And to give you even some information to entertain your guests during a dinner at home, some extras about the Primavera Sound Festival’s History

The San Miguel Primavera Sound Festival is an event that takes place in Barcelona, usually between May and June. Since 2005 the festival moved to the Parc del Fòruma site.

Pixies, and Pavement have been announced as headliners, with latest acts including Pet Shop Boys, The Charlatans, Sunny Day Real Estate, Broken Social Scene, Gary Numan And Marc Almond, see the bottom of this listing for the full confirmed line-up.

The festival collaborates closely with All Tomorrow’s Parties who curates one of the four big stages. ATP takes place one week earlier and many of the acts on that festival also perform on this festival. The festival attracts approximately 60.000 visitors per edition. Also, daytime performances take place in a park somewhere else in Barcelona. These smaller performances have a free entrance.

Situated right on the coast with some stages on the beach, it has a beautiful atmosphere to soak up some brilliant music. Primavera Sound 2010 takes place at the Parc del Forum, Barcelona, Spain between Thursday 27th until Saturday 29th May.

Primavera Sound offers six outdoor stages and one of the biggest auditoriums in Europe. With events throughout Barcelona for the week surrounding the festival, this is more like a massive summer party than the usual festival.

Madrid - What's happening in Madrid at this moment?

Children and snow a perfect combination!

Febrero 5th, 2010

Finally winter has arrived! Aren`t you wishing to go skiing? Run and get your skis and your children and travel to Madrid. The mountains of Madrid has large and formidable tracks for the whole family.

The white season forces many children to stay home because of the bad weather. Probably for many is the saddest season of the year until it reaches the desired snow! Then winter is synonymous of joy and fun for people of all ages.

Over the years, go to the snow with children has become one of the most popular entertainment activities in winter. Thus, most stations and mountain facilities have been adapted to the leisure of the house and have scheduled activities specially planned for them - this way parents can also enjoy quiet moments alone -. Children have become the kings of the mountain!

Most ski resorts and mountain passes have enabled YOUNGEST child care for (children under 2 years). There are admitted the babies from four months. Fun for the elderly is guaranteed! The staff goes out to play with those who are old enough and is responsible of caring  and looking after the smaller ones (a highly qualified staff guarantees the same attention that in a normal nursery).

For children between 3 and 5 years or so, there is a “snow garden” station. Thanks to these gardens parents can go skiing quietly while the children are in touch with nature and learn how to behave on the slopes of snow there learning to slide on snow with skis specially designed for them, up to telecord, to conveyors and participate in many other activities as fun. Just to make the first contact with the snow!

Children age 5 and beyond can begin to learn to ski (so experts recommend). For the snow is advisable to wait until 7. But the best time is 8 or 9, because children learn faster and are better equipped physically and intellectually. For them there are experienced instructors who teach skiing courses. And remember, that even if you are an expert skier, you may not be ready to teach your children the arts of the white sport, as you may have acquired bad habits never commit an instructor.

Many of the tracks have also a catering service in nurseries and what to do in the afternoon when the roads are closed? Find out if there are special parties for children at the station. Typically, performances and games are organized for children to enjoy the day to complete

It is an opportunity to arouse interest in this filmmaker who became famous in 1997 with Funny Games.
