm hat and gloves.

Belfast<br />

Christmas is time for celebrating, and the Irish are renowned for their party<br />

spirit, so expect a good dose of Irish hospitality throughout Advent. Belfast’s<br />

globally themed Christmas market is suitably charming and friendly. Set in<br />

the beautiful City Hall Gardens, there are stalls from 30 countries including<br />

exotic offerings from Europe, America and South America. For youngsters<br />

there’s Father Christmas; for grown-ups there’s mulled wine and bratwursts<br />

to devour. Afterwards, you can enjoy a pint of the black stuff in the cosy<br />

Bittles Bar on Victoria Square.<br />

Don’t go home without: Linen and tweed.<br />

Barcelona<br />

Spain’s second largest city has a vibrant year-round<br />

atmosphere, so expect festive markets, parades and<br />

nativity scenes. There’s unlikely to be any snow<br />

in December, though it can get a bit chilly – night<br />

temperatures average 7-15˚C. The city’s biggest<br />

Christmas market is the Fira de Santa Llúcia,<br />

which takes place in front of the impressive<br />

Barcelona Cathedral. It’s been running since<br />

1786 and has more than 300 stalls – religious<br />

decorations are popular purchases. Look out for<br />

the caganer (“crapper”), a bizarre nativity figurine<br />

of a squatting boy relieving himself. Also worth<br />

a look is the smaller Fira de Nadal a la Sagrada<br />

Familia, outside Gaudí’s unfinished church.<br />

Don’t go home without: Turrón, a mix of honey,<br />

sugar and egg white topped with toasted almonds.<br />

Amsterdam<br />

Amsterdam, one of Europe’s most relaxed and<br />

cosmopolitan cities, has many draws: a thriving<br />

international art scene; docklands that have<br />

been rejuvenated with designer buildings;<br />

tree-lined canals; a relaxed and eclectic range<br />

of restaurants; and an abundance of coffee shops.<br />

In the Netherlands, children receive presents on<br />

St Nicholas’s Day, on 6 December. There are<br />

various myths surrounding the good saint, but it’s<br />

widely believed that he lived in southern Europe<br />

during the third century. Kind and generous, Saint<br />

Nick is remembered every year on the anniversary<br />

of his death. Follow his lead at a seasonal market<br />

– try the large, colourful one on the pedestrianised<br />

Albert Cuypstraat in the Latin quarter.<br />

Don’t go home without: Oliebollen – deep-fried<br />

Dutch doughnuts.<br />

Prague<br />

Whatever the season, a stroll beneath Prague’s<br />

spires and across Charles Bridge is romantic and<br />

memorable. In winter, when it dazzles with<br />

a million lights, the city is even more special. There<br />

are four markets, all within walking distance of<br />

one another. The two main ones are in Wenceslas<br />

Square and Old Town Square, where a Christmas<br />

tree, felled from the Krkonose mountains each year,<br />

stands tall. Two smaller efforts can be found on<br />

Republic Square, between the Old and New towns,<br />

and Havel’s Market. All four stock traditional<br />

handcrafted toys, decorations, jewellery and<br />

candles. Hot food, Czech beers and spiced,<br />

mulled wine (svarene vino) are all readily available,<br />

but for something really special try traditional<br />

Czech festive sweets: vanilla rolls, gingerbread<br />

biscuits topped with icing, and vosi hnizda (“wasps<br />

nests”) – delicious biscuits made with nuts and rum<br />

then covered in vanilla sugar.<br />

Don’t go home without: Becherovka, a Czech herb<br />

liqueur with medicinal properties.<br />

From 22 November to 2 January. pragueexperience.com<br />

CHRISTMAS MARKETS<br />

Budapest<br />

Budapest has a distinctive old-world charm. Saunter<br />

along the cobbled streets, passing grand buildings,<br />

squares and parks and you’ll find some excellent<br />

markets: Vorosmarty Square becomes a winter<br />

wonderland with stalls selling arts and crafts as well<br />

as tasty Hungarian delicacies such as kurtoskalacs<br />

(conical pastries covered in sugar and cinnamon),<br />

strudels, roast meats and mulled wine (forralt bor).<br />

Recover from a shopping spree – or escape the chill<br />

wind – with afternoon tea or dinner at the grand<br />

and glitzy Gerbeaud Cafe (gerbeaud.hu) that<br />

overlooks the square. Head to Citadella, an<br />

old fort about 15 minutes walk (or a short bus<br />

ride) from the centre, for some fantastic winter<br />

vistas of the city.<br />

Don’t go home without: Hungarian paprika.<br />

Leeds<br />

A little closer to home, the city centre of Leeds welcomes the German-themed<br />

Christkindelmarkt to Millennium Square, where 40 wooden huts sell an<br />

eclectic array of toys, sweets, crafts, candles, jewellery and knitted items. There<br />

will be plenty of German food to try too, including sausages and traditional<br />

Christmas spicy gingerbread biscuits. It’s not only stalls – other attractions<br />

include a beautiful vintage carousel for kids and a German show band. If it gets<br />

too chilly outside, retreat to the warmth of the Leeds branch of Harvey Nichols<br />

(harveynichols.com) for more retail therapy before relaxing with a cocktail or<br />

hot chocolate in the store’s Fourth Floor bar and cafe.<br />

Paris<br />

The magical days before Christmas are especially<br />

romantic in the City of Light, which lives up to its<br />

nickname when many of its tree-lined streets are<br />

aglow with decorations – the Champs-Elysées is<br />

illuminated with around 150,000 bulbs. There are<br />

several Christmas markets here but the best are in<br />

the most iconic locations: on the Champs-Elysées<br />

and just down the road in Maison de l’Alsace. Most<br />

markets have stalls selling warming mulled wine<br />

(vin chaud), wooden toys and regional specialities.<br />

After shopping, visit chic department store Galleries<br />

Lafayettes (galerieslafayette.com) to gawp at the<br />

sensational decorations.<br />

Salzburg<br />

Just outside Salzburg, in a village called Oberndorf,<br />

an Austrian monk composed the quintessential<br />

carol Silent Night. Famous songs aside, the city<br />

oozes seasonal cheer in the weeks leading up to<br />

Christmas. Dom Square has hosted a festive market<br />

since the 15th century, and there’s another good<br />

one on Residenz Square. At both, stallholders sell<br />

sweets, wooden toys and decorations, and on<br />

Saturdays in front of the Dom (6.30pm from<br />

November 27) a brass band serenades shoppers with<br />

seasonal tunes. Warm up Austrian-style with<br />

a hot sauna and spa. If that’s too energetic, visit<br />

Adventure Island<br />

To discover Tenerife's most glorious sights you’ll need to hike up a volcano, bike<br />

down a mountain or head underground. Christian Williams explores


Climb high, sleep low,” goes the age-old<br />

mountaineering slogan. It’s supposed to help<br />

conquer altitude sickness, but it can also be<br />

used to make the most of your Jet2holiday in<br />

Tenerife. While you can’t beat the coastline for<br />

hotels, restaurants, bars and nightlife, you’ll need to<br />

get adventurous to enjoy Tenerife’s most spectacular<br />

natural bounties. Here’s how to hike, bike and cave<br />

your way off the beaten track and towards the most<br />

magical spots in the Canaries.<br />

Hike It<br />

The Parque Nacional Las Cañadas del Teide at<br />

Tenerife’s centre is named after Mount Teide,<br />

Spain’s highest summit (3,718m) and the world’s<br />

O C T O B E R / N O V E M B E R<br />

third largest volcano. Amazingly, it’s far smaller<br />

than the original volcano that blew its top here some<br />

300,000 years ago. Teide sprouted in the huge crater<br />

that was left, which is so sun-baked and otherworldly<br />

it was used as a location for fantasy films such as<br />

Total Recall and Clash of the Titans.<br />

Parts of the crater rim are now mountains in<br />

their own right and Guajara (2,715m) is the most<br />

accessible. Its summit lies some 600m above the<br />

crater and at the end of signed footpaths from<br />

the Parador Hotel (paradores-spain.com) – one<br />

of the national park’s few buildings.<br />

The climb is fairly steep and rugged, but it’s<br />

also highly rewarding. The flat summit provides<br />

a wonderful viewpoint from which to admire<br />

Teide and the lava tongues of its most recent<br />

eruptions. In other directions, the view takes in<br />

the neighbouring Canary Islands and portions of<br />

Tenerife’s dense pine forests, which drape across the<br />

backbone of the island before petering out as the<br />

steep and jagged slopes plunge into the Atlantic.<br />

biking and hiking<br />

If the four hours needed for the Guajara hike<br />

sound a bit much, then follow the marked path<br />

around the bizarre and twisted Roques de García<br />

on the opposite side of the Parador. Easily doable<br />

in two hours, this gentler circuit loops around some<br />

of the park’s most spectacular volcanic landforms.<br />

The precariously top-heavy Roque Cinchado is<br />

a photo favourite, but it’s also worth making your<br />

way to La Catedral, an enormous rock monolith<br />

with striking geometric patterns.<br />

Bike It<br />

In the Orotava Valley all cars are funnelled along<br />

a single sealed road, making the dirt tracks ideal for<br />

exploration by mountain bike. Athletes in training<br />

routinely bike the 2,300m climbing from the coast<br />

to get up here, but for the less athletic the best way<br />

up is to let a company such as Tenerife Training<br />

(+34 922 331 191, tenerife-training.net) shuttle you<br />

up. You can rent mountain bikes from them and<br />

they’ll give you a guided tour tailored to your level<br />

of fitness and ability for as little as £42.<br />

After exploring some of the park on two wheels<br />

there’s the chance to stop for a snack at the hamlet<br />

of El Portillo, where a handful of restaurants serve<br />

traditional upland Canarian food such as soups and<br />

stews served with gofio (a thick flour used in place of<br />

bread) or rabbit in garlic sauce.<br />

Then there’s the epic downhill ride through the<br />

Orotava Valley to the coast to enjoy, where you can<br />

head off road and follow trails through the misty<br />

Canarian pine forest. One particularly good route<br />

Island Holidays JET2HOLIDAYS.COM<br />

takes in Los Organos, a row of massive basalt pillars<br />

that have been crystallised in the shape of organ<br />

pipes, some 2km south of the village of Aguamansa.<br />

Nearby, the old volcanic crater of La Caldera offers<br />

a great picnic spot, with a kiosk serving light meals,<br />

including excellent fresh trout. If you don’t take<br />

a guide, be sure to take a good map.<br />

Cave It<br />

Tenerife’s aboriginal inhabitants, the Guanches,<br />

traditionally lived in caves on the sunny side of<br />

valleys, buried their dead in caves on the shady side,<br />

and used some, such as the Cueva de San Blas, as<br />

religious shrines. Today, you can still find their<br />

homes in some parts of Tenerife – such as the Anaga<br />

in the northeast – carved into the rock.<br />

Surprisingly, the island’s most spectacular caves<br />

weren’t really explored until the 1970s when teams<br />

began to map the network. It soon emerged that<br />

they were dealing with one of the world’s largest<br />

networks and its longest cave, the Cueva del Viento<br />

(or “Cave of the Wind”; cuevadelviento.net),<br />

spans a full 18km under the north side of the


Island Holidays JET2HOLIDAYS.COM<br />

island. It runs beneath the town of Icod de los<br />

Vinos – a place famed for its huge and ancient<br />

dragon tree, like a yucca – and the cave visitor<br />

centre lies a 15-minute (signposted) drive south<br />

(it’s a £4 taxi ride). The centre expertly explains<br />

how lava flows formed the cave.<br />

Technically, it’s a lava tube – a giant tunnel made<br />

and left behind 27,000 years ago by molten lava<br />

forced out of the earth. The process left behind<br />

bulbous basalt formations, including stalactites,<br />

cascades, terraces and lava lakes, which look<br />

particularly eerie during the cave tour because<br />

the only source of light comes from the group’s<br />

miners’ helmets.<br />

The tour may only go 200m underground, but<br />

it’s far enough to get a feel for this cold and rugged<br />

passage, which calls for warm clothes and sturdy<br />

shoes. It’s an inhospitable place and there’s little<br />

sign of life, so the spectacular fossils of an extinct<br />

giant rat and giant lizard come as a surprise, as<br />

does the fact that 190 different species still dwell<br />

here in the pitch dark. Many are small insects and<br />

most are so-called troglobites: creatures that survive<br />

only in caves. Some 15 of these species were new<br />

to science when they were discovered here, but<br />

don’t get too excited – an eyeless cockroach is<br />

about as glamorous as it gets.<br />

FIVE IS THE<br />

MAGIC NUMBER<br />

When it comes to buying<br />

abroad, Brits are stuck in<br />

their ways, often choosing<br />

with their hearts rather than<br />

their heads – or wallets.<br />

According to the latest<br />

Primelocation International<br />

Search Index, a whopping<br />

91 per cent of British people<br />

would only consider buying<br />

overseas in one of these five<br />

countries: Spain, France,<br />

USA, Italy and Portugal. Why?<br />

Because we are familiar with<br />

them and most buyers are<br />

no longer looking to make<br />

a quick buck.<br />

As Primelocation’s Ann<br />

Wright explains: “The recent<br />

downturn has served to<br />

rebalance the market in<br />

favour of more traditional<br />

holiday-home buyers and<br />

holiday lets instead of the<br />

investors only interested in<br />

a quick return.”<br />

PERMANENT<br />

HOLIDAY<br />

A quarter of all Britons who<br />

are looking to buy their<br />

first property are strongly<br />

considering buying abroad<br />

and relocating permanently,<br />

according to a recent survey<br />

by Moneycorp.<br />

A third of the first-time<br />

buyers polled are concerned<br />

about the uncertainty of the<br />

UK market, and 86 per cent<br />

of people believe that they’ll<br />

get more for their cash by<br />

buying overseas.<br />

John Goldie of Moneycorp<br />

reveals: “A lot of people now<br />

are interested not just in<br />

holidaying or retiring abroad,<br />

but having a career abroad.<br />

This has contributed to<br />

a downturn in the number of<br />

people buying second<br />

homes, while the interest in<br />

moving abroad permanently<br />

has gone up.”

But should you choose The Algarve or the Costa del<br />

Sol? Leaonne Hall looks at the options<br />

CASE STUDY<br />

Stuart and Denise Robson<br />

bought a three-bedroom<br />

penthouse apartment at<br />

The Residences in<br />

Vilamoura…<br />

“We found it really easy<br />

buying property in<br />

Portugal. Our solicitor<br />

was fantastic and The<br />

Residences is perfect for<br />

us – it’s almost like a hotel<br />

service here.<br />

“We chose Portugal<br />

because of the weather:<br />

sunny but still comfy, with<br />

a cool Atlantic breeze at<br />

night. As keen golfers, we<br />

love the choice of golf<br />

courses here. And the<br />

people are so friendly and<br />

helpful. We really enjoy<br />

their company.”<br />

The Algarve<br />

Why The Algarve?<br />

For decades the 155km-long Algarve coastline has<br />

attracted second-home buyers and holidaymakers<br />

because of its low crime rate, sunny climate, sugar-white<br />

sandy beaches and stunning national parks. With lots of<br />

historical and cultural sites, The Algarve is easy to reach<br />

for a quick weekend getaway and it’s geared up to cater<br />

for English speakers. It’s incredibly easy to buy here, with<br />

most professionals speaking good English.<br />

Where’s the best value for money?<br />

The Algarve offers something to suit every budget and<br />

taste, with prices varying from £100,000 for an apartment<br />

up to millions for a villa in the central Algarve. In terms of<br />

value, the eastern Algarve is cheaper, while if it’s nightlife,<br />

golfing and manicured resorts you’re after, you can’t beat<br />

the central areas of Vale do Lobo and Quinta do Lago.<br />

How’s the market faring?<br />

While the property market has been quiet over the past<br />

two years, it’s also looking pretty stable, with prices back<br />

to within 30 per cent of the overhyped 2008 price tags.<br />

Alan Ellis of The Residences in Vilamoura says there has<br />

been an upturn in demand: “Villas are selling, which is<br />

the first sign of a healthy recovery for the mid-priced<br />

apartments and townhouses around £250,000.”<br />

What about the nightlife?<br />

Whether it’s a quiet glass of wine, an all-night party or<br />

a family friendly bar you’re after, you’re spoilt for choice<br />

here. There are plenty of places that stay open until the<br />

early hours, such as Zanzibar in Lagos or, if you’re feeling<br />

lucky, the Casino Praia da Rocha.<br />

How’s the food?<br />

There’s fantastic fresh fish, while pork, chicken and lamb<br />

are also popular – especially piri-piri chicken.<br />

What are the beaches like?<br />

With calm, warm seas, the watersports are fantastic.<br />

The Alvor Lagoon on the western Algarve is perfect for<br />

boating, and you can enjoy snorkelling around the grottos<br />

of Lagos in summer.<br />

Is there much culture?<br />

You’ll find stunning Moorish architecture, medieval castles<br />

and sugar-cube-shaped houses. The 37 churches of Tavira<br />

and the Tower of Alcacova, with its breathtaking views of<br />

the town, are must-sees.

CASE STUDY<br />

Justin Markham owns<br />

a two-bedroom apartment<br />

in Marbella…<br />

“I went to school on the<br />

Costa del Sol and love the<br />

region. The landscape is<br />

beautiful and the people<br />

are so friendly and<br />

welcoming. I still have<br />

friends and family here,<br />

and I always wanted to put<br />

some roots down.<br />

“The buying process<br />

was fairly simple; however<br />

I advise you to seek the<br />

advice of a qualified<br />

British lawyer first. We<br />

have had our property<br />

since 2004 and two years<br />

ago started renting it out<br />

as a holiday home to get<br />

the most out of it.”<br />

Costa del Sol<br />

Why the Costa del Sol?<br />

Andalucía’s sunshine coast stretches for over 160km.<br />

There are unspoilt enclaves to the east of Malaga Airport,<br />

while to the west there are plenty of bars, restaurants<br />

and beaches to enjoy. There is a well-developed expat<br />

enclave on the Costa del Sol.<br />

Where’s the best value for money?<br />

There are many developments to choose from between<br />

Malaga and Marbella, in particular around Fuengirola,<br />

Torremolinos and Calahonda. For those on a bigger<br />

budget, Marbella, Estepona and Puerto Banús are the<br />

places to go, but wherever you look expect to be faced<br />

with new or recently built resale property.<br />

How’s the market faring?<br />

The property market has had problems recently, and<br />

there’s little being built at present. Homes in Marbella<br />

and the surrounding areas are selling well, but some<br />

parts of the Costa del Sol should be avoided, as Victor<br />

Sague of Taylor Wimpey España explains: “There are<br />

areas such as Calahonda and Manilva which are<br />

suffering from an oversupply of property.”<br />

O C T O B E R / N O V E M B E R<br />

What about the nightlife?<br />

The Costa del Sol offers some of the best nightlife in<br />

Spain, with everything from cheap-and-cheerful theme<br />

pubs to champagne bars and clubs.<br />

How’s the food?<br />

Expect to find everything from fish and chips to fine dining<br />

around the port of Marbella. Traditional gastronomy in the<br />

region centres round fresh fish, olive oil and vegetables.<br />

What are the beaches like?<br />

The best beaches are to be found to the west, where you<br />

can take advantage of a 100km stretch of coastline.<br />

Is there much culture?<br />

The Picasso Museum in Malaga is a must-see, and the<br />

area is rich in archaeological remains – the cave paintings<br />

in Nerja date back 20,000 years.<br />

BUSINESS HIGH FLYERS<br />

Caroline Rose has worked in retail for as long<br />

as she can remember. Her mother, Patricia, ran<br />

a haberdashery shop, and much of her childhood<br />

was spent helping out in the store when she wasn’t at<br />

school. In this unique environment, she developed<br />

a passion for vintage and retro items, and would<br />

spend her spare time rummaging through flea<br />

markets and car-boot sales looking for beautiful<br />

and unusual bits of bric-a-brac.<br />

When an old bookshop was put on the market in<br />

Haworth, Rose and her mother couldn’t resist taking<br />

the plunge and buying the historic property. At the<br />

time of purchase, they knew very little about the<br />

building’s past. “We looked into the history of<br />

the shop and discovered it had been a co-operative<br />

during the 1940s and 1950s, and before that it was<br />

a pharmacist’s house and shop dating back to when<br />

the Brontë family lived in Haworth,” Rose explains.<br />

“This knowledge inspired us to create an old-style<br />

apothecary shop with a completely antique chemist’s<br />

shop interior.”<br />

Since opening, Rose & Co Apothecary has<br />

established itself as a Brontë Country tourist<br />

attraction in its own right, with customers from<br />

all round the world lured through its doors by the<br />

mahogany fixtures, glass drawers and spectacular<br />

Victorian-era perfume counter. While restoring the<br />

shop, Rose’s interest in the subject became more<br />

than merely a hobby. “I’ve always had an interest<br />

78JetAway<br />

Fresh Ideas<br />

Making more than cosmetic changes to the apothecary’s ancient<br />

art, Caroline Rose tells Steve Burke her formula for success<br />

in vintage cosmetics and old packaging,” she<br />

says, “but my interest in apothecary’s formulas<br />

and products started when we bought the shop.<br />

Researching the chemist-shop fittings of the<br />

Victorian period was really inspiring.”<br />

Naturally enough, you can’t run an apothecary<br />

without a range of soaps, cosmetics and perfumes to<br />

sell, and so the Rose & Co brand was born. Rose<br />

had previously worked for a manufacturing chemist<br />

where she learned how to make soaps and balms,<br />

and she’s still heavily involved in the production<br />

of new products. “We are still a family business,”<br />

Rose explains, “and the products are made in<br />

small batches, mostly by hand.”<br />

Using traditional recipes and charming oldfashioned<br />

packaging, Rose went about developing<br />

her own range. Her first creation, the Rose Petal<br />

Salve, a delicately scented balm made at home on<br />

the Aga, was an instant hit and is her best-selling<br />

product to this day.<br />

The success of the Haworth shop prompted<br />

Rose to open another outlet in Leeds, in the<br />

opulent marble-and-mosaic interior of the Victoria<br />

Quarter. “Leeds has such a feeling of enterprise and<br />

creativity,” says Rose. “It’s a fantastic city to work in.<br />

It’s important to us that we’re based in Yorkshire. My<br />

mum is from Haworth and we are proud to keep the<br />

company based here – the landscape is awe-inspiring<br />

and beautiful. I love the mills, and I feel lucky to live<br />

so close to Saltaire.”<br />

While Rose & Co remains a Yorkshire business,<br />

its products can now be found nationwide in<br />

numerous boutiques, as well as John Lewis, Fortnum<br />

& Mason and Harvey Nichols stores. And, we’re<br />

delighted to add, Jet2.com’s Skyshop (see p101) is<br />

now selling Rose & Co products onboard.<br />

Bodrum’s 15th-century Castle of St Peter has enough<br />

ramparts and towers to tire the kids, plus a dungeon to put<br />

the bejesus up adults too. This massive must-see features<br />

seven water cisterns – enough to withstand several years<br />

of siege. It’s also packed with cannons and launch pads<br />

– perfect for lobbing red-hot projectiles at passing ships.<br />

CRUISE AND SNOOZE<br />

Traditional Turkish boats line Bodrum’s harbour, ready<br />

to take passengers around the bay’s many highlights<br />

with a BBQ lunch included. First up is Akvaryum, offering<br />

a watery window on local sea life, followed by the Kara Ada<br />

hot springs and some great snorkelling spots. Choose your<br />

vessel wisely: smaller boats have mattresses on deck for<br />

dozing, while others are basically floating discos.<br />

TAKE A TWO-WHEEL TOUR<br />

Although minibuses ply the peninsula, it’s heaps more fun<br />

to hire a scooter for a long day out (about £10). A whizz<br />

north of Bodrum are the beachy havens of Bagla and<br />

Karaincir. Heading round anti-clockwise you’ll find buzzing<br />

Turgutreis, with great shopping and boat trips to the Greek<br />

islands. The final loop back to Bodrum through Kadikalesi,<br />

GET BACK TO NATURE<br />

Explore the beautiful, ever-changing waters of the Ria<br />

Formosa delta in a traditional wooden boat with Formosar<br />

(+351 289 832 296, formosar.pt). Sail past glistening<br />

salt farms and anchor graveyards (a relic from the tuna<br />

industry), while keeping an eye out for the oystercatchers,<br />

egrets and flamingos that call this unspoilt area home. The<br />

romantic sunset trip comes complete with a glass of Moët.<br />

BONE UP ON HISTORY<br />

The impossibly ornate interior of the Igreja de Nossa<br />

Senhora do Carmo church on the Largo do Carmo<br />

square is a glimmering treasure trove of gilded religious<br />

iconography. In the early 19th century locals used to meet<br />

here and plot the overthrow of Napoleon while pretending<br />

to pray. Intrepid tourists require no such excuse,<br />

particularly as the fascinating Capela dos Ossos,<br />

a chapel made entirely of bones, is just behind.<br />

SAIL AWAY<br />

If you’ve always dreamt of a life at sea, the Faro Sailing<br />

School (farosailingschool.com) offers two five-day<br />

courses starting at £200 per person. The school is in<br />

Vila Real de Santo Antonio, a 40-minute drive from Faro<br />

Airport, and instruction is from British instructors, so lack<br />

of Portuguese won’t be an issue.<br />

village of Monte da Palhagueira, the charming Le Marquis<br />

quinta serves sophisticated, sunshine-infused food in<br />

deceptively homey surroundings. It’s even (with 24 hours<br />

notice) vegetarian-friendly, quite a rarity around here.<br />

DRINK<br />

While Faro boasts plenty of great bars, pubs and clubs,<br />

there’s no beating nearby Albufeira when it comes to<br />

a wild night out. The road known by tourists as “the<br />

Strip” offers everything from Irish pubs to gay bars,<br />

sports bars and discos. Options include Matt’s Bar for<br />

TO-DO LIST<br />

SEE THE LIGHTS<br />

European cities don’t get much more Christmassy than<br />

Geneva, where from 26 November the town’s trees are<br />

decorated with thousands of lights as part of the Christmas<br />

Trees and Lights Festival (festivalarbresetlumieres.ch).<br />

This isn’t simply a case of grabbing strings of coloured<br />

bulbs and hurling them everywhere; these festive, flickering<br />

lights are as beautifully arranged as works of art.<br />

SKATE, SPLASH, SHIVER<br />

Outdoor ice-skating is available at venues throughout<br />

Geneva, including Place du Rhone and Commune de<br />

Meyrin. But if a leisurely skate isn’t adventurous enough<br />

for you, stick around until the annual Christmas Swimming<br />

Cup takes place. In the middle of December, a bunch of<br />

hardy local folk strip to their swimwear and race across<br />

the lake. Given that the water is bloody freezing at this<br />

time of year, even daredevils might find spectating more<br />

appealing than participating.<br />

CLIMB EVERY MOUNTAIN<br />

When you’re trying to avoid skiing into snowboarders,<br />

tree trunks and rapidly approaching cliff edges, it’s not<br />

always possible to enjoy the spectacular Alpine scenery.<br />

Thankfully, on a guided mountain tour you can admire the<br />

sights that have flown past you in a blur. Tour specialist<br />

Geneva<br />

Viator (viator.com) offers a trip through Arve Valley<br />

to the base of the highest peak in the Alps, Mont Blanc.<br />

The excursion also includes lunch in Chamonix and<br />

a cable-car ride.<br />

OUT AND ABOUT<br />

DINE<br />

At Restaurant Les Armures (+41 22 310 9172, hotel-lesarmures.ch),<br />

located in the middle of St Pierre Square,<br />

you’ll find a menu full of Swiss comfort food to get the<br />

warmth back into you after a few spills in the snow. It’s<br />

the perfect spot for refuelling while exploring the city,<br />

with St Pierre Cathedral, Tavel House and numerous<br />

museums all just a few minutes walk away.<br />

DRINK<br />

A skiing holiday isn’t a proper skiing holiday without<br />

an immobilising dose of après-ski. Try Café Bizarre<br />

(+41 22 738 3333, cafebizarre.ch), an edgy lounge bar<br />

with eccentric design, good drinks and funky music.<br />

TO-DO LIST<br />

HAGGLE HAPPY<br />

Shopping on Hurghada’s main tourist strip is a love-it-orhate-it<br />

experience. You’ll either get a kick out of haggling<br />

hard for bargains or find the whole experience expensive<br />

and unpleasant. It’s competitive out there, and Hurghada<br />

shopkeepers don’t hold back from the hard sell. It’s<br />

impossible to walk down the street without attracting their<br />

attentions, and it’s sometimes quite difficult to shake them<br />

off. Haggle hard, but don’t take it too seriously, especially<br />

if you’re arguing over a couple of quid. The most popular<br />

buys are Egyptian crafts, souvenir T-shirts and shisha<br />

waterpipe sets.<br />

TAKE THE PLUNGE<br />

For the best diving in the area, you’ll need to take a drive<br />

out of Hurghada. The Subex Centre in El Quseir (+20 65<br />

335 0036) offers diving instruction in a pristine nature<br />

reserve 90 minutes south of town. The beautiful coral reefs<br />

are abundant with sea life, and since the school is attached<br />

to a Mövenpick resort, you’ll be able to recover from all<br />

that paddling in comfort.<br />

TIME FOR TEE<br />

Designed by the American golfer and one-time Masters<br />

champion Fred Couples, the 18-hole course at the El<br />

Gouna Steigenberger Golf Resort (+20 65 358 0140,<br />

players of all abilities the opportunity to test their skills.<br />

OUT AND ABOUT<br />

DINE<br />

It’s unusual for holidaymakers in Hurghada to leave the<br />

comforts of hotel restaurants, but Felfela (+20 65 344 2410)<br />

is a local option worth making an exception for. It boasts<br />

charming Nubian-style decor, good service and Egyptian<br />

dishes at reasonable prices. For an authentic treat,<br />

don’t miss the ta’amiya (Egyptian falafel), the ful (stewed<br />

fava beans) and the koshary (a carb-loaded dish of rice,<br />

macaroni, lentils and onions in a spicy tomato sauce).<br />

DRINK<br />

The world’s only Hed Kandi Beach Bar (hedkandibeachbar.<br />

com), a spin-off of the British music record label, can be<br />

found at Hurghada’s marina. Surrounded by palm trees,<br />

you can dance to a different beat every night of the week.<br />

On Thursdays, women get free cocktails until 1am!<br />

Hair Transplant -<br />

A Minor Surgical Procedure<br />

NEW<br />

A hair transplant is undertaken as a minor day case surgical<br />

procedure. The process only deals with the surface layers of the<br />

skin: the epidermis and dermis and is carried out under a local<br />

anaesthetic. We use the highest quality state of the art FUE and<br />

FUT and we can transplant up to 2.500 grafts in only one session.<br />

NEW LaserSlim clinics now available in London & Leeds<br />

The Results are Amazing!<br />

FREE<br />

Consultation<br />

SmartLipo is a revolutionary concept in laser assisted liposculpture.<br />

The procedure causes minimal discomfort and is very safe. Many<br />

procedures take just one to two hours to carry out under local<br />

anaesthetic and recovery time can be just a few hours.<br />

A fine cannula is used to deliver a safe, powerful laser to heat the fat<br />

cells, causing them to break down into an oily substance that is absorbed<br />

and eliminated in a natural manner, whilst also tightening the skin. We<br />

will also advise you about your health overall, giving you a personalised<br />

nutritional program with very clear objectives, a physical training program<br />

according to your shape and condition and a very complete follow-up to<br />

evaluate and adjust the results.<br />

LaserSlim is run by NHS practitioners and treatments are carried out<br />

by highly experienced and internationally regarded Italian Cosmetic<br />

Surgeons including one of the founder physicians for SmartLipo.<br />

We can accept all major credit cards (except Amex) and 12 months<br />

interest free credit is available on our Smartlipo treatment.<br />

daily disposable contact lenses<br />

Daily disposables are the healthiest contact lenses but<br />

were very expensive, even unaffordable, until the launch<br />

of daysoft online.<br />

cleaning is the problem<br />

Monthly or 2-weekly contact lenses need<br />

cleaning solutions and a ‘rub and rinse’<br />

before use... a real hassle. Also lens<br />

cleaning solutions are not cheap and can<br />

‘go off’ soon after opening.<br />

But there is more... one in ten people have<br />

allergic reactions to solutions and soft<br />

contact lenses absorb protein which is<br />

never removed risking solutions-related<br />

discomfort. For anyone who cleans in<br />

peroxide and forgets to neutralise the<br />

pain is excruciating. Lastly, there is<br />

the environmental impact of discarded<br />

solutions bottles and the chemicals<br />

themselves.<br />

SAFETY ONBOARD RESPONSIBLE FLYING WITH JET2.COM<br />

Safety & Comfort<br />

Most of the following guidelines are mandatory under<br />

Civil Aviation Authority Regulations to make sure your<br />

flight is safe, comfortable and enjoyable<br />

SAFETY ONBOARD<br />

Knowing what to do in the unlikely event of an emergency could<br />

make all the difference to you and your family. The safety<br />

information card in your seat pocket and the cabin crew’s safety<br />

briefing give you vital information on the location of exits and<br />

emergency equipment. As this can vary from one airline to another<br />

it is important to pay attention to the safety briefing and read the<br />

safety card each time you fly. Our crew are specially trained to<br />

ensure your safety and security at all times. It is an offence<br />

to refuse to obey any lawful command of the captain or cabin<br />

crew. Our primary concern is YOUR safety at all times.<br />

MOBILE PHONES<br />

To prevent interference to the aircraft communication and<br />

control systems the use of mobile phones or any other<br />

wireless communication devices is restricted onboard.<br />

Mobiles must not be used for internet access, text messaging<br />

or voice calls while onboard the aircraft. If your device is<br />

fitted with a “flight mode” or something similar you should<br />

switch it to this before the aircraft doors are closed to<br />

prevent any accidental transmission or reception.<br />

SEATBELTS<br />

Seatbelts protect you from injury and you are recommended to<br />

keep your belt fastened throughout the flight, and must do so<br />

whenever the seatbelt sign is switched on (during taxi, take-off,<br />

landing and turbulence). Adjust the seatbelt so that it is tight but<br />

comfortable with the buckle the right way around so that it can be<br />

easily released. Infants travelling on a passenger’s lap will require<br />

an infant seatbelt, which our cabin crew will happily fit for you.<br />

SMOKING<br />

Smoking is NOT PERMITTED on any of our flights, and for<br />

the safety of all our passengers the toilet compartments<br />

are fitted with highly sensitive smoke detectors. Violation of<br />

this law may lead to prosecution and a substantial fine.<br />

ALCOHOL<br />

Please bear in mind the fact that high altitude increases<br />

the physical effects of alcohol, so moderate consumption<br />

96JetAway<br />

is recommended. It is illegal to be intoxicated onboard an<br />

aircraft. The consumption of any alcoholic beverage onboard<br />

other than those that have been supplied from the in-flight<br />

bar is not permitted and the crew are authorised to remove<br />

alcohol from passengers drinking from their own supplies.<br />

PASSENGER BEHAVIOUR<br />

Jet2.com expects our passengers to behave in a responsible<br />

manner and we will not tolerate unacceptable behaviour. This<br />

includes foul language and any other behaviour that reduces other<br />

passengers’ enjoyment of the flight and causes them, or our staff,<br />

any degree of distress, discomfort or unnecessary inconvenience.<br />

We reserve the right to ban passengers from future flights if their<br />

behaviour is a threat to the safety of our passengers or crew.<br />

HAND LUGGAGE<br />

One small piece of hand luggage is allowed per person, providing<br />

its weight is less than 10kg and it is no larger than 56cm x 45cm x<br />

25cm including wheels and handles. Any piece of baggage that does<br />

not meet these requirements will be placed in the hold and the<br />

relevant fee will be charged. Any other excess hand luggage will<br />

be placed in the hold. Light or soft articles should be stowed in the<br />

overhead luggage compartments, heavier items under seats. Items<br />

lying loose on empty seats or obstructing the aisles or emergency<br />

exits are dangerous and you will be asked to remove them.<br />

ELECTRONIC EQUIPMENT<br />

Once the aircraft is at cruising altitude and the captain has<br />

turned off the “Fasten Seat Belt” sign, you are free to use<br />

laptops, CD players, MP3 players, computer games and most<br />

other electronic items. The use of electronic equipment of<br />

any kind is not permitted during taxi, take-off and landing.<br />

COMFORT<br />

Changes in the cabin air pressure may cause some slight<br />

discomfort in your ears. You can relieve this by swallowing<br />

hard, yawning or holding your nose while gently breathing<br />

out with your mouth closed. Flying also causes your body to<br />

dehydrate so you are advised to have something to drink that is<br />

not alcoholic. For your further comfort, please also refer to the<br />

recommended exercises on the opposite page of this magazine.<br />

IN-FLIGHT SERVICE<br />

On your flight we will be offering you a comprehensive choice<br />

of hot and cold drinks as well as a selection of delicious<br />

snacks, including sandwiches and confectionery. Full details<br />

of our onboard products can be found at the back of this<br />

magazine. We kindly ask all passengers to help keep the<br />

aircraft tidy by not placing rubbish in the seat pockets or on<br />

the floor. Our cabin crew will be collecting rubbish throughout<br />

the flight, so please help them to keep the aircraft tidy.


Stretch Onboard<br />

Short flights to continental European destinations are less likely<br />

to lead to a risk of deep vein thrombosis (DVT) than long-haul<br />

flights. Nevertheless, it’s good to stretch out. It’s not easy to<br />

walk around onboard, so for your own comfort and relaxation,<br />

why not try some of these seated exercises?<br />

KNEE RAISE<br />

With your hands clasped<br />

together, pull your left<br />

knee up as close as<br />

possible to your chest<br />

1<br />

Remember that extreme<br />

dehydration can increase the<br />

risk of DVT, so drink plenty of<br />

water and minimise your alcohol, tea and<br />

coffee consumption during the flight.<br />

and hold for a count of<br />

eight, then return to a sitting<br />

position. Relax. Do the same<br />

with your right knee. Then<br />

FEET<br />

A Flex your foot at the ankle and<br />

stretch out as far as you can.<br />

Bend your toes forward and<br />

back. Slowly rotate your foot<br />

using a circular motion clockwise,<br />

then anti-clockwise. Relax.<br />

Repeat with the right foot.<br />

B With your feet on the tips<br />

with both knees. Repeat<br />

four times. Relax. Bend<br />

forward and gently massage<br />

both calf muscles.<br />

of your toes, raise and lower<br />

your legs. Relax. Repeat<br />

several times.<br />

C Clench and unclench your<br />

toes. Relax. Repeat several<br />

times.<br />

D Stretch your toes. Relax.<br />

Repeat several times.<br />

THREE THINGS TO BEAR IN MIND ON YOUR TRAVELS<br />

3 Try<br />

2<br />

You will arrive at your<br />

destination feeling much better<br />

if you sit correctly, with your<br />

weight balanced evenly on both buttocks<br />

and without crossing your legs.<br />

O C T O B E R / N O V E M B E R<br />

ANKLE ROTATION<br />

With your feet slightly raised<br />

off the floor, rotate your ankles<br />

10 times towards each other<br />

and then 10 times away from<br />

each other.<br />

SHOULDER<br />

LOOSENER<br />

Hunch your shoulders together,<br />

drop, repeat. Rotate your<br />

shoulders one at a time with<br />

a gentle circular motion, first<br />

forwards, then backwards.<br />

HEAD AND<br />

SHOULDERS<br />

Sitting well back in your seat,<br />

in a comfortable position with<br />

your back and shoulders well<br />

supported, turn your head to the<br />

right as far as you can, then slowly<br />

raise and lower your chin three<br />

times. Relax. Repeat, turning your<br />

head to the left this time. Repeat.<br />

SHOULDER<br />

STRETCH<br />

Grasp your left shoulder with your<br />

right hand, then place your left<br />

hand behind your right elbow.<br />

Gently press your elbow toward<br />

your shoulder. Hold the stretch<br />

for 15 seconds and repeat on the<br />

other side.<br />

deep-breathing exercises to relax. Sit back<br />

in your seat in a comfortable position, close<br />

your eyes and take a deep breath. Hold<br />

it for a while, then exhale and say the word “relax”.<br />

Repeat four or five times.<br />
