The Grapevine Issue 171 2014| 3 |
Wow - what a month!
After a soft launch with a special
show version at Olympia’s Over
50’s Show in London, the new mag
Lanzarote Grapevine launched last
week - Issue 1 is on www.lanzarotegrapevine.com.
What has been brilliant about this is
that we have extended the reach of
Javea Grapevine as a result - with
an advert for our Javea magazine in
every new Grapevine as they roll out
across Spain.
Grapevine magazines are about the
communities in which they are based
- but sometimes it is nice to know
that we are not alone in some of the
issues we face - or the pleasures and
interests we share.
For many of us whether or not there
are any other Grapevines in other
areas will not make any difference the Javea Grapevine has evolved to
around 106 pages and the content
is all about Javea, so nothing has
changed here.
For the businesses based here who
rely on customers outside of Javea
for their main income - events, the
hotels, the bars and restaurants, the
car hire people and the leisure and
sports activity suppliers, we hope that
our expansion will have a positive
impact. The more people who know
how interesting and unique Javea is,
the more jobs will be created in the
town for the benefit of everyone who
lives here.
So when I had finally stopped eating
at the International Food Festival I
had barely taken a breath, when the
Same Community Values
Same Ethos
Just a different Look
Moors invaded and the port erupted
to raucus cries and the festivals
began again.
What is not to love about a town and
a people who really understand how
to put on a show and have fun at the
same time. Everywhere I have been
since the sun finally came out for
the Summer I have seen happy people and smiling faces. It hasn’t been
good for everyone, though, sometimes the customers have come too
late for the businesses that needed
them and we have lost good friends
already this summer, but there are
also a lot of new faces, new people
who want to grow into and with the
community. So to those who have left
we bid a sad and regretful farewell,
but I hope you will still visit us both
through the magazine and in person.
To our new visitors we say welcome.
