Nerja Decorative & Fine Arts Society October 25th, 6pm The Cultural Centre, Calle Granada, Nerja. Visitors are most welcome for D10 (D5 for Members of other NADFAS Societies) HEMINGWAY AND SPAIN A fully illustrated lecture in English by Roberta Kettel Sponsored by DentaDanés, Maro Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) had a life-long love affair with Spain, visiting the country over a period of forty years more than fifteen times as travel writer and war correspondent. Several of his books including “For Whom the Bell Tolls”, “Death in the Afternoon” and “Dangerous Summer” were inspired by these experiences. His larger- than- life image and fearless exploits together with his unique writing style turned him into a twentieth century icon, and in 1954 he was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. In this illustrated lecture Roberta will follow in Hemingway’s footsteps through Spain, taking a closer look at the man and the myth. Readings from his works by Ian Crawley will help to illustrate “Papa” Hemingway’s admiration and fascination for Spain, and the many facets of his literary output. About Roberta Kettel Roberta Kettel has lived in Spain since 1991 and has been involved with NADFAS in Nerja since its beginnings in 1993. Roberta was the society’s chairman for four years from 2002- 2006, and has organized more than twenty trips around Spain for the society between 1996-2008. She is presently responsible for the Capistrano lecture season, organises trips for the Capistrano Travel Club, and has given lectures on different topics associated with Spanish culture and literature to the Nerja History Group and NADFAS societies along the Costa del Sol. Due to high demand this year the Nerja & Costa del Sol DFAS (Decorative & Fine Arts Society) Annual Cultural Tour was extended to 2 separate tours a week apart. Over 80 members arrived in Bilbao by Land, Sea and Air to stay at Hotel Barceló Nervión located on the river Nervión between the Old City Centre and the Guggenheim where we met our very knowledgeable guide Danny (who regaled us with detailed history about the whole area as we journeyed around in our coach). We then enjoyed a welcome dinner in Basque Restaurant high above the City with amazing views. The next day saw the groups leave Bilbao by coach passing some architectural highlights on our way to La Rioja and then visiting three interesting Bodegas which have been designed by famous architects. Bodega Ysios (Calatrava), Bodega Marquez de Riscal (Ghery) (with a wine tasting!) and Bodega Lopez de Hereda (Zaha Hadid) in Haro. The 2 nd night was spent in Santo Domingo de la Calzada, a town on the Camino de Santiago, in the beautiful ambience of the Parador, a 12 th century hospital next to the Cathedral built by Santo Domingo to house the pilgrims who were on their way to Santiago de Compostela. The next day we set off for San Millán de la Cogolla, which was visited by many pilgrims on their way to Santiago de Compostela where we visited 2 famous monasteries of Yuso (11th c ) and Suso (10th c ), both World Heritage sites. After an excellent lunch in Asador Jesú we departed for Burgos. The 3 rd night saw us staying at the superb Hotel NH Collection Palacio de Burgos and was completed with a guided tour of the centre of Burgos including a visit to the beautiful 13th c gothic Cathedral. Then onto Santo Domingo de Silos. The cloister of the monastery has large capitals with carved scenes and relief panels, and is considered a masterpiece of Romanesque art. Here we listened to Gregorian chanting. To help finance the restoration of the Monastery the monks made a recording of the Chants and reached the UK Top 10 with their album! We had our Farewell Lunch close by. And so a return to Bilbao where, after a night’s rest, in the morning we enjoyed a walking tour along the river and across the Zubizuri bridge (Calatrava) to the Guggenheim Museum (Ghery) which culminating in a guided walk of the old quarters. 80 weary travellers then made their way South on a late night flight satisfied in the knowledge they had gained over 5 days in this most fascinating part of Spain and thinking of the 2017 Cultural Tour which will be in April 2017 with excited anticipation. Forty dogfish born at the Almuñécar Aquarium 18 THE MARKET PLACE Almuñécar Aquarium is at the forefront of dogfish breeding, in recent months several dozen of these small sharks have been born, as reported by the aquarium's technical team. "This species of shark, unlike most, is a species that lay eggs rather than live born directly from the mother's womb, so they require special care to get ahead," says Francisco Leva, biologist at Almuñécar aquarium. "We believe that, based on the eggs we've counted and the state in which they are, we will see the birth of about five dogfish per month for some time", says Francisco. At this rate, the dogfish is set to become one of the dominant species at the Aquarium of Almuñécar thanks to the great work done by technicians and biologists, together with the general conditions at the facility. The centre has become, on its own merits, a prominent attraction, not only for tourists visiting Almuñécar but students and researchers interested in marine life reproduction.
