For the love of Art

JIMENA It's a time for love, according to the calendar (we thought it was all the time, but Tuesday is Valentine's Day, according to trade and commerce). But this a different kind of LOVE, Carolina tells us from Case Verde Agaden. "We have invited local artists to exhibit for a week," says she. So, the exhibition opened today, and remains so until Friday next, the 17th. Opening hours are the Casa Verde usual: Afternoons from 5 to 9 on weekdays, and all day on weekends. Ah, it is also open all day on Tuesday. (Prospero note: The Casa Verde is one Jimena's prize houses, renovated and maintained by Agaden, the environmental pressure group, with the help of us all: there is a nice little shop and a lovely cup of coffee -or something stronger. Well worth a visit! It's just below the Ayuntamiento on Calle Sevilla.)

"Dear Prospero, Another year another valentine just for the hell of it (no not for you...we all love you)... regards, Phil." And we were saying our readers are unromantic...! (Can't quite figure out what those cricket stumps have to do with it, but still...) HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY, EVERYONE!

Music and the food of love

JIMENA Special St. Valentine's Weekend music at La Estación in San Pablo. As the poster says, Felix Slim and Hot Nasho are offering a concert at that singular spot (in a restored railway station) tonight, from 11.30 : Blues, Jazz, Funk, Bossa, Pop... Bit of all sorts, really. Then again, St. Valentine's wouldn't be the same without a bit of all sorts, would it? And speaking of Cupid, La Estación is also offering a VERY special menu tonight (See it below) for before the concert, so we suggest you book early (like right now! on 956 642 244) and make a lovely evening of it. Enjoy! (Find La Estación on GoogleMaps here)

Unromantic readers!

Our readers are evidently unromantic. Despite the fact that we put up this image on the top of the sidebar a week or so ago, we have not had a single Valentine's Day message.

In case you wondered, they are FREE OF CHARGE.

All you have to do is e-mail them in and we'll make a nice display of them.

It's Valentine's Day!

Bet you didn't do this for your partner! CraftyPip did... (Tell us how your day went...)
