Obsessive Nature<br />

Part trend-setter, part trainspotter, chart-topping DJ<br />

Calvin Harris tells JetAway about his split personality<br />

There’s a duality at the heart of DJing.<br />

On the one hand you’re the party starter,<br />

coolly calling the shots from the centre of<br />

the storm; on the other you’re a massive<br />

geek fetishising vinyl and counting BPM.<br />

Embodying this contradiction with<br />

album-shifting aplomb is 27-year-old Calvin<br />

Harris, the Dumfries-born producer/popstar<br />

behind musical brain-worms Acceptable In<br />

The ’80s, The Girls and this summer’s huge<br />

number 2, Bounce. Harris has worked with<br />

everyone from Kelis to Kylie, and been<br />

dubbed both “the Caledonian Justin<br />

Timberlake” and the “dancefloor Andy<br />

Murray”. How’s that for duality?<br />

“I’m a big fan of lists,” says Harris.<br />

“Lists of people I wanna work with, lists<br />

of tracks I need to finish, lists of possible<br />

albums, tracklistings, EQ settings. I’m just<br />

all about the lists.” He’s joking – we think<br />

– although this mixture of obsessiveness<br />

and abandon has been key to his success.<br />

Before creating his DJ name (from R&B<br />

legends Calvin Richardson and Andre<br />

Harris), Adam Wiles was a small-town teen<br />

taping dance shows off the radio. “I had<br />

nothing else in my life that I was remotely<br />

interested in,” he recalls. “As soon as<br />

I discovered dance music, it was over –<br />

that was the only thing occupying my<br />

head.” The pastime became a career<br />

in 2006 when Harris scored a record<br />

contract with EMI through Myspace.<br />

By the end of 2009 he had five top 10<br />

hits, including the Dizzee Rascal duet<br />

Dance Wiv Me, and had turned down Lady<br />

Gaga (“What sort of a name is that?”).<br />

“I always have a wishlist which I never<br />

share with anyone because if they know, it<br />

becomes embarrassing,” he says. “I shoot<br />

for the stars, then take it from there.”<br />

It was at this point that Harris’ rebellious<br />

streak emerged. On an episode of The X<br />

Factor in late 2009, he invaded the stage<br />

during Jedward’s act holding a pineapple.<br />

What the hell was going through his mind?<br />

“I think the problem was nothing,” he says.<br />

“I just wanted it to come to an end.” What,<br />

your career? “It couldn’t end my career<br />

because I can make a record wherever.<br />

But that’s no justification for trying to ruin<br />

a TV show. Terrible.”<br />

Though he won’t take holidays himself<br />

– “I don’t need days off from doing<br />

something I love; I owe it to my younger<br />

self to keep going” – Harris will be<br />

soundtracking a few summers with sets<br />

in Ibiza and Majorca. So what is it that<br />

makes a great night out? “I don’t know,<br />

there are unquantifiable things that go into<br />

making your favourite club night, you can’t<br />

quite put your finger on it or everybody<br />

would be replicating it all over the world.”<br />

Perhaps he should make a list. “I can’t go<br />

overboard with the lists, I’d get confused.<br />

I’d never get out of bed. I wouldn’t know<br />

what to make a list of first.” MG<br />

Majorca and Cream at Amnesia in Ibiza<br />

The Greatest Show On Earth<br />

Roll Up, Roll Up!<br />

Alegría’s Top Acts<br />

Contortion: “The ultimate<br />

8 JetAway<br />

Debra Brown didn’t run away with the circus, but her<br />

first foray into the world of sequins and somersaults wasn’t<br />

exactly orthodox. She studied gymnastics from a very<br />

young age, then took her passion for acrobatics through<br />

to degree level before starting a career as a professional<br />

choreographer. But it wasn’t until 1986 that her journey<br />

with Cirque du Soleil began.<br />

“I had been working with the same gymnasts for eight<br />

years and I was thinking about the next step,” she recalls.<br />

Encouraged by a friend to see Cirque du Soleil in action,<br />

Brown snuck under the big top during the intermission<br />

– and in that moment her life changed. “I was so surprised<br />

because they were doing the same thing I was doing:<br />

exploring the artistry of movement,” she says. “The next<br />

day I spoke to the ringmaster and gave him my card. And<br />

that’s how my wonderful journey with Cirque started!”<br />

This autumn, one of Brown’s classic Cirque du<br />

Soleil acts, Alegría, is playing at the Salzburg Arena<br />

before heading off around Europe, stopping off in Malaga<br />

(on 1 December) and cities in France early next year.<br />

When this now-iconic production premiered in Montreal<br />

in 1994, Cirque du Soleil was only 10 years old, and it<br />

truly broke the mould. Although the title means “joy” or<br />

“jubilation” in Spanish, Alegría was a striking departure flexibility test. There’s<br />

from the Cirque’s usual style, with dark, theatrical<br />

almost nothing these young<br />

elements and spectacular gothic stage design.<br />

contortionists can’t do.”<br />

Brown worked with Alegría’s directors to create the most Fire-Knife Dance: “The tribal<br />

imaginative material they could, but it didn’t happen knife-master spins blades of<br />

overnight. “It could take between six months<br />

fire around his body with<br />

and two years to perfect a new act,” says Brown. “For perfect rhythmic focus.<br />

Alegría we improvised a lot. Circus artists are unique; it’s Compelling viewing!”<br />

important to explore who they are and what their strengths Power Track: “The climax of<br />

are. The discipline they choose, the group or solo aspect, the show, this is all about<br />

the risk element… all determine the time it takes to learn.” speed, timing, height<br />

And how time has shaped the Cirque itself! What started and agility. A group of<br />

as a humble collective of street performers 26 years ago is acrobats perform<br />

now the world’s biggest spectacle, seen by 100m people staggering sequences<br />

across five continents. Don’t miss your chance to join them of athleticism from<br />

Kicking Against The Grain<br />

Football and beaches are two of our<br />

favourite things, but how often do you see<br />

them together? Thanks to its spectacular sands<br />

and passion for the beautiful game, beach<br />

soccer was invented in Brazil (where else?)<br />

in the early 1990s.<br />

In the past two decades, the popularity of<br />

soccer on the sand (FIFA has officially dubbed<br />

it beach soccer not football) has escalated so<br />

much that there are is now a biennial World<br />

Cup tournament. This year’s competition will be<br />

held in Ravenna, just over two hours from<br />

Venice, from 1-11 September – and the home<br />

team hope their national flair will take them far.<br />

Massimiliano Esposito, the Italian team<br />

coach, has been involved in the sport since<br />

2005, and has marvelled at its transformation.<br />

“Beach soccer has grown significantly, both in<br />

the league and in the world,” he says.<br />

While it requires similar levels of agility,<br />

strength and skill, beach soccer differs greatly<br />

from its grass-based namesake. “In beach<br />

soccer, a match is not just a sporting event, but<br />

also a show,” explains Esposito. “The players<br />

are always trying to entertain the public.”<br />

The excitement and flamboyance of this<br />

new discipline has captured the attention of<br />

some legendary players in recent years,<br />

including Eric Cantona (who managed the<br />

French beach soccer team to victory in 2005)<br />

and Spanish strikers Michel and Julio Salinas.<br />

But for the beach soccer World Cup to rival<br />

the real one, the game needs to start producing<br />

stars of its own. “The Federation has made<br />

A U G U S T – O C T O B E R<br />

a choice to try and produce ‘pure’ beach<br />

soccer players. In the Italian team there are<br />

no professional football players, they are all<br />

amateurs who specialise in beach soccer,” says<br />

Esposito, an ex-professional footballer himself.<br />

This year (in fact, every year) the team<br />

to beat is Brazil. Perhaps because of their<br />

historical head start, the team has hoisted an<br />

incredible 13 out of 15 World Cup trophies.<br />

“Recently many other countries have really<br />

stepped forward,” says Esposito. “I think<br />

Russia, Switzerland and Portugal will be tough<br />

competitors.” Still, “When talking about beach<br />

soccer, everybody automatically thinks of<br />

Brazil.” Perhaps it’s not so different to the<br />

real thing after all. GK<br />

On Your Bike<br />

relocating to a much larger venue: Birmingham’s NEC<br />

It’s big, it’s brash and it’s all about the bikes at the<br />

10th edition of the UK’s Cycle Show. This is your chance<br />

to enjoy a sneaky peek at the latest trends, fashions and<br />

product ranges from the world of cycling, with items<br />

on show from more than 500 brands. Cycling in the<br />

UK is currently enjoying a bit of a renaissance – think<br />

Boris’ bike scheme in London and the popularity of<br />

pedaling pros such as Chris Hoy and Victoria Pendleton.<br />

In fact, Sport England recently announced that cycling<br />

is now twice as popular as golf, and well ahead of sports<br />

such as tennis and squash.<br />

Yes, travelling by two wheels is pretty fashionable, and<br />

the Cycle Show has responded to the rise in demand by<br />

Arena (just 40 minutes from East Midlands Airport).<br />

This year’s show will host BMX stunt performers as well<br />

as separate mountain bike and road tracks where you can<br />

try out the latest wheels for yourself, and the Kiddimoto<br />

track where your little ones can pick up some cycling<br />

safety tips. Some of the biking world’s biggest names will<br />

also be present, including Olympic gold medallist Geraint<br />

Thomas, who says, “The Cycle Show is a key event in the<br />

UK’s cycling calendar, and this year looks set to be the<br />

best one yet.” We can’t wait. CC<br />

EVEN EVENTS INBOUND/OUTBOUND<br />

Friday Night<br />

Lights<br />

Friday night in Leeds is<br />

usually party time, but the<br />

city is anxious to show off<br />

its cultural side too. This<br />

autumn, it’s inviting those<br />

who usually leave nocturnal<br />

Leeds well alone into the<br />

centre for one night only.<br />

On 7 October, Light<br />

Night Leeds sees dozens<br />

of museums and arts<br />

venues opening late into<br />

the evening. There will be<br />

performances and a range<br />

of events aimed at family<br />

audiences, such as a giant<br />

Donkey Kong projected on<br />

to the side of a building.<br />

“The public will have<br />

a rare chance to see inside<br />

some of the more secret<br />

places in the city – with<br />

dance performances in<br />

prison cells, murder ballads<br />

on barges, and light mazes<br />

in dark tunnels,” says<br />

organiser James Hill.<br />

Light Night has done so<br />

well in previous years that<br />

it’s started a trend around<br />

Altho Although the locals keep most of their style secrets firmly mly<br />

tucke tucked up their sleeves, Kiera Kelly at MyStylist Paris<br />

sugge suggests the A-line trench coat as a good place to start:<br />

looks<br />

elegant for both daytime and evening wear.”<br />

How ddo<br />

I wear it? “Team your trench with a pair of long<br />

boots<br />

or ballet flats – or heels for an extra je ne sais quoi,” oi,”<br />

she ssays.<br />

TWEED SKIRT Edinburgh<br />

Why tweed? This hardy woollen fabric is synonymous with Scotland and is especially<br />

popular with fans of vintage style. One of the finest is Harris tweed, which is still<br />

hand-woven in the Outer Hebrides. “Everyone from huge global brands such as Nike to<br />

emerging Scottish designer Jaggy Nettle (jaggynettle.com) have used Harris tweed,” says<br />

Chris Hunt of the Scottish Academy of Fashion.<br />

How do I wear it? Go for a rock ’n’ roll look with edgy accessories, or follow vintage icons<br />

such as Dita Von Teese with a ladylike mix of a tweed skirt and a silky blouse.<br />

Where do I get it? For a double dose of Scottish style, go for tweed and tartan with<br />

an A-line skirt from Ness on the Royal Mile (367 High Street, nessbypost.com).<br />

CLOGS Amsterdam<br />

Why clogs? The Dutch love their shoes, and there’s no other footwear says<br />

Amsterdam quite like the clog. “This season’s styles have come a long way since<br />

the traditional worker’s wooden shoe,” says stylist Carina van der Kloet. “The new<br />

designs are architectural, elegant and innovative.”<br />

How do I wear them? Take your cue from the streets. “Dutch people can be very<br />

daring in the shoes they wear,” says van der Kloet. Stroll around the trendy<br />

Jordaan or de Pijp districts to see how Amsterdammers are rocking the clog.<br />

Where do I get them? Dutch favourite Sacha (161 Kalverstraat, sacha.nl) does<br />

some great classic and modern takes on the clog. MC<br />

INBOUND/OUTBOUND ZEN<br />

Vegging Out<br />

Eat as much as you like while still getting<br />

fit at this luxury vegan boot camp<br />

I’ve enjoyed an aperitif of Champagne with<br />

a fresh cherry in it and a four-course meal washed<br />

down with some excellent Cahors wine. While<br />

it’ll be no surprise to learn I’m in France, just<br />

90 minutes drive from Toulouse, it’s hard to<br />

believe I’m at a fitness boot camp.<br />

“We’re not very good at deprivation,” says<br />

Californian Craig Resnick, who runs vegan-only<br />

Camp Biche with his wife Libby Pratt. The menu<br />

is filled with food so rich and hearty you won’t miss<br />

meat or dairy at all.<br />

This must be the world’s most comfortable boot<br />

camp – but boy, do they know how to work their<br />

guests hard. Fitness instructor Elsa knocks on my<br />

door at 6.30am, and by 6.45am I’m in the exercise<br />

room overlooking the beautiful Tarn countryside<br />

getting started on 648 ab crunches. By the end of<br />

the week, I’ll be hitting the 1,000 mark.<br />

After some more toning exercises, we have<br />

a breakfast of granola and yoghurt before heading out<br />

for the daily 15km hike – and it’s not even 9am.<br />

Despite opting to hike in the slower group, my legs<br />

are screaming by the end, and it seems inconceivable<br />

that I will be able to do more exercise in the<br />

afternoon. But after a hearty two-course lunch and<br />

a doze by the pool, I am ready for aqua-aerobics, an<br />

hour of pilates and an hour of yoga. Phew! Luckily,<br />

just before dinner I’m treated to an hour-long<br />

massage. The next day, it starts all over again.<br />

“We aim to show people that it’s possible to<br />

enjoy their food and still keep in shape,” says<br />

Libby. “If you walk an hour a day, food is not the<br />

enemy.” Men who stay at the camp lose an average<br />

of around 3.5kg per week, and women around<br />

1.75. Libby is keen to stress she believes it is more<br />

important to reduce overall body fat – the week<br />

I was there, one client achieved a reduction of<br />

40%. As for me, I stayed three days, lost 1kg and<br />

a couple of inches from my waist. And I hadn’t<br />

eaten that well for a very long time. CC<br />

INBOUND/OUTBOUND FOOD & DRINK<br />

Heard It On The Grapevine<br />

For excellent-value wine, the Algarve is rapidly becoming a great place to raise a glass<br />

Portugal’s most popular holiday destination is best known for<br />

its beaches and golf courses rather than as a producer of great<br />

wine. But all that’s about to change. While the region may not be<br />

as established as others such as Douro or the Dao, it’s fast becoming<br />

a big name in the production of tasty, well-priced plonk. In fact, it’s<br />

this very affordability that has catapulted the region into the spotlight<br />

in recent years: savvy wine drinkers don’t want to compromise on<br />

taste and quality, but they are now more cautious about how much<br />

money they spend on a bottle.<br />

Already a well-established place to soak up the sun, the Algarve<br />

has plenty to offer for wine lovers, including vineyards to tour, cellars<br />

to visit and well-stocked shops to buy from. Here are our top tips for<br />

a good-value tipple…<br />

Mistletoe and wine<br />

The first stop for tourists with an interest in wine is usually Adega<br />

do Cantor, or “Winery of the Singer” (winesvidanova.com), in Guia,<br />

near Albufeira. The singer in question is Sir Cliff Richard and, like<br />

other celebrity wine buffs such as director Francis Ford Coppola,<br />

he’s more than just a figurehead. Whatever you think of his music,<br />

there’s no doubt he’s played a large role in helping to revive the area’s<br />

wine production over the past few years. He even brought in the<br />

16JetAway<br />

pioneering Australian “flying winemaker” David Baverstock to add<br />

a lighter touch to southern Portugal’s traditionally strong wines.<br />

As well as producing some excellent reds, whites and rosés in<br />

its Vida Nova range (prices start at just £6 a bottle), Adega do Cantor<br />

also offers guided tours of the vineyards and winery, tutored tastings<br />

and the opportunity to buy wines from its shop. And if you’re there<br />

during the summer, you might even bump into the man himself –<br />

Sir Cliff has a villa on the estate and spends a lot of time in the<br />

winery and surrounding areas.<br />

Splash of colour<br />

At Quinta dos Vales (quintadosvales.eu) in Estombar near Portimao,<br />

the combination of wine and art takes on a different form: the estate<br />

is also a sculpture garden showcasing a variety of work from local<br />

and international artists, and hosting temporary and permanent<br />

exhibitions. The old cellar, meanwhile, is used for regular wine<br />

tastings (try Grace Touriga Nacional 2008).<br />

Deeper underground<br />

For something a little bit different, head to the gothic underground<br />

Cave de Vinhos at the Vila Vita Parc (vilavitaparc.com) in Porches near<br />

Armacao de Pera. It houses more than 11,000 bottles of wine,<br />

PHOTOS GETTY


lovingly tended to by the expert serving staff, and features bricks<br />

imported from as far afield as Egypt. Book a table for dinner at<br />

Vila Joya (vilajoya.com) in Gale, near Albufeira, and ask nicely for<br />

a tour of the black-slate wine cellar and tasting room, which has two<br />

cascades of water to keep the environment as cool as the clientele.<br />

Food for thought<br />

A little more remote, yet still only an hour’s drive from the<br />

coast, the area around Beja in the Alentejo opens up even more<br />

possibilities. Set in 1,465 acres of rural landscape including lakes,<br />

fields, olive groves and, of course, vineyards, Herdade dos Grous<br />

(herdadedosgrous.com) has a restaurant, bar and wine shop, an<br />

outdoor pool and sauna.<br />

For the more laidback, tours of the winery are topped off with<br />

tastings of some of the vineyard’s finest reds, including the Reserva,<br />

23 Barricas and Moon Harvested, the latter produced only by<br />

selected grapes harvested for exactly one hour on the night of<br />

the August full moon. Staying for lunch or dinner gives you the<br />

chance to sample some of the traditional delicacies of the region<br />

including lamb, beef and pork that has been farmed on the<br />

estate, presunto (cured ham), morcela (sausage) and some<br />

delicious local cheeses.<br />

climate for wine. Below: Adego do<br />

On safari<br />

Next door (although that’s a relative term around these parts) is<br />

Herdade da Malhadinha Nova (malhadinhanova.pt), a modern hotel<br />

whose design provides a sharp contrast to the more traditional rural<br />

charms of Herdade dos Grous. As well as tasting Malhadinha’s wines<br />

(try Monte da Peceguina Red 2009) in the winery, shop or restaurant,<br />

there’s a host of activities to keep you busy, from jeep safari tours of<br />

the vineyard to treatments in the spa, horse riding, quad biking,<br />

cookery courses and balloon rides.<br />

Fill your bags<br />

If you’re new to Algarve wine, why not look out for some of the<br />

excellent wines from small independent producers such as Barranco<br />

Longo, Frances and Paxa? The actual vineyards aren’t open to the<br />

public, so head for Veneza (+351 289 367 129) near Paderne<br />

instead, an award-winning, cellar-style wine shop with an excellent<br />

restaurant attached.<br />

The wines in this family-run establishment are arranged by region,<br />

and the staff will be happy to help you put together a selection of<br />

your favourites. They even offer a very reasonably priced shipping<br />

service if you want to send a case or home to enjoy after your<br />

holiday. Cheers! PR<br />

Golden Tickets<br />

The new venture from the man behind El Bulli is as<br />

popular as you’d expect but nowhere near as pricey<br />

FOOD & DRINK INBOUND/OUTBOUND<br />

With candyfloss trees, tuna disguised as ham and<br />

olives that aren’t really olives, it doesn’t take long to<br />

work out that everything isn’t quite as it seems at<br />

Tickets. This kooky restaurant just off Barcelona’s<br />

buzzing Las Ramblas is the brainchild of El Bulli<br />

supremo Ferran Adrìa and his equally brilliant brother,<br />

Albert. Year after year, El Bulli was voted the best<br />

restaurant in the world, but after closing its doors<br />

for the last time this summer, the brothers decided<br />

to turn their unique science experiment-style food to<br />

the Spanish national cuisine: tapas. The result is<br />

a restaurant that’s turned run-of-the-mill Spanish<br />

classics on their heads. If it seems like magic, well,<br />

that’s exactly what the brothers were aiming for.<br />

As we walk into Tickets, a member of staff dressed<br />

as a circus ringleader greets us and escorts us to our<br />

table. The restaurant is plastered with pretend movie<br />

posters and flashing fairy lights, planes made out of<br />

Coke cans hang off the ceiling alongside huge hams,<br />

and over in the corner sits an old-fashioned fairground<br />

ice-cream cart. It’s quite a sight.<br />

We spot Albert Adrìa working feverishly away in<br />

the kitchen. He explains that Tickets aims to make<br />

dining into a spectacular event: “The restaurant itself<br />

is a performance, with the main star being the food<br />

and we are the actors,” he says. “Our show is called<br />

La Vida Tapa.”<br />

It’s not a revolutionary idea to modernise tapas,<br />

but here it has become a performance that’s witty,<br />

funny and very theatrical. The waiters guide us through<br />

the menu and handle our questions (“What exactly is<br />

green apple air bread?”) with endless patience.<br />

“The idea of La Vida Tapa is a global concept which<br />

links gastronomy to a way of understanding life,” says<br />

Albert enigmatically. “At La Vida Tapa there is no<br />

place for boredom, sadness or loneliness, but there<br />

is plenty for laughs, complicity and good company.”<br />

This much, at least, is true. We laugh when the<br />

“olives” we’ve ordered turn out to be some kind of<br />

prank – they look like olives and taste like olives but<br />

the texture is radically different. Paper-thin slices of<br />

tuna arrive masquerading as sliced jamón ibérico, and<br />

we grapple to pick them up with “Tickets tweezers”<br />

(this place is far too high-concept for knives and forks,<br />

although not high-priced – dishes start from as little<br />

as £2.20). Oysters are served with a pipette full of<br />

“essence of the sea”, while tiny, deep-fried rabbit ribs<br />

are odd but delicious – salty, crunchy and dipped in<br />

a rich garlic foam. A simple side dish of peas is<br />

transformed into a theatrical event, brought to the<br />

table in a clear bag that’s stabbed to exhume a gust<br />

of pea and fresh mint steam across our table.<br />

But it’s dessert that draws the loudest gasps: a live<br />

tree topped with candyfloss, raspberries and mint<br />

leaves to pick off and savour. For anyone who ever<br />

dreamed of being Charlie Bucket in their very<br />

own Chocolate Factory, this is the place. LM<br />

AUGUST– OCTOBER<br />

Coming Of<br />

Age Drama<br />

Having grown up in the media spotlight, it wasn't until Adele<br />

turned 21 that she became number 1, says Matt Glasby<br />

It doesn’t often happen with<br />

record-smashing recording<br />

artists, but it’s possible to<br />

pinpoint the exact moment<br />

that Adele Laurie Blue Adkins came<br />

of age. At 8:15pm on 15 February<br />

<strong>2011</strong>, the annual Brit Awards were<br />

getting into their usual back-slapping<br />

swing in London’s 02 Arena. Take<br />

That had just stormed the stage with<br />

renewed vigour, Robbie Williams<br />

and a battalion of riot police, and<br />

host James Corden introduced the<br />

next act with the words, “If you’ve<br />

ever had a broken heart, you’re<br />

about to remember it now.”<br />

Looking demure in her LBD,<br />

Adele took the stage to sing the ballad<br />

Someone Like You accompanied only by<br />

a grand piano. As the song swelled, the<br />

singer’s huge eyes filled up with tears<br />

and a light shower of glitter fell. At its<br />

close, she turned away overcome, bit her<br />

thumb, then looked at the floor – still<br />

modest, despite the stunned silence of<br />

a 20,000-strong crowd and 5m viewers<br />

at home. Corden’s pithy response<br />

summed up what 5,020,000 people<br />

were thinking: “Wow!”<br />

The song went straight in at number<br />

1; the album, 21, spent 11 consecutive<br />

weeks at the top of the charts (a feat<br />

unequalled by a female solo artist since<br />

Madonna’s The Immaculate Collection in<br />

1990); Grammys, Brits and worldwide<br />

acclaim followed. The 22-year-old<br />

girl from Tottenham had arrived<br />

and, crucially, she’d done it the old-<br />

fashioned, unfashionable way – by<br />

being good, rather than controversial<br />

(like Amy Winehouse) or cute (like<br />

Duffy). “We’re a gender not a genre,”<br />

says Adele, gently distancing herself<br />

from her female contemporaries.<br />

“Amy is hardcore, Duffy’s a proper lady. I’m<br />

just really mouthy.”<br />

Growing pains<br />

For a purveyor of “heartbroken soul”, as she<br />

terms it, Adele certainly laughs a lot – big,<br />

guttural bursts that come out unedited<br />

whether she’s being watched or not, like<br />

those Brit Award tears. Indeed, her refusal<br />

to be anything other than herself – downto-earth,<br />

unpretentious; someone, in other<br />

words, like you – has been key to her<br />

capacity to cross boundaries. To Adele’s<br />

unaffected eye, the Grammys were “long”,<br />

21 über-producer Rick Rubin “looks like<br />

Buddha”, and Malibu, where she and Rubin<br />

worked on the new album, was “rubbish.<br />

I’m allergic to the sun, so I can’t go surfing.<br />

Every time I wasn’t in the studio I was<br />

really, really bored.” There must have<br />

been some plus points? “It was quite<br />

funny Skyping my family,” she admits,<br />

“Yeah, I’m in Malibu. Where are you,<br />

Tottenham? Awww!”<br />

Adele’s inability to think of herself as<br />

anything out of the ordinary has lead to<br />

some brilliant, Bridget Jones-style faux-pas.<br />

When she performed on Saturday Night Live<br />

in 2008 she thought to herself, “It would be<br />

amazing if Tina Fey came on and did her<br />

Sarah Palin impression. When we got there<br />

the next day I was shouting, ‘Tina! Tina!’<br />

But it actually was Sarah Palin.” Then,<br />

at the 2009 Grammys, “when I won<br />

my award, if you watch it, I almost go<br />

to give Coldplay a hug because I think<br />

they’re my dad or something”.<br />

The way Adele tells it, she may as well be<br />

a competition winner who lucked into her<br />

Grammy-snaffling, Chris Martin-grabbing<br />

lifestyle, but that’s simply not the case.<br />

Born to a teenage mum in north London in<br />

1988, young Adele would sing along<br />

to the Spice Girls (“They made me what<br />

I am today,” she says, apparently in earnest)<br />

and Gabrielle (complete with an authentic<br />

Gabrielle-style eyepatch), a populist touch<br />

she’s never lost. She studied at Croydon’s<br />

ADELE<br />

Left: Adele’s triumphal –<br />

Like You at the Brit Awards <strong>2011</strong><br />

famous BRIT School alongside future<br />

X Factor winner Leona Lewis (perhaps her<br />

exact pop-cultural opposite) and Price Tag<br />

singer Jessie J, before a three-song demo she<br />

put up on Myspace got her signed to XL<br />

Recordings. She took a friend along<br />

to the first meeting expecting it to be<br />

a hoax. It wasn’t.<br />

Work in progress<br />

Having released two singles, Hometown<br />

Glory, about London life, and Chasing<br />

Pavements, about late-night boy trouble,<br />

and her first album, 19, Adele won the<br />

inaugural Critics’ Choice Brit Award in<br />

2008. “It was a bit overwhelming,” she<br />

recalls. “I felt quite uncomfortable about<br />

it all. It wasn’t actually like, ‘Oh, she’s won<br />

a Brit Award because she’s done well,’ it was<br />

everyone assuming I was gonna do well.”<br />

The album duly went quadruple platinum,<br />

but Adele remains healthily sceptical of the<br />

industry that has made her a star. “Don’t<br />

believe the hype,” she warns. “Just do it<br />

Jet2.com 23


ADELE<br />

’Twenty-one is an official<br />

age, and I do feel like I’ve<br />

really become an adult in<br />

these last two years’<br />

for the reason you started and not because of what<br />

everyone’s saying. Make the music how you did<br />

before anyone cared.” So how exactly does she<br />

continue do that? Simple. “Close my eyes and hope<br />

for the best!” There’s that laugh again.<br />

Adele’s follow-up album, the more expansive 21,<br />

was inspired by the same sort of thwarted romance as<br />

Chasing Pavements. “Oh yeah, it’s all about one boy,”<br />

she says. “Not the same one as 19, though.” Which<br />

isn’t to say there hasn’t been some progression – not<br />

least the fact that 21 went an incredible eight-times<br />

platinum. “I didn’t want to call it 21 at first,” she<br />

says. “I thought everyone would be like, ‘Ooh, she<br />

ain’t got much of an imagination, has she?’ Then<br />

I listened back to 19, and suddenly felt like that<br />

it is properly two years later, and 21 is really an<br />

official age, and I do feel like I’ve really become<br />

an adult in these last two years.”<br />

After that stunning Brit performance, the new,<br />

grown-up Adele notched up the most impressive<br />

achievement of her career: becoming the first living<br />

artist to have two top-5 hits in both the albums<br />

and the singles charts since the Beatles 47 years ago.<br />

“I know this is a bit long-winded,” she says, “but<br />

I hope by my fifth or sixth album it’s a record that<br />

makes you say, ‘That’s Adele!’ I hope that my next few<br />

albums are all a progression. I hope I never become<br />

complacent and think that people will buy any old<br />

rubbish I put out.” She can rest easy. If she keeps<br />

belting out songs as beautiful as Someone Like You,<br />

she’ll still be wowing audiences when she’s 64.<br />

Adele will be touring throughout the UK this September.<br />

of warm hush fallen over her pale,<br />

stucco buildings. In a quiet cafe on<br />

a small piazza, we were sitting under a parasol,<br />

contemplating the plate of tomatoes set between<br />

us. I had never seen colours of such intensity –<br />

cardinal-hued flesh, a pinkish spine, a faint yellow<br />

to the pips, the plate dressed with only a gleam of<br />

olive oil, a scattering of salt, a small twist of basil.<br />

There are few countries in Europe where you can<br />

eat so well, so vibrantly, and for so little money as<br />

you can in Italy. Here, food is a matter of national<br />

pride, but it is also a passion, a social glue, a daily<br />

festival. This is a place where an ordinary dinner<br />

can stretch abundantly into the night, a place where<br />

a simple plate of tomatoes can acquire the kind of<br />

luxurious qualities associated with the most gourmet<br />

of dishes. And so my 10 days in the country,<br />

ostensibly to see the sights of Rome, Florence and<br />

Tuscany, soon became less about the Colosseum,<br />

the Basilica and the Ponte Vecchio, and more an<br />

odyssey of gluttony, a trip fuelled by tiramisu, fresh<br />

peaches, soft bread and buffalo mozzarella.<br />

There are ways, of course, to eat expensively in<br />

Italy, but away from the busiest streets and upmarket<br />

hotels it is more than possible to eat both cheaply<br />

and sublimely. The first necessity is to acquire an<br />

Italian approach to food – this is not a matter of<br />

gobbling down a quick processed-cheese sandwich<br />

between the Spanish Steps and the Trevi Fountain,<br />

but rather treating a meal with the respect it<br />

Lunch is a serious business in<br />

Italy and if you make no effort<br />

to embrace it, you’ll never taste<br />

the true flavour of the country<br />

Above left: fettunta, or toasted<br />

deserves – a ritual of pleasure and texture and taste,<br />

rather than merely the quelling of hunger.<br />

In Rome excellent food is hard to escape –<br />

a simple breakfast of coffee, freshly squeezed orange<br />

juice and a pastry such as a ciambella or cornetto (the<br />

Italian version of the croissant) often dunked in your<br />

cappuccino will see you through till lunch when<br />

the feasting begins in earnest. Lunch is a serious<br />

business in Italy and the tourist who makes no<br />

effort to embrace it will never taste the true flavour<br />

of the country. For a serious Roman lunch, it’s<br />

worth seeking out Sora Margherita, at 5 Piazza<br />

delle Cinque Scole. It is small and signless and<br />

crammed with tables, and the service is hardly<br />

leisurely, but if you’re looking for an intensely<br />

Italian dining experience, then this is the place:<br />

ITALIAN FOOD<br />

the fried artichokes are legendary, the fresh<br />

fettuccine divine, their ability to transform the<br />

most basic of dishes – cheese and pepper pasta, for<br />

instance – into something downright exquisite is<br />

positively mystifying. Be sure to order some stuffed<br />

courgette flowers, leave room for the scrumptious<br />

ricotta cheesecake, and take the brusque manner of<br />

the waitresses as part of the authentic experience.<br />

By mid-afternoon, you’ll likely be emerging<br />

from the drowsy state induced by the delights<br />

of Sora Margherita. At such a time, it is worth<br />

remembering that there is no better way to<br />

galvanise yourself for the evening ahead than with<br />

a swift espresso. Jostle for service at the counter,<br />

add a slug of sugar to your coffee and perhaps<br />

partake of a sweet afternoon pastry. Remember<br />

that it is cheaper if you order your espresso to<br />

drink at the bar, rather than seated at a table.<br />

At some point in the evening you may be<br />

surprised to recognise the faint stirrings of hunger,<br />

and a fine way to meet them would be a visit to<br />

Forno Campo de’ Fiori (22 Campo de’ Fiori, +39<br />

synonymous with pizza, this is your kingdom<br />

come. This central Rome bakery has been in<br />

business for more than 40 years, and makes the<br />

most incredible pizzas. Cooked in 1.8 metre-long<br />

batches, they feature simple yet delicious toppings<br />

– from the homely charms of the margherita to<br />

the much-celebrated pizza bianca (olive oil and<br />

sea salt) with courgettes and the sweetest, milkiest<br />

mozzarella. Queues are long and ordering decidedly<br />

chaotic, but the food is brilliantly cheap and more<br />

than worth the bustle.<br />

Florence (80 minutes drive from Pisa airport) has<br />

a very different character to the bustling energy<br />

of Rome; the pace is more sedate, and the<br />

restaurants reflect the mellow, rich and tasty<br />

cuisine of Tuscany. Anyone visiting in autumn<br />

would do well to try fettunta – essentially just<br />

toasted bread drizzled with olive oil. This dish is<br />

available all year round, but in the late autumn,<br />

when the olives have been picked and oil is newly<br />

pressed, the flavour takes on a particular fragrance<br />

and intensity that is hard to equal.<br />

Bread appears in a variety of cheaper Tuscan<br />

dishes. Ribollita, for instance, is vegetable and bread<br />

soup; panzanella is a salad of bread and tomatoes<br />

with oil, vinegar and basil; and pappa al pomodoro<br />

is bread and tomato mush, served lukewarm,<br />

and considerably more delightful than it sounds.<br />

The most common bread here is filone, which<br />

is readily available in local bakeries and<br />

characterised by its absence of salt, a tradition<br />

occasioned by a 16th-century tax on salt by<br />

Pope Paul III. An alternative is schiacciata,<br />

On a whirlwind tour of Paphos, Mike MacEacheran finds himself falling<br />

head over heels for the charms of Aphrodite’s legendary home<br />

Love Is In The Air


PHOTO ALAMY<br />

This is a love story. Not the<br />

conventional type, involving<br />

star-crossed lovers, bouquets<br />

of red roses and bottles of<br />

cheap rosé wine, but one concerning<br />

a Mediterranean island and the hunt for<br />

an elusive myth. I have travelled to<br />

Paphos, on the west coast of Cyprus,<br />

to retrace the footsteps of Aphrodite,<br />

the Greek goddess of beauty, love and<br />

sexuality. To this day, the stories of her<br />

once world-famous cult draw hedonistic<br />

visitors, honeymooners and hopeless<br />

romantics – myself included – to the<br />

island. Who said romance was dead?<br />

Ever since the island’s association with<br />

the contrasting sides of mass tourism,<br />

Cyprus has had its own tumultuous love<br />

AUGUST– OCTOBER<br />

affair with British travellers. In the<br />

1980s, peroxide blonde haircuts flirted<br />

on peroxide blonde sands. Then came the<br />

hedonistic days of the 1990s, when Ayia<br />

Napa, on the eastern side of the island, was<br />

invaded by the Vodka Red Bull brigade<br />

searching for a post-Corfu clubbing fling.<br />

It was an intense relationship that still<br />

brings back happy memories to this day.<br />

But while single partygoers still fly into<br />

Ayia Napa during the summer months –<br />

I wonder what Aphrodite would make of<br />

pop goddess Lady Gaga? – the island now<br />

attracts a different breed of visitor. Since<br />

Cyprus’s reinvention, the Beckhams and<br />

Leonardo DiCaprio have been among the<br />

starry guests who have checked into Paphos<br />

for some Caligula-style frivolity.<br />

Jet2.com 41


PORTOFINO<br />

CYPRUS<br />

Then there are the real pros. Thousands of<br />

loved-up visitors now visit the island every year to<br />

celebrate their wedding nuptials, and with 327 days<br />

of sunshine, it’s not hard to see why. Hotels such as<br />

the appropriately named, five-star Venus Beach<br />

Hotel (book through Jet2holidays.com), located<br />

a short distance away from Paphos Harbour,<br />

offer elegant and luxurious wedding packages<br />

for a guestlist of 500, or a more intimate affair.<br />

My Big Fat Greek Wedding this is not.<br />

Romancing the stone<br />

For the happy at heart, the best place to start<br />

your tour of Cyprus is at Petra tou Romiou,<br />

Aphrodite’s birthplace. Around 20km to the<br />

east of Paphos, Aphrodite’s Rock is a sea stack<br />

surrounded by sheer cliffs, pebbled coves and<br />

clear waters. It may look like a gigantic wedge<br />

of wedding cake but it was the first place<br />

Aphrodite set foot on dry land.<br />

The story goes that Mother Earth asked<br />

Cronus, the leader of the Titans, to mutilate his<br />

father Uranus, the God of the sky. Cutting off his<br />

father’s testicles (yes, really), Cronus then hurled<br />

them into the sea like two cricket balls, only for<br />

the waves to engulf them. Then the sea turned<br />

into Champagne-like foam, and Aphrodite<br />

appeared from the waves and floated to shore on<br />

the back of a scallop shell. To appreciate the sight<br />

as the gods originally intended, check out<br />

Botticelli’s painting The Birth Of Venus, which<br />

recreates the equivalent Roman goddess’s arrival<br />

on the Italian shore.<br />

Come midsummer, Aphrodite’s beach becomes<br />

an irresistible sun trap, the perfect place to seek<br />

out a golden tan, turning milky skin into<br />

bronzed, Adonis-style armour. Local legend<br />

also states that those who swim around the rock<br />

three times will be rewarded with everlasting<br />

beauty. With the temperature turned up to<br />

a sizzling 40 degrees, it’s impossible to hold<br />

myself back from a nymph-like prance into the<br />

sparkling sea.<br />

Those in search of eternal youth may also<br />

be enticed to travel to Polis, on the north coast,<br />

to visit the grotto where Aphrodite used to<br />

bathe. The waterfall and pool are overgrown<br />

by juniper and fig trees, but the real reward is<br />

the location. Hidden on the edge of the wild<br />

and untamed Akamas Peninsula, named after<br />

Akamantas, an Athenian warrior who came<br />

here after the Trojan War, the peninsula is<br />

breathtaking, with cliffs, gorges, Aleppo pine<br />

woods, cobalt-blue Mediterranean coves and<br />

tiny islands. The air is also different: it is scented<br />

with jasmine and thyme – a world away from<br />

the aroma of sunscreen and perfume you find<br />

in Paphos.<br />

42JetAway<br />

Heights of passion<br />

For the Cypriot locals, Aphrodite has become as<br />

much a commercial entity as a classical myth: the<br />

perfect marketing gimmick. You’ll find her<br />

name scattered throughout Paphos, in places such<br />

as the Aphrodite-themed water park (+357 26 913<br />

638, aphroditewaterpark.com), where shrieks<br />

from the vertiginous water rides would crack even<br />

the sturdiest mirror. She also lends her name to<br />

a nightclub, a classic car rally, an opera festival<br />

and a real-estate firm.<br />

Thankfully, central Cyprus has been left<br />

untarnished by her narcissism, and a trip into<br />

the Troodos mountains promises an altogether<br />

different experience. Punctuated by Byzantineera<br />

churches, limestone houses, olive presses,<br />

donkeys and storybook characters (who really<br />

wouldn’t be out of place in an anthropology<br />

museum), these villages offer pastoral scenes<br />

This spread (clockwise from<br />

CYPRUS<br />

centred around the local church or taverna. Each<br />

is populated by cloth cap-wearing Zorba The Greek<br />

stereotypes who put the world to rights while<br />

playing chess; their wives working on oldfashioned<br />

handlooms and crafting homemade<br />

cheese from goats’ milk. Here, the sound of<br />

mandolins replaces hardcore house. If you’re in<br />

luck, you may even spot a rare moufflon, the<br />

island’s indigenous mountain sheep, which looks<br />

like the average British blackface sheep wearing<br />

a set of DJ headphones.<br />

Food of love<br />

One of the many delights of Cyprus is the locals’<br />

love affair with fresh produce and mezze. The<br />

island is home to the world’s oldest continuously<br />

produced sweet dessert wine, five wine routes –<br />

even an olive oil museum (+357 99 565 768,<br />

oleastro.com.cv). Halloumi cheese, one of the<br />

island’s most famous exports, is everywhere and<br />

treated with almost Biblical respect.<br />

So, while Ayia Napa returns to its raucous parties,<br />

I decide to retreat to Ta Piatakia (Nikodimou<br />

Mylona, +357 25 745 017, tapiatakia.com), an<br />

acclaimed restaurant in Limassol, Cyprus’s second<br />

city, for an evening in the company of Roddy<br />

Damalis, the island’s answer to Jamie Oliver.<br />

With an award-winning restaurant, a bestselling<br />

book and a TV series under his belt, the South<br />

African-born Cypriot’s cookery is like a love<br />

sonnet to the culinary wonders of local life.<br />

“Greek and Cypriot mezze is one of life’s real<br />

pleasures,” he says. “For me, there is nothing better<br />

than visiting a local taverna with my family and<br />

spending an entire afternoon just talking and<br />

eating.” With the prospect of his feta wrapped in<br />

filo pastry and drizzled in orange blossom honey,<br />

duck garnished with walnut preserve, and Greek<br />

coffee ice cream with cardamom syrup before me,<br />

I feel like I may faint. I’d marry his caramel<br />

cheesecake in a heartbeat.<br />

I arrive back in Paphos as night falls – just<br />

in time for cocktail hour. A cool sea breeze<br />

beckons, coaxing me towards the seafood<br />

restaurants beside Paphos Fort, where rows of<br />

multicoloured Popeye-style fishing trawlers are<br />

roped up by the dockside. Really, what could be<br />

better than strolling along the harbour front with<br />

a fairytale fort – from the days of Alexander the<br />

Great – as a backdrop? Well, I am alone for a start,<br />

but, feeling romance in the air, I couldn’t care less.<br />

Aphrodite has done it again – my love affair with<br />

Cyprus has only just begun.<br />

With City and United both<br />

winning silverware in May, the<br />

new season will be the tightest<br />

contest Manchester has seen<br />

for decades, says Neil Squires<br />

AUGUST– OCTOBER<br />

Manchester City are no longer the punchline<br />

of a series of cruel and long-running<br />

football jokes. Fuelled by the petrol dollars<br />

of Abu Dhabi, they are the FA Cup holders and<br />

a Champions League side. For the first time in<br />

ages, they’re serious contenders.<br />

To the majority of Sky Blues supporters, being<br />

in contention is good but not good enough. While<br />

Manchester United still sit above them in the<br />

pantheon of English football, a boil remains to be<br />

lanced. It is difficult to assess which brought greater<br />

joy to City followers last season – their first major<br />

FOOTBALL<br />

For all their cash, City<br />

are still the little brother<br />

flailing away at their<br />

superior elder sibling<br />

trophy for 35 years at Wembley or the fact they<br />

beat United in the semi-final on the way there.<br />

It I was a delicious double in a season which<br />

also a brought third place in the Premier<br />

League. Le But some of the gloss was taken off<br />

their best season in memory by the fact that United<br />

secured a record 19th title at a canter.<br />

It has not n always been the case that City have been<br />

the junior partner in this Mancunian kitchen-sink<br />

drama but the status quo has prevailed for so long<br />

that a generation gen has known it no other way. For<br />

all their cash, ca City are still cast in the mould of the<br />

little brother broth flailing away at a superior elder sibling,<br />

who effortlessly effor keeps them out of range with<br />

a condescending cond hand on the forehead.<br />

It is 20 years since City finished higher<br />

than United in the league. Then, with Alex<br />

Ferguson’s Ferg distinctly average side distracted<br />

by a successful European Cup Winners’ Cup<br />

campaign, campa City, under Peter Reid, sneaked in<br />

one place ahead of their arch-rivals in fifth. Could<br />

<strong>2011</strong>/12 be the season when they finally earn the<br />

right to look down on Sir Alex and the red half of<br />

Manchester once again?<br />

“United have been on top for decades now but<br />

I think we are definitely closer. We are probably as<br />

close as we ever were. I think everyone knows that<br />

now,” says City’s Adam Johnson, who arrived from<br />

Middlesbrough two years ago. “When I signed,<br />

I knew I was joining something massive at City.<br />

We could give it a huge push this season and –<br />

who knows? – it could all change.”<br />

There are reasons to be optimistic. United are in<br />

a transitional phase after the summer retirements<br />

of Edwin van der Sar and Paul Scholes. Ryan Giggs<br />

turns 38 in November, and it appears that Rio<br />

Ferdinand’s best days are behind him. It remains to<br />

be seen how the football lesson imparted by a peerless<br />

Barcelona team in the Champions League final<br />

FOOTBALL<br />

will affect them. In comparison, Arsenal never<br />

recovered after the most one-sided one-goal<br />

aggregate defeat in the history of the contest at<br />

the hands of the masterly Catalans last season. The<br />

realisation that their own bespoke passing game<br />

was so markedly inferior to Barcelona’s seemed<br />

to significantly hit their self belief.<br />

While it is hard to envisage United shrinking to<br />

the same extent, being made to look so lame could<br />

have its after effects. To win the big games in the<br />

Premier League a side needs swagger and ego, and<br />

United’s may have been damaged. If there are cracks,<br />

then City should at long last possess the necessary<br />

self belief to exploit them, having taken out United<br />

at Wembley on that memorable FA Cup semi-final<br />

day. But doing it over a season is very different to<br />

doing it over 90 minutes.<br />

If it were as simple as signing a cheque, then City<br />

would have success guaranteed. Since the takeover<br />

50JetAway<br />

three years ago by Sheikh Mansour, a member of the<br />

ruling family of Abu Dhabi, no one has signed players<br />

quite so ostentatiously. The transformation of Eastlands<br />

into Middle Eastlands has brought in a high-profile<br />

manager in Roberto Mancini and high-class players<br />

– David Silva, Yaya Toure and Vincent Kompany are<br />

outstanding professionals by anyone’s estimation.<br />

The City squad is strong and deep.<br />

But with investment on this scale comes huge<br />

pressure to deliver. How the multinational<br />

collective copes with an expectation Manchester<br />

United have lived with and thrived upon for years<br />

will decide whether this is the year City soar. The<br />

success of 2010/11 was overdue but it has now<br />

become the base point.<br />

“It was a very good accomplishment but it sets us<br />

up well for phase two – phase two starts this year,”<br />

says City chairman Khaldoon al-Mubarak. “We are<br />

delighted with the way this team has progressed<br />

but our ambitions are much bigger than that. Now<br />

that we are in the Champions League we need to<br />

perform and progress, and that’s a big challenge. We<br />

have won the FA Cup, which is great, but I believe<br />

there are a lot more cups to win. And finishing third<br />

in the Premier League was great but we want to<br />

win the league. We have a taste for silverware now.<br />

There are so many talented individuals in the<br />

squad and a lot of heart. We have incredible<br />

foundations for incredible years ahead.”<br />

“Sheikh Mansour, in his timeline, always felt<br />

that year four was the year we would go for it.<br />

Frankly, I’m delighted for him that we are really<br />

in that position. We can look at entry into year<br />

four in a very strong position.”<br />

The “noisy neighbours” to whom Ferguson<br />

once referred are piping up again and this time they<br />

represent a genuine obstacle to back-to-back titles<br />

for United. Since the 2003/04 season, when Roman<br />

Abramovich threw his weight behind Chelsea,<br />

United have taken half of the eight Premier League<br />

crowns on offer, Chelsea three and Arsenal one. City’s<br />

emergence – and Liverpool’s revival under Kenny<br />

54JetAway<br />

52JetAway<br />

The ‘noisy neighbours’<br />

to whom Ferguson once<br />

referred are piping up again<br />

Dalglish – means United will be fighting fires on<br />

more fronts than usual this season.<br />

No one can doubt that United retain formidable<br />

strike power. Any team with Wayne Rooney has an<br />

enviable potency as he proved with his incredible<br />

overhead kick to decide February’s Manchester derby<br />

at Old Trafford. The scorched-earth pace of Javier<br />

Hernandez (the “Little Pea”) is also a lethal asset.<br />

But the deficiencies in United’s midfield that were<br />

exposed so ruthlessly by Barca, Ferdinand’s unreliable<br />

fitness and a change in goalkeeper leaves questions at<br />

the back. United will be in the shake-up – they<br />

always are – but do they have the edge to become<br />

champions again? The family over the fence may<br />

have something to say about that.<br />

Water<br />

Palaver<br />

From oil rig restaurants to floating cat sanctuaries,<br />

the canals of Amsterdam hold aquatic surprises<br />

aplenty, says Mark Smith<br />

L<br />

ast year, the waterways of<br />

Amsterdam’s central canal belt<br />

were added to the UNESCO<br />

World Heritage list on account<br />

of their outstanding beauty. While few<br />

would seek to deny the loveliness of<br />

“the Venice of the North”, it’s worth<br />

remembering that its delightful<br />

waterways, enchanting islands and<br />

chocolate-box bridges weren’t just put<br />

here for postcard purposes – since<br />

the golden age of international trade,<br />

water has signified myriad shimmering<br />

opportunities for Amsterdammers,<br />

and little has changed today.<br />

Marcel Ikelaar, the 44-year-old<br />

manager of Waterwinkel (10 Roelof<br />

Hartstraat, +31 (0) 20 675 5932,<br />

dewaterwinkel.nl), Amsterdam’s<br />

dedicated bottled water emporium,<br />

offers me a welcome drink: “Would<br />

you like a tea? Or coffee perhaps?” As<br />

propositions go, this is a little bit like<br />

entering a convent and being treated to<br />

a full body massage. “Perhaps some of<br />

the, erm, water?” I suggest, taking in the<br />

floor-to-ceiling, backlit shelves displaying<br />

more than 100 varieties of water from all<br />

over the world, each tagged with the kind<br />

of florid description usually reserved for<br />

fine wines. An extraordinarily groomed<br />

Ralph Lauren type is flashing his credit<br />

card at the angelic white counter. Er, can<br />

I have what he’s having?<br />

In a word: no. “Some people are happy<br />

to spend up to £20,000 on a bottle of<br />

water,” Ikelaar discloses casually,<br />

“particularly if it’s for a wedding or other<br />

special occasion.” We’re surveying the part<br />

of the shop devoted to “prestige” waters,<br />

with limited-edition glass bottles of Evian<br />

designed by the likes of Issey Miyake<br />

and Paul Smith. A brand called Bling,<br />

because its bottle is encrusted in Swarovski<br />

crystals, is selling like hot cakes. Don’t<br />

people know there’s a recession on?<br />

Perhaps predictably, given the fact<br />

that he runs a water shop, Ikelaar is<br />

unconvinced by my protestation that<br />

Amsterdam’s tap water – among the purest<br />

in the world – is perfectly drinkable. In<br />

fact, he looks horrified. “Even when they<br />

filter out all the plastics, medicines and<br />

impurities, water has a memory,” he<br />

confides, conspiratorially, “It remembers<br />

all the bad things that have happened to it.<br />

Besides, water pipes are straight, and water<br />

is not meant to travel in a straight line.<br />

So it loses its natural energy.”<br />

Another Amsterdammer who<br />

understands the importance of water is<br />

Talita Zuiderveld. Her previous job at<br />

a major record label meant she was often<br />

at the mercy of touring performers’<br />

diva-ish drink demands: “They’d want<br />

some obscure Fijian brand with added<br />

oxygen or whatever. No problem – I’d<br />

head straight for the Waterwinkel.”<br />

Nowadays, she runs a music PR agency<br />

called Poptart. Being self-employed has<br />

allowed her the flexibility to indulge<br />

another of her passions – cats – by<br />

volunteering at another wacky, watery<br />

Amsterdam institution, the Poezenboot<br />

(+31 (0) 20 625 8794, poezenboot.nl).<br />

Translating, literally, as “cat boat”,<br />

this floating feline sanctuary is tucked<br />

in between chi-chi houseboats on the<br />

stately Singel canal, and has been<br />

rehabilitating and rehousing the city’s<br />

abandoned cats since 1966. I’ve passed<br />

the unassuming brown structure<br />

AMSTERDAM WATER<br />

a thousand times, totally unaware of all<br />

the moggies inside.<br />

“But don’t cats famously hate water?”<br />

I ask Zuiderveld, as she introduces me to<br />

a cross section of Poezenboot’s pampered<br />

inhabitants (the boat has a capacity of 50).<br />

“Yes, they do,” she replies. “But here their<br />

feet stay dry at all times, and they soon get<br />

used to the rocking motion.” Across the<br />

boat, a group of lunch-breakers are cooing<br />

over recent recruit Sinatra, so-called<br />

because of his mesmerising topaz eyes. It’s<br />

easy to see how impulse adoptions might<br />

be an issue, but Zuiderveld assures me that<br />

potential adopters are required to make<br />

multiple visits in order to demonstrate<br />

their commitment. The boat’s walls are<br />

festooned with snaps of happily relocated<br />

graduates who’ve found proud new<br />

owners – as well as their land legs.<br />

I’d love to stay and play, but I have an<br />

appointment with another very special<br />

vessel. At this time of year Amsterdam’s<br />

Right: putting the puss in<br />

Poezenboot. Far right: JetAway<br />

in Venice, in Amsterdam<br />

arterial canal belt is teeming with handsome<br />

pleasure boats, but few can draw admiring glances<br />

like my ride for the afternoon – the city’s one and<br />

only gondola.<br />

Owner Tirza Mol was at carpentry school in 1999<br />

when she felt the urge to take her graduation project<br />

beyond the realms of wardrobes and parquetry:<br />

“People are always referring to Amsterdam as the<br />

Venice of the North. I thought, ‘Let’s make it<br />

a reality!’” Six months and a trip to Italy later, she<br />

had acquired the skills to build and operate her very<br />

own 11-metre gondola, much to the bemusement<br />

of her Venetian mentors: “The profession really is<br />

a closed shop, reserved mostly for men from certain<br />

families. They really didn’t know what to make of<br />

this Dutch woman with a mad dream.”<br />

Barefoot and elegantly attired in loose black<br />

garments, statuesque Mol, who’s also a part-time stilt<br />

walker, certainly looks the part as she punts us with<br />

seemingly effortless strokes through the still waters.<br />

Apart from sporadic boozy blasts of O Sole Mio from<br />

pedestrians, it’s an incredibly serene and romantic<br />

experience. It’s certainly easy to see why the<br />

immaculate, black-lacquered boat has been the site of<br />

so many marriage proposals over the years, and why<br />

the likes of Zuiderveld have hired the gondola to<br />

transport their seen-it-all charges from hotel to stage<br />

door: “I delivered Marianne Faithfull to [legendary<br />

music venue] Paradiso when she was last in<br />

Amsterdam,” says Mol. “She really was delightful.”<br />

Celebrity namedropping may come in handy<br />

when attempting to secure a table at my next stop,<br />

a restaurant so eagerly anticipated that it’s booked<br />

out every night from its scheduled opening in<br />

mid-July right through to Christmas. Dwarfing<br />

everything in its vicinity, including the floatingcity<br />

cruise ships making their way to dock, REM<br />

Eiland (45 Haparandadam, +31 (0) 20 688 5501,<br />

rig rising some 80 metres above the waters of<br />

the Ij river in an impossible-to-pronounce<br />

neighbourhood. Originally devised as a loopholeexploiting<br />

broadcast facility for pirate television<br />

stations in the 1960s, the huge red-and-white<br />

structure was dismantled in 2006 and towed all<br />

where, five years later, it’s to reopen as an upmarket<br />

eatery offering incredible panoramic views over the<br />

city, the river that made the city possible, and<br />

the city’s industrial suburbs.<br />

My guide is Wouter Slot, a 29-year-old project<br />

manager from Concrete, the Amsterdambased<br />

architectural firm behind this amazing<br />

transformation: “It’s a dream project for an<br />

architect,” he explains as we cling to the metal<br />

walkway beneath the rig’s original lifeboat. “It’s<br />

the kind of place I’m going to bring my kids and<br />

tell them, ‘I had a part in this.’” You can see why.<br />

Water has been very kind to Amsterdam, and<br />

the ingenuity of its inhabitants when it comes<br />

to the wet stuff continues to delight and astound.<br />

Even with its empty forested trails and crêche<br />

facilities, a holiday here costs a mere fraction of its<br />

high-rent neighbours. Val Cenis makes a great<br />

low-budget base, especially for novices who’ll<br />

love the longest newbie trail in France and the<br />

two beginner kindergartens. The lovely stone<br />

houses of Bonneval sur Arc are hidden over the<br />

hill from heavyweight Val d’Isère, and Orelle<br />

is now linked to Val Thorens, offering a quiet<br />

backdoor to the massive Three Valleys. Just try<br />

to keep it to yourself.<br />

Best For Partying<br />

Saalbach Hinterglemm, Austria<br />

Hold on to your hosen. Just 100km from Salzburg,<br />

you’re in the beer-bearing barmaid’s bosom of<br />

Austrian hospitality. Saalbach Hinterglemm Ski<br />

Circus is a galaxy of cosy huts and pulsing DJ Ötzi<br />

discos dotted across 200km of pistes. The slopes<br />

ring two villages, and you can ski round in either<br />

direction. Zoom upwards on Austria’s most<br />

sophisticated lift system, and when you need<br />

a break, try a vodka fig shot at the piste-side Alte<br />

Schmiede (+43 (0) 6583 82460, alteschmiedeleogang.com),<br />

which dates back to 1882.<br />

Alternatively, try a fried-potato-and-egg grostl at<br />

the out-of-the-way Spielberghaus (+43 (0) 6541<br />

7253, spielberghaus.at), which has its very own<br />

3km toboggan piste. Prime singing and swilling<br />

destinations are Bauer’s Schi-Alm (+43 (0) 6542<br />

Best For Foodies<br />

Courmayeur, Italy<br />

Located on the most stunning side of Mont Blanc,<br />

Courmayeur is a great place for fabulously<br />

flavoursome yet reasonably priced Italian cuisine.<br />

Take a 20-minute walk at the top of 2,625-metre<br />

Cresta Youla and you’ll build up an appetite on<br />

the epic two-hour couloir-and-meadow run<br />

down. Wherever you journey, however, be back<br />

in time for a hearty on-mountain lunch of<br />

rosemary focaccia and homemade pasta at the<br />

charming Maison Vieille (+39 0165 809399,<br />

Make sure to plan at least one big blow-out<br />

Best For Thrill-Seekers<br />

Chamonix, France<br />

Basically the Alps on steroids, Chamonix’s reputation hangs on the spectacular<br />

peaks that surround it, and it has more to offer the hardcore crew than any<br />

other European resort. You have to be up for it to take a bus or drive each day<br />

to the slopes but the full lift pass covers the bus fare and 11 areas. The main<br />

ones are Brévent, Flégère and Le Tour.<br />

On the checklist for any strong skier is the Vallée Blanche, a guided day-long<br />

tour that involves a few hairy steps hanging on to a rope followed by hours of<br />

cruising through speech-defying snowscapes. Stop for lunch at Refuge du<br />

Requin to admire the magnificent Géant glacier. Extreme boarders should<br />

head to the half pipe by Grands-Montets (with its vertigo-inducing cable car<br />

teetering at 3,275 metres) for some fantastic freeriding.<br />

Crans Montana, Switzerland<br />

Sun is the speciality here. Perched high on<br />

a south-facing, light-dappled bench, Crans<br />

Montana is a large town (two really: Crans and<br />

Montana) dominated by apartments and hotels<br />

of the blocky variety, but the southerly views<br />

towards the Matterhorn and the Dent Blanche<br />

make up for any architectural tedium.<br />

With flattering beginner slopes and super-cruising<br />

on the legendary Piste Nationale downhill course,<br />

this place attracts everyone from Roger Moore to<br />

the men’s World Cup racers (the competition is in<br />

February) and yummy mummies from Geneva.<br />

The newly redesigned cable car terminal,<br />

Chetzeron (+41 27 485 0808, chetzeron.ch),<br />

Horizons New<br />

Just along the coast from the crowded Costas lie Murcia’s<br />

undiscovered gems. Derek Workman picks four of the best<br />

Calblanque Nature<br />

Reserve, La Manga<br />

A short drive south of La Manga, the<br />

Calblanque Nature Reserve is a 13km<br />

stretch of unspoilt coastline – one of<br />

the few in Spain – boasting beautiful<br />

beaches, quiet coves, rugged walks,<br />

strange rock formations, salt flats and<br />

pine forests. Wooden walkways carry<br />

you through the dunes, and on the<br />

outskirts of the park are the remains<br />

of old silver, copper and tin mines.<br />

Its crystal clear waters are a draw for<br />

scuba divers. Quite simply, it’s one of<br />

the most spectacular areas in Europe.<br />

Declared a national park in 1987,<br />

and then a nature reserve in 1992,<br />

Calblanque features amazing wildlife<br />

such as eagles, woodpeckers, rare<br />

eagle-owls (known as Bonelli’s eagles),<br />

and endangered sea turtles. There’s<br />

a network of footpaths through the<br />

hills, but for the energetic, the 15km<br />

walk to Cala Reona has spectacular<br />

views as it meanders around the front<br />

of the mountain.<br />

Alternatively, head for the sandy<br />

beaches of Playa Calblanque and<br />

Playa Larga, and if you fancy bathing<br />

68JetAway<br />

au naturel, take the rough coastal path<br />

to Playa Negrete, a wide, sandy nudist<br />

beach with rocks and caves.<br />

Stay: La Manga Club<br />

For the ultimate luxurious break,<br />

La Manga Club is a gigantic five-star<br />

resort that’s highly regarded for<br />

its golfing facilities. Murcia enjoys<br />

300 days of sunshine each year, so it’s<br />

no surprise that the region is one of<br />

the most popular destinations for<br />

a golfing break – and you won’t find<br />

anywhere better than this grand resort<br />

with its three championship courses,<br />

excellent academy and reputation for<br />

holding some of Europe’s most<br />

prestigious tournaments.<br />

But it’s not all about teeing off.<br />

Active types can get their pulses<br />

racing with anything from running<br />

in stunning scenery to windsurfing<br />

on the Med and mountain biking,<br />

whereas spa lovers can unwind with<br />

a wide choice of classic or bespoke<br />

treatments. Foodies won’t go hungry<br />

either – La Manga offers an<br />

impressive range of 20 top-class<br />

restaurants to choose from.<br />

Bottom: the enchanted city<br />

Ciudad Encantada,<br />

Mazarrón<br />

Situated beneath the foothills of the Sierra<br />

de la Almenara, the Bay of Mazarrón has<br />

around 35km of beaches and coves, and is<br />

a beautiful spot for relaxing in the sun or<br />

exploring the ocean.<br />

On the beach at Bolnuevo, to the<br />

west of the main settlement, Puerto de<br />

Mazarrón, the wind and water have<br />

carved out some of the weirdest whimsies<br />

of nature you’ll ever come across: the<br />

Gredas de Bolnuevo, also known as the<br />

Ciudad Encantada (enchanted city). Over<br />

the years, the wind picked up salt water<br />

spray from the sea and fine grains of sand<br />

from the beach, sculpting the sandstone<br />

into phantasmagorical formations. Some<br />

look like gigantic mushrooms about to<br />

topple from the slim columns that support<br />

them; others have the appearance of<br />

winged totem poles that could take off<br />

like a Paleolithic monster with a good<br />

wind behind them. A series of vertical<br />

faults and the presence of clay loam has<br />

allowed for uneven erosion over time,<br />

and created a honeycomb effect.<br />

Stunning at any time of day, the<br />

formations are especially beautiful when<br />

seen by the light of the evening, the gold<br />

of the sandstone absorbing the last of the<br />

sun’s rays. Take a stroll or a bike ride along<br />

the promenade to watch the sun setting on<br />

these intriguing natural oddities.<br />

Cartagena Harbour<br />

Cartagena’s ancient natural harbour<br />

has recently undergone a revamp<br />

thanks to massive investment from<br />

the Spanish government. The port,<br />

where Roman and Phoenican ships<br />

dropped their anchors some 2,000<br />

years ago, is now a buzzing area<br />

for taking a leisurely paseo (stroll),<br />

soaking up the sun or sampling some<br />

of the region’s finest cuisine.<br />

View the picturesque port from the<br />

sea by hopping on the barco turístico.<br />

The boat sets sail every half hour<br />

between 1.30pm and 3.30pm from<br />

alongside La Patatcha floating<br />

restaurant, and costs around £4.50.<br />

For an alternative view of Cartagena,<br />

climb to the top of the hill past La<br />

Concepción Castle. The hike is hard<br />

but worth it for the breath-taking<br />

views of the old bullring, cathedral<br />

and glittering Med.<br />

Meander along the docks and you’ll<br />

come across Isaac Peral’s submarine.<br />

It’s not much to look at now, but this<br />

grey tube was one of Spain’s greatest<br />

nautical innovations. Designed by<br />

Isaac Peral y Caballero – the “father<br />

of the modern submarine” – it was<br />

the first to be electrically powered<br />

and to be able to fire torpedoes<br />

underwater. Despite successful tests,<br />

it received a critical report from the<br />

all-powerful Board of Evaluation in<br />

1890. The engines and torpedo tubes<br />

were removed, until eventually all<br />

that was left was an empty shell.<br />

Stay: NH Cartagena<br />

This compact four-star hotel is<br />

smack-bang in the heart of the<br />

action, just a short stroll from the<br />

revamped harbour area, town hall<br />

and buzzing Calle Mayor. Start your<br />

Gran Casino, Murcia<br />

If the magnificent entrance, with its rose marble<br />

pillars and heroic allegorical bas reliefs, isn’t enough<br />

to convince you that you’re entering a building<br />

of grandeur and significance, then the Islamic<br />

splendour of the Gran Casino’s patio Arabé will.<br />

This isn’t a casino in the sense of a gambling joint,<br />

but a gentlemen’s club – and it’s as kitsch as kitsch<br />

can be, filled with exuberant and intricate designs<br />

in all the colours of the rainbow.<br />

One of the most delightful rooms is the tocador<br />

señoras, or ladies’ powder room. Gilded chairs and<br />

mirrors line the walls, but it’s the ceiling that<br />

draws the eye – and the gasps – as it’s painted<br />

with youthful maidens with bright butterfly<br />

wings skittering across a sky of deepest blue.<br />

The piéce de résistance is the salon de Baile, inspired<br />

by the palaces of Louis XV. The ballroom,<br />

meanwhile, is a confection of gold moquette,<br />

with a stunning painted-silk ceiling. Find out<br />

more about the history of the casino by taking the<br />

informative multilingual audio tour.<br />

After a major refurbishment, the restaurant has<br />

recently reopened, specialising in Murcian cuisine<br />

with a creative slant, or you can just sip a coffee in<br />

the delightful patio azul. Later this year there will<br />

be a salon de té serving homemade cakes.<br />

Stay: AC Murcia<br />

If you’ve had your fill of opulence at the casino,<br />

Looking Up<br />

Northern cities are supercharging their economies with clusters<br />

of successful firms in high-growth industry sectors, says Ian Wylie<br />

Many Northern cities have been forecast<br />

a miserable future because of spending cuts<br />

and their dependency on public-sector jobs,<br />

yet recent reports by HSBC/The Future<br />

Laboratory and Centre for Cities have<br />

identified the likes of Leeds and Newcastle<br />

as “super cities”, poised to deliver greaterthan-expected<br />

growth and job creation.<br />

Newcastle<br />

Just across the Tyne Bridge from Newcastle,<br />

Gateshead is becoming a hub for the digital<br />

and media sector. Herb Kim, founder of the<br />

annual Thinking Digital Conference, doffs<br />

his cap to Gateshead City Council. “Its<br />

work creating icons such as the Angel<br />

Of The North, the BALTIC Centre for<br />

Contemporary Art (above), the Gateshead<br />

Millennium Bridge and the Sage Gateshead<br />

music centre says that Gateshead is serious<br />

about valuing digital, creative and cultural<br />

76JetAway<br />

industries,” he explains. A new Northern<br />

Design Centre will give the city another<br />

method of attracting digital and design<br />

companies. Kim’s one to watch is Cumron<br />

Ashtiani of Atomhawk, a company which<br />

has worked with Newcastle-based TH_NK<br />

to develop artwork for the new JK Rowling<br />

online presence, Pottermore.<br />

Leeds<br />

Historically, Leeds has always been<br />

a commercial centre, with bankers, brokers<br />

and advisors supporting the trades. But<br />

the growth of building societies and<br />

insurance companies in the region has<br />

created a strong financial services cluster,<br />

which has weathered the recent storms.<br />

“We have a great skills base here, which<br />

is supported by the universities, colleges<br />

and experienced professionals who can take<br />

on all types of work,” says Howard Kew,<br />

chief executive of Financial Leeds. Kew’s<br />

ones to watch are the Leeds, Yorkshire and<br />

Skipton building societies, which are in<br />

the vanguard of the revitalised building<br />

society movement.<br />

Manchester<br />

Across the Pennines, five BBC departments<br />

have moved to MediaCity in Salford,<br />

building on nearby Manchester’s rich<br />

broadcasting heritage. “I’m particularly<br />

excited about BBC Breakfast’s move to the<br />

region next year, as this is a five-day-a-<br />

week show – a juggernaut that will provide<br />

masses of opportunities,” says Maureen<br />

Walker of Northwest Vision and Media.<br />

“Opportunities will reverberate throughout<br />

the North as a whole.” Walker’s one to<br />

watch is Firestep, a subsidiary of Impossible<br />

Kids, whose recent commissions include<br />

a pre-school version of University Challenge.

Property News<br />

MONTE-CARLO OR BUST<br />

If you’re looking to retire in the sunshine, then you<br />

should consider checking out the microstate of<br />

Monaco. A recent survey put the lavish enclave, just<br />

25 minutes from Nice, top of the life expectancy<br />

list, with typical residents living to the age of 89.73<br />

– 20 years longer than the worldwide average.<br />

Although this is unsurprising given the<br />

standard of living the yachting hot spot offers,<br />

what’s even more surprising is that you don’t<br />

necessarily need serious capital behind you.<br />

HOLE IN UN<br />

The announcement that<br />

the Golf National course<br />

in Versailles will play host<br />

to the 2018 Ryder Cup is<br />

great news for second<br />

home owners.<br />

Along with hot spots<br />

such as Spain and<br />

Portugal, golf enthusiasts<br />

could now be heading<br />

to France to tee off.<br />

Reports suggest that<br />

up to 100 new golf<br />

courses are set to be<br />

developed between now<br />

78JetAway<br />

Savvy investors are snapping up property in the<br />

French town of Beausoleil, which is literally just<br />

across the street from Monte-Carlo. Here you can<br />

buy into the lifestyle of the rich and famous for<br />

around a quarter of the price of similar properties<br />

only a few steps away. It’s just as well – last year<br />

a 1,600 sq m, three-bedroom penthouse with<br />

views across Monte-Carlo harbour sold for<br />

a record-breaking £199m!<br />

TURKISH<br />

DELIGHT<br />

This year will see Turkey<br />

continuing to grow as<br />

a promising location for<br />

property buyers. As the<br />

country continues to<br />

buck the recession,<br />

experts are predicting<br />

that property prices<br />

in the south-western<br />

beach resorts could<br />

double in the next<br />

few years.<br />

Bodrum and Dalaman<br />

are two areas where the<br />

Turkish government is<br />

hoping to increase and<br />

develop tourism – annual<br />

visitor figures continue to<br />

grow and have risen by<br />

4.3m since 2007.<br />

Alex Francis of UK<br />

website Travelmatch says:<br />

“Figures indicate summer<br />

<strong>2011</strong> will be all about<br />

Turkey. This is due to the<br />

greater number of flights<br />

to resort areas, but there<br />

is no denying the<br />

country’s unique appeal.”<br />

and 2018, with France’s<br />

registered players paying<br />

an annual fee of around<br />

£3 each towards a special<br />

fund to subsidise the<br />

construction.<br />

French golfer Jean van<br />

de Velde said: “This is<br />

a dream come true. If you<br />

had said 25 years ago<br />

this would be coming<br />

here, people would have<br />

laughed. Golf is now the<br />

sixth-ranked sport in<br />

France, but it has<br />

massive potential.” PHOTOS GETTY

Move over Beyoncé and J.Lo –<br />

Marc Jacobs Daisy Eau So Fresh,<br />

a bright and floral fragrance that’s<br />

REGION’S GREETINGS<br />

In partnership with Leeds Bradford<br />

International Airport and Marketing<br />

Leeds, Jet2.com flew over French<br />

wine experts to taste the produce<br />

at Leventhorpe, Leeds’ very own<br />

vineyard. The connoisseurs flew<br />

in from Bergerac in the Dordogne<br />

Valley, an area renowned for<br />

its wine, as part of efforts to<br />

strengthen ties between the areas.<br />

PAELLA IN THE SKY<br />

Jet2.com is giving Scottish sun<br />

worshippers something to shout<br />

about by launching five new routes<br />

from Glasgow Airport to Spanish<br />

holiday hot spots Barcelona,<br />

Ibiza, Lanzarote and Malaga,<br />

with 2012 flights to these new<br />

destinations on sale now.<br />

To celebrate the launch, the<br />

airline has teamed up with<br />

a local tapas restaurant, Barca<br />

(barcatapas.co.uk) on Princes<br />

Square, to create the world’s<br />

first haggis paella. Ian Doubtfire,<br />

managing director of Jet2.com,<br />

George Bowden (below left) from<br />

Leventhorpe Vineyard commented:<br />

“While wine-making in Yorkshire<br />

might seem unusual, wine has<br />

been produced in the region since<br />

the 16th century so we’ve got some<br />

good heritage, and Leventhorpe<br />

has been producing fine wines for<br />

the past 25 years.”<br />

Following a tour of Leventhorpe<br />

and the chance to taste some<br />

commented: “What better way to<br />

celebrate the launch of four new<br />

Spanish sunshine routes than by<br />

creating our own unique version of<br />

paella, fusing two iconic national<br />

dishes to give people a flavour of<br />

these great destinations?”<br />

locally produced wine, the visitors<br />

were treated to a civic lunch with<br />

Alan Taylor, lord mayor of Leeds,<br />

and a tour of the city.<br />

The project celebrated<br />

Jet2.com’s weekly flights to<br />

Bergerac and the beginning of<br />

English Wine Week. Flights start<br />

from £29.99 one way including<br />

taxes and operate through the<br />

summer until 24 September.<br />

Jet2.com News<br />

The paella was taste-tested<br />

by Jet2.com’s Glasgow team<br />

members Andrew Marshall, Paul<br />

O’Hara and Lesley-Ann Ferguson.<br />

Lesley-Ann said: “I thought haggis<br />

and paella was a bit of an unusual<br />

combination but when I had some<br />

it tasted great – the mild spices<br />

in the haggis really complemented<br />

the flavours in the paella. I think<br />

it’s a fantastic way to mark the<br />

launch of the new flights from<br />

Glasgow and we hope plenty of<br />

Glaswegians will soon have the<br />

opportunity to enjoy their very<br />

own taste of Spain!”

AUGUST–OCTOBER<br />

LEADERS OF THE PACK<br />

Jet2.com, the North’s leading<br />

leisure airline, has asked its 940<br />

cabin crew and pilots to reveal<br />

their expert packing tips.<br />

Main luggage<br />

• Roll it up – roll your clothes<br />

instead of folding them to use less<br />

space and keep them crease-free.<br />

• Stuff your shoes – roll your socks<br />

into balls inside your shoes so<br />

they keep their shape.<br />

• Weigh it up – invest in a set of<br />

luggage scales so you don’t go<br />

over your airline’s baggage weight<br />

limit. Jet2.com and Jet2holidays<br />

offer a generous 22kg baggage<br />

allowance, but many other airlines<br />

offer only 15kg.<br />

• Keep your valuables close –<br />

Jet2.com’s 10kg hand baggage<br />

allowance means that items<br />

you don’t want to pack in<br />

your case can travel with you<br />

in the cabin.<br />

• Don’t stress – don’t get wound<br />

up by packing as Jet2.com has<br />

the most commonly forgotten<br />

items for sale onboard, such<br />

as sunglasses, cameras and<br />

phone chargers.<br />

Hand luggage<br />

• Make copies – photocopy your<br />

passport and travel insurance<br />

documents then keep the copies<br />

in a different bag so if you<br />

lose the original you still have<br />

all the details you need.<br />

• Dress for your destination –<br />

take a swimsuit or change of<br />

clothes in your hand luggage<br />

or at the top of your suitcase.<br />

With Jet2.com many flights arrive<br />

in time to be able to enjoy an<br />

afternoon at the beach, or some<br />

city sightseeing.<br />

SAFETY ONBOARD RESPONSIBLE FLYING WITH JET2.COM<br />

Safety & Comfort<br />

Most of the following guidelines are<br />

mandatory under Civil Aviation Authority<br />

Regulations to make sure your flight is safe,<br />

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 gives you vital information on the location of exits and<br />

emergency equipment. As this can vary from one airline to<br />

another it is important to pay attention to the safety briefing and<br />

read the safety card each time you fly. Our crew are specially<br />

trained to ensure your safety and security at all times. It is an<br />

offence to refuse to obey any lawful command of the captain or<br />

cabin 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 wireless<br />

communication devices is restricted onboard. Mobiles must not<br />

be used for internet access, text messaging or voice calls while<br />

onboard the aircraft. If your device is fitted with a “flight mode”<br />

or something similar you should switch it to this before the<br />

aircraft doors are closed to prevent any accidental transmission<br />

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<br />

but comfortable with the buckle the right way around so that it<br />

can be easily released. Infants travelling on a passenger’s lap<br />

will require an infant seatbelt, which our cabin crew will happily<br />

fit for you.<br />

SMOKING<br />

Smoking is NOT PERMITTED on any of our flights, and for the<br />

safety of all our passengers the toilet compartments are fitted<br />

with highly sensitive smoke detectors. Violation of this law may<br />

lead to prosecution and a substantial fine.<br />

ALCOHOL<br />

Please bear in mind the fact that high altitude increases the<br />

physical effects of alcohol, so moderate consumption is<br />

recommended. It is illegal to be intoxicated onboard an aircraft.<br />

86JetAway<br />

The consumption of any alcoholic beverage onboard other than<br />

those that have been supplied from the in-flight bar is not<br />

permitted and the crew are authorised to remove alcohol from<br />

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<br />

other passengers’ enjoyment of the flight and causes them,<br />

or our staff, any degree of distress, discomfort or unnecessary<br />

inconvenience. We reserve the right to ban passengers from<br />

future flights if their behaviour is a threat to the safety of our<br />

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<br />

45cm x 25cm including wheels and handles. Any piece of<br />

baggage that does not meet these requirements will be placed in<br />

the hold and the relevant fee will be charged. Any other excess<br />

hand luggage will be placed in the hold. Light or soft articles<br />

should be stowed in the overhead luggage compartments,<br />

heavier items under seats. Items lying loose on empty seats or<br />

obstructing the aisles or emergency exits are dangerous and you<br />

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 any<br />

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 hard,<br />

yawning or holding your nose while gently breathing out with<br />

your mouth closed. Flying also causes your body to dehydrate so<br />

you are advised to have something to drink that is not alcoholic.<br />

For your further comfort, please try to stretch your legs and arms<br />

as much as possible throughout the flight.<br />

IN-FLIGHT SERVICE<br />

On your flight we will be offering you a comprehensive choice of<br />

hot and cold drinks as well as a selection of delicious snacks,<br />

including sandwiches and confectionery. Full details of our<br />

onboard products can be found at the back of this magazine.<br />

We kindly ask all passengers to help keep the aircraft tidy by<br />

not placing rubbish in the seat pockets or on the floor. Our cabin<br />

crew will be collecting rubbish throughout the flight, so please<br />

help them to keep the aircraft tidy.
