Muchachito concert in Nave 8

Posted by syameses on 29 May 2007 | Tagged as: entertainment, alicante

I´m sure you have heard them on the radio and if not I highly recommend you listen to them.  Muchachito Bombo Inferno will play live in the Nave 8 Hall of Sant Vicente.  His songs have a catch to them, his sound makes you dance, you have no choice. If dancing is not your thing you will still enjoy watching everyone dance around you.

These cool band comes to you from Barcelona and have a great following. If you want to see something different show up Saturday June 9th to the Nave 8 at 10 pm and start enjoying yourself. Entry is about 15 euros.

Trasnochador, The nocturnal Train

Posted by syameses on 29 May 2007 | Tagged as: entertainment, curiosities, alicante, benidorm, calpe

Summer vacations are almost here and we could all finally start to relax a little bit and enjoy our short time liberty. For young people this time signifies a time to go our and party with their friends and have fun until the wee hours of the night (ok, some of us until the next day).

And now more than ever it is easier to get around to whatever entertainment areas such as Benidorm, Alicante, Playa San Juan, El Campello, Denia and many more thanks to the help of the TRAM which offers a nightly train called the trasnochador for the months of July and August that will get you back home safe.

An excellent idea, but if you don´t make it to these trains on time another great idea is to reserve a hotel and party until you drop.

Last Friday there was an article about us in the newspaper infomacion with a great photo of the entire group click here to see it.
