Valencia - Leaks in the Palau de les Arts

The Minister of Economy, Finance and Employment, Gerardo Camps has announced that following investigation into flooding of this beautiful building the cause can be attributed to rain!

Anyone interested in his views on rocket science can contact me for his email address or view the council website at: www.statingthebleedingobvious.com

After the flooding  the world famous Valencian architect Santiago Calatrava  suggested putting waterproofing measures in place! He can be contacted via : www.afterthehorsehasbolted.com

Hold the front page Valencia IKEA not yet decided!!

Todays Levante tells us that IKEA is weighing up both sites, Paterna & Alfafar. This is turning into  a farce akin to the 33rd America's Cup.

Having only once stepped inside an IKEA store I'm not sure I really understand what all the fuss is about. I found nothing of interest and found the queues to pay lessened my will to live.

Presumably all the posturing is a negotiating tactic by the Swedes to see who will offer the most insentives for them to build. Good for them!

IKEA comes to Valencia part 3!

Forget Paterna, whoever thought that an IKEA store would open there! According to todays Levante the first IKEA will now open in Alfafar a town/retail park a few kms south of the city. The land classification for construction is more advanced there and the store could be opened as early as 2011. Can't wait!!

How this leaves the Paterna project is so far uncertain though two IKEAs would seem unlikely.
